I&#8217;ll be there to drop bombs on June 23.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Leon Margules, promoter of the 29-year-old Prescott, says his fighter has the size and power to move up a weight class and still deliver one of his trademark thrilling performances. &#8220;He&#8217;s five foot eleven with a long reach. Breidis has the size to be just as effective at welterweight. And let&#8217;s face it, he&#8217;s never been in a bad fight in his life. If Golden Boy is looking for someone to step in and bring the fireworks, Breidis is their man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prescott suffered a loss in November of last year against top contender Mike Alvarado, but has since rebounded with a quick knockout of Joel Cassiani.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Breidis was beating Alvarado badly, but Alvarado came into the ring weighing about 180 lbs. My guy has to drain weight to get down to 140 and eventually Alvarado&#8217;s size in the ring wore him down. It was still a thrilling fight. Breidis is never in a bad fight, he&#8217;s always ready to trade leather with anyone. I think he&#8217;s a perfect choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombian slugger Breidis &#8220;The Khanqueror&#8221; Prescott (25-4, 20 KOs) says he&#8217;ll gladly step in and rumble with Victor Ortiz, now that Ortiz is in search of a substitute opponent on June 23 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
