Khan: Garcia Will See a Pakistani Knock His Son Out!

Roach: Danny Garcia May Get Knocked Out Early
Shortly after the Las Vegas grand arrival of one of his star fighters, Amir Khan, I had a few words with four-time trainer of the year Freddie Roach inside of the main lobby of the Mandalay Bay. On Saturday night, Khan will be meeting upstart WBC champion Danny Garcia in an HBO-televised attraction, yet it is a fight that wasn’t expected. Having lost to Lamont Peterson by split-decision last December, Khan was eyeing a May 19th rematch with the Washington, D.C. native. The second encounter wasn’t meant to be, however, as Peterson was found to have been tested positive for synthetic testosterone in early May, with the fight being scrapped days later.

Amir Khan Looks To The Present, Not To The Future
By Jake Donovan - This weekend doesn’t pose the ideal situation for Amir Khan. The 2004 Olympic silver medalist and former unified 140 lb. titlist hasn’t fought since last December and isn’t even facing his desired opponent once he steps into the ring to face Danny Garcia at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan was hoping to avenge last year’s loss to Lamont Peterson. Plans were in place for a May 19 rematch but were canceled once Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone during pre-fight random drug testing. Comments were made by Khan and his handlers, questioning the validity of the first fight and filing even more protests over a verdict that never sat well with the Brit. Rather than continue to stress over unfinished business, Khan now focuses on what lies immediately ahead. There’s no concern about what can happen with a win, a tactic the British star has employed far too often in the past. Instead, a maturation process has set in as all of Khan’s attention is placed solely on Garcia and the best means of victory over the Philly fighter this weekend.
