You know what happens when you fight guys that can’t box? You move up the ranks too quickly and eventually rocket to the grounds of reality when you come face-to-face with someone who can. 25-year-old Colombian Breidis Prescott had never fought outside of South America, but he arrived in England with a lot of gusto and confidence…and damn did it pay off.

After 18 straight wins against an array of mostly light-punching opponents which had established Khan’s box-office appeal, the 21-year-old from Bolton was destroyed in 54 seconds by the fierce puncher from South America.

And by destroyed, the writer means Khan’s boxing future will probably head down the Rocky Balboa road before he faced “Apollo.” Check out the video below. It’s a doozy.
