I think this should be a fun fight based on styles,but Garcia just seems to green for Khan imo..It was the best fight for either fighter so I think it's great its happening just wish Garcia seemed a bit more ready for it...
I see Khan starting fast using his jab to push Garcia back and making him pay...I think the 3rd rd will be the most important rd for Garcia..When Garcia see's the talent gap what does he do??Does he go all in,and put all out pressure on Khan,or does he stick to a losing game plan and try to box Khan..I think this will end with Khan winning by KO or tko around the 6th or 8th rd..I don't think Garcia is ready for this moment,I also think the talent gap will play a major roll in this fight in Khans favor...
How do the fight fans see it playing out??
TBH my first thought was Robert Garcia...
You know what,thats a great match..very stern trainer who can help a bit with defense.Or can he??I never heard anything about Garcia being good with defense or teaching it I should say..
IMO Khan needs get a trainer that will be hard on him..Khan has an issue with listening to his trainer and following a game plan..He needs a strong voice he can respect..I don't know who that is at the moment,but that's what Khan needs IMO..
I really believe Kham needs to keep his level of competion up..I hope he does not start fighting LW..I think if Khan goes to WW he should fight RG or Brook..If he stays at Jr WW then he should fight Prescott..But going backward should not be an option..

I watched the fight again but this time I used a sound software to filter out the commentators and crowd's noise and this is what I found:

My guess is, he stays at 140lb and they'll just start picking opponents at LW that are looking to move up for a big paycheck. When people say that AK is running out of options they forget that the new "in" thing for GBP is to just bring em up from a lighter weight division. It would be smart anyway, atleast for all appearance sakes it would seem that it would help give Khan a little advantage in that area.
My personal feeling is that 147 would be disasterous for Amir. But I also feel like it's time for Khan to move on to see what a different trainer can do for him. It's clear that whatever he was going to learn from Roach, he already has.

Watching Khan get KO'd like the hypejob fraud he is still is hilarious. Watching HBO still riding his nuts hard after the bum gets KO'd is also still hilarious.
So does Khan plan on staying at 140lb??I think that might be a bad idea...

Devestated for AK, he fought his heart out but after that left hook the writing was on the wall.
Man, it's going to be a long road back, but Khan will give it his all. Always been a fan, still am a fan, and will remain a fan till he retires. Props to Garcia too, but after all the sh*t his father talked my respect for them is limited
What about the right hands to the body from Garcia? That's what took AK's legs away. Plus, There's nothing wrong with the farther's actions. IT'S BOXING SON! :boxing:

That's what it looks like, Khan's running out of options @ 140 I see a few guys that could potentially KHTFO thrice and things don't get any better @ 147 :nonono:
Khan's official statement:
Looks like plans of steping up went down the sh1ter. Sooner or later the same sh1t will happen to him again. I'll still support him when he fights since he's a UK fighter just don't see him doing much.

Khan's official statement:
I would like to thank all my fans and well wishers for the amazing support I've had from you since my defeat on Saturday night. Obviously the fight never went as planned but credit has to go to Danny Garcia who caught me with a good shot in the third round that I couldn't fully recover from.
I guess that's boxing, where one punch can change everything, it's the reason so many fans love the sport. Many fighters down the years have bounced back from defeat to prove their greatness and that's exactly what I intend to do.
I've never shirked any challenge or refused to fight anyone in my division even though it would have been easy for me to do so. Some may say that attitude is the wrong one to have but I've always wanted to please the fans and be involved in exciting fights because many of you pay good money to come and watch me, and it's only right that you get to see the best fighting the best, especially in an age when so many top fighters hand-pick opponents.
I'm going to spend the next few weeks relaxing during Ramadan and recharging my batteries after what was a 16 week training camp for me. I'll then sit down with my team to assess the options in front of me.
Well done to Danny Garcia on his performance, but I promise that I'll bounce back stronger than ever as I look to regain my spot at the top of the 140lb division.

Khan's comeback fight should be either
Prescott
Alvarado
Matthysse
:lol1::lol1:you must want to see Khan get KO again. You might as well add Randall Bailey to that list.
