Does Danny Garcia KO Khan again?

I'm talking the Garcia from the Morales II fight vs. the Khan from the Molina fight. I say yes. Garcia vs. Morales II exhibited excellent body punching and also showcased an improving straight right hand. Instead of looping it like he does 98% of the time he threw it straight and nearly sat Morales down. Khan in the Molina fight looked terrible. He didn't look improved whatsoever, and he was even caught by some hard right hands which is unacceptable versus a bum like Molina. Even a top tier trainer like Virgil Hunter can't help Khan, he's too flawed and stuck in his ways. Garcia will shine versus Judah, i'm guessing a nice left hook over a lazy Judah jab and sitting him down for the count. If Khan has a death wish he should rematch Garcia after that, if not he needs to stay far away. Garcia won't let Khan tee off on him like he did in the first fight. He already understands his timing and range against Khan, so the first mistake that Amir makes it's goodnight. War Garcia.

He at least puts him on the canvas again, maybe Khan gets up and survives this time. I completely disagree with the opinion that Garcia was lost until the knockdown in the third when these two fought. Garcia was vastly overmatched against Khan's speed. He spent one round figuring it out, the second getting his timing down, and basically ended the fight in the third. He was never lost. Based on the Molina fight, Khan is no different, gets timed, and gets hurt again. good post!!...touched on ALL points properly :fing02:

Khan could outbox Garcia at range with a jab and shut him out, or he could throw multiple combinations on the inside like he usually does and get knocked out again. If Khan fights a smart fight he'll beat Garcia, if he boxes like an idiot and doesn't respect Garcia's power he'll get stopped again. Right now I got Garcia winning because Khan said after the Molina fight that he wants to KO Garcia and that's exactly the wrong mentality to have going into the rematch. He'll lose again if he looks for a KO.

Danny Garcia is more talented than Amir Khan. I'm willing to go as far to say that. He has good head movement, nice body work, may not be the fastest but has beautiful timing and will place his punch right where he wants it to be. Unlike Khan who flurries with no authority behind his punches, drops his hands whilst punching all that with a weak chin to go along with it. That's skill, not talent. Khan's about as talented a fighter as exists in the sport.

I don't see why he wouldn't,i saw the same old Khan in the Molina fight,blazing hand speed but little power and wide open,easily timed

The rematch is definitely in the works. I mean it'll be easy work for Garcia even if he loses the title to Matthysse, he has Kahn to redeem himself. Make it in the UK so the British fans would get another chance to see this wasteman get KO'd again.

I picked yes, but if khan improved defense wise, he probably get a SD or UD

No, that was the product of poor decision making. Thinking he was rugged enough to trade with Garcia. I disagree. He does it in every fight, and it's not because he's intentionally trading punches. He just leaves his hands down while throwing combinations. In the amateurs he got away with it and got by on pure athleticism. That's not to say he can't box, but he has poor reflexes and leaves his hands down while throwing. Now there's 12 rounds, not 3, and guys that can crack like Danny. He showed he still has the same flaws in the Molina fight, hopefully Virgil can work on his hand placement or at least get him moving his head while throwing, otherwise I expect to see Khan visit the canvas a few more times before he retires. And to the OP, of course Danny puts him to sleep in the rematch, no question.

I voted yes, Kahn does get stopped in the rematch. I think in the later rounds cause he'll definitely play it safer. Once Danny shoves him off his bicycle from body blows he'll eventually stop him. KO 7-10

No, that was the product of poor decision making. Thinking he was rugged enough to trade with Garcia. Khan threw an uppercut from 10 feet away and got caught with a picture perfect left hook. That's evidential of Khan lacking fundamentals.

No, that was the product of poor decision making. Thinking he was rugged enough to trade with Garcia. IMHO, Khan is "talented". He has height/reach and tremendous speed, the kind of speed which can completely overwhelm the opposition. However, I think Khan's fundamentals are lacking and I don't consider him to be a very "skilled" fighter. Khan seems to have a problem gauging distance properly, he doesn't have a respectable inside game, his foot-work can get sloppy, he becomes defensively irresponsible, he telegraphs his shots, and he lets punches go with no rhyme or reason. Even with all his flaws, he's still a tough out. If Hunter can fix these problems and maximize his potential, Khan could be a force.

Yes he does. But Khan might run around the ring & last a tad bit longer. But he goes to sleep eventually.

I voted yes he will KO Khan again. I can't think of a good reason why he wouldn't.

If he was so "fundamentally talented", he wouldn't have gotten dropped the way he did. No, that was the product of poor decision making. Thinking he was rugged enough to trade with Garcia.

Not if Kahn has a living brain cell in his head. Though Kahn still has big issues to work on, he's fundamentally talented enough to decision Garcia any day of the week. It's just a matter of the decisions he makes. If Kahn plays his own game, he wins. I just don't know if he's smart enough to do that. He certainly wasn't the first time. And, I'll say the same applies to Judah. If he was so "fundamentally talented", he wouldn't have gotten dropped the way he did.

I think Kahn gets kod again, in the Molina fight he got caught with several hooks if that was one of Danny's hooks like mayweather said that's all she wrote.

I remember thinking when I watched Khan-Molina that if someone with power caught him with some of the shots Molina did then he'd go down. Having said that, he's a more naturally talented boxer/athlete than Garcia, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him dominate for 12 rounds. I'd like to see that fight again.
