The right uppercut.
Great oppurtunity for a counter left hook. You'd think that Roach would have told Khan not to throw it.
Uncanny

good catch
exact same shot
morales chin saved him
proof it wasnt a "lucky " shot its all about timing
posters who have never boxed or been in a gym will say " it was a lucky shot he wasn't even looking" ..like the martinez williams ko
i can hit the speed bag for 20 mins straight without looking doesn't mean i don't know where it will be F$UCK SPEED! TIMING KILLS !!!!!
I think Khan needs to do a 1 year Mayweather retirement and load up on HGH to thicken his skull so he can asorb punches. ****'s seem to have thin bones
Yea always need to know your opponents money punch, the left hook shouldn't have even been that hard to take away especially for a taller more rangy guy with faster hands.
Circle to the left, pop the jab to maintain proper distance, tie up when he manages to get in close and keep your fucking right hand in good position (just up is not enough because even a guy with minimal ability can work around something that never adapts). It really does show Khan's lack of boxing acumen that he could not execute such a simple boxing concept, I am pretty sure Roach knows how to neutralize a left hook~ you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink
wasn't mistakes IMO, that is just Confirms to me that Danny has EXCELLENT TIMING and he baits his opponents to go for punches they think they can get away with, while they are coming underneath, Danny is coming from over the top and around, so you may land your punch but his Punch will do a lot more damage if it land, plus Danny has a damn good chin so he can afford to eat your uppercut to land his VICIOUS LEFT HOOK
So it is not two guys making the same mistake, it is Danny setting two fighters up perfectly to land that explosive Left Hook, he said all of this PRE FIGHT:
"Timing Beats Speed" "Can Khan Take My Left Hook That Dropped Morales?" well he and his father proved to be RIGHT! while the Bias Fans who don't know much about boxing and is only rooting for the Guy that is the same Nationality as they are, they are left looking for excuse and scrambling for answers as to why the guy they wanted to win...FAILED!
Much More Respect Goes To Danny For Me! Impressive Patients and Timing For A Young Fighter...been watch him since the Ashley Theophane fight on ESPN, while I thought he lost that fight, the dude has improved pretty much every fight since then
lmao @ this new "Danny" status Garcia has been on since Saturday night. You can vibe the affection in it.

Cant blame the trainer, am sure they worked on it so many times, considering that was Garcia's last fight too, If a fighter goes in there and then get caught by the same punch that he threw to KD a previous opponent then its on the fighter not his trainer.
You can blame the trainer, if you look at the fight from rd 1 Garcia landed the same hook a couple of times, until he went for the blind shot hook in round 3.
It was very evident that Roach did not prepare Khan to counter or defend the punch, they probably didnt even respect the punch and thought it was some kind of fluke
Roach idea of defense is standing in the middle of the ring with ur hands between ur head
Your right. Even before the fight started I knew that left hook would be key. I didn't think Khan would be so stupid as to not be prepared for it or even give Garcia a chance to use it. What does this say about a worn out, and out of shape morales who in two fights with the same guys has come out looking better than Khan. Sure, he didn't win against either but he didn't look like he was survival mode against Maidana, or had he come in shape and not have had the gall bladder surgery a couple of months prior to the fight with Garcia he probably would of looked way better.
