The last evening ESPN FNF card from the UIC Pavilion at Chicago town spawned a couple gimmes in the feature pairing and semi-final mismatch.

Breides Prescott had himself a walk in the park, near whitewash in the main event, capping a one-sided decision with a stanza nine knockdown en route to  victory over hapless Harrison Cuello.

The official scoring saw it Prescott to the tune of 98-91, 99-90, 99-90 - my unofficial had it Prescott tossing a proverbial shutout 100-89 in points and 10-0 in rounds.

Jury still out on where the age 27 prospect fits in the hotbed of junior welters - entering the Cuello bout he was number 12 under the WBA listings - just a notch below Patrick Lopez at eleven, who sparkled last night in round three stoppage of unbeaten Prenice Brewer.

Post Scripts: Breides Prescott (23-2, 19 KO) ~ pretty much at prime age displayed quality skills with decent power. The transplanted Colombian now calling Miami, Florida, home should move up a few rungs among a mixed WBA field of former strap holders and young prospects. Jury out.
                    Harrison Cuello (19-13-3, 14 KO) ~ age 32 & unranked pretty much tells rest of the story - was in for the proverbial pay check.

Co-Feature saw power punching southpaw Patrick Lopez (20-2, 12 KO) surprising undefeated favorite Prenice  Brewer with a two-fisted barrage in stanza three that took the fight out of the tall at 5’11 opponent.

Following a opening round standoff, a round two tell-tale reaction from Brewer courtesy of a Lopez power left hand to the solar-plexus hinted of a possible upset in the making.

Round three saw Brewer on the defense while the veteran Lopez looking good on the offense with barrages of assorted combos and flurries - the viewer could hear hack in charge John O’Brien repeatedly shouting “Show me something” at the battered and beaten Brewer with back against the ropes.

Finally, at the 2:38 mark O’Brien called it no-mas

Post Scripts: Patrick Lopez (20-2, 12 KO) ~ lots of mileage on the odometer at age 32 but comes to fight - and has the southpaw edge going for him. The impressive outing  stopping Brewer should move him up couple rungs among the WBA gang.

Entertainer, but just how far he can go at this point is anyone’s guess.

                  Prenice Brewer (15-0, 6 KO) ~ age 22 @ 5’11 had the voices over the ESPN network gushing - the end result had one wondering where them scalps had been heisted? A single body punch took the fight out of him in stanza two - he then resembled the French army come them evil German forces during the big WW2.
