Prescott loses perfect record

Amir Khan's conqueror Breidis Prescott slumped to the first defeat of his career in Las Vegas on Friday night.

Vazquez gets up from a knockdown to claim a split decision win

Amir Khan's conqueror Breidis Prescott slumped to the first defeat of his career in Las Vegas on Friday night. The Colombian native, who so sensationally knocked out Khan in the first round of their encounter at the end of last year, boasted a 21-0 record heading into his lightweight bout with Miguel Vazquez. And it seemed he would go on to record the 19th knockout triumph of his career when Vazquez was floored by a left jab to the head in the opening round. But the Mexican slugger rallied and had his opponent reeling in the seventh round, as Prescott's left eye began to close up following an flurry of straight shots. Prescott had only been taken the distance three times before and his lack of experience told as the judges handed Vazquez a split decision victory Vazquez won by scores of 96-93 and 95-94 on two scorecards, while Prescott was ahead 97-92 on the third judge's card. The Mexican's record improved to 25-3 as a consequence - a feat Khan and his camp will surely have taken notice of on the eve of the Bolton boxer's WBA light-welterweight title in Manchester.
