All those who say khan was dominating danny the first couple of rounds don't know sh*t about boxing. Danny was measuring khan since the fight began, countering khan's speed with timing in every exchange. It was just a matter of time before he put him in bad conditions with a shot. He already had him on his wheels since the second round.
I think, if danny beats lamont and khan algieri they two should rematch, it would be a pretty big fight at Barclay's and the winner could take on Floyd at the Barclay's next. Since khan doesn't seem to want to fight brook or thurman to earn his shot. Another good option in case danny comes out victorious against lamont, would be for him to fight thurman on the next PBC at NBC, and the winner goes on to take on floyd in his last fight.
I haven't said amir wasn't landing or outlanding nor didn't win the 1st two rounds, I'm just saying that it's not like garcia didn't have any answer.. danny was trying to use his great timing to counterpunch khan with combinations and single shots, and they were exchanging leather, it was obvious that the fight wouldn't last long, for any side, if they continued at that pace
I remember watching the fight live and there always this feeling of inevitability that Khan was going to get clocked, even in the whole two rounds that he won - and then BOOM!!!.....the birth of the Harlem Shake.
Reason Amir looked good was because he was taking huge risks. There was no way it was ever going to last. I mean, it sums what an idiot Khan is, treating a fighter like Garcia (who even then, everyone knew could crack) with such little respect in terms of what he could fire back.
He was fighting off emotion, Angel Garcia clearly got in his head.
The problem with Khan was the lack of head movement. From an intellectual standpoint, I'm sure it's different when you're actually facing ANY fighter, if you get/ got the timing on touching his body, you knew EXACTLY where his head was going to be.
Garcia touched that body and ended up throwing a blind punch that would have tapped Khan right on the chin if he had moved his head back even a little bit to avoid the hook. It just happened to work just as well.
Counter punchers absorb early beatings to measure and get their range right.
Marquez with Diaz in their first bout was getting handled or so it seemed, but then what happened? The only Khan loss worth talking is Peterson, which is hardly a loss given the circumstances. The other two are KOs, no questions.

If Danny Garcia beats Lamont Peterson in style, he throws himself headlong into the Mayweather sweepstakes; Danny/Angel and Brook/Hearn should both book their tickets in the first five rows. If Floyd washes Pacquiao 9-3/10-2/11-1, Floyd would need a new opponent for his last fight (Cotto 2 and Alvarez 2 would be the biggest fights to make, but Brook and Garcia would be 1A and 1B after that).
Floyd goes another way, and Garcia either goes with a summer title defense against Postol at 140 or his debut at 147 (against a guy like Robert Guerrero), before closing out the year with a big fight (maybe the Khan rematch). Thurman is a fight that could wait for 2017 tbh.
I don't get where people thought Khan was dominating the fight. They were both landing bombs... maybe Khan was getting there quicker but at no point did I think Garcia was in trouble. Garcia gets hit a lot. Getting hit by Khan was no different than any of his other fights
after the first couple rounds DG looked like he was already in desperation mode, he was loading up for the homerun because he was getting outclassed, after the fight he said Khan was hitting him so fast he thought the Ref was punching at him too and his dad was panicking in the coroner buddy, i think YDKSAB if you dont consider what khan did up to that point dominant
Khan was slicing up Danny in the fight, no doubt. But this is the problem with Khan, if you land it clean on his chin it doesn't matter how bad you were losing, you'll end up knocking him out. A bad chin is about the worst thing you could have in boxing. Mayweather with Amir Khan's chin, is still Amir Khan. Danny landed on the neck, I think starving yourself for your religion is noble but there is no way it's good for your body ESPECIALLY as a professional boxer.
This, Garcia fans would like you to believe he had everything under control and led Khan into a trap. But in reality he just was loading up on right hands and hoping one landed with enough force that he knocked Khan out.
But when it all came down to it Khan didn't defend against the right hand and paid the price.
it was a left hook that made him do the judah dance he didn't defend against either i guess
Garcia was 0-2 down but he was having a better third round after he switched to the body. I think he was maybe going to win the third round, it was close anyway. I don't really buy the timing thing he was being outboxed before he landed a big shot.
As to a rematch, good fight but not one I see happening since Khan is targeting big fights and Garcia has no fans, is not PPV and no record at 147. He'd be too high risk for Khan considering the potential rewards (or lack thereof).
What do you mean you don't buy it? The footage is right there for you to watch, you can't argue with the actual footage.
Garcia will never rematch Khan, bro. Just like Khan will never rematch Prescott and Maidana. It's too risky. Garcia will never do rematches, anyway. Herrera, Matthysse, Khan... waste of saliva.
Garcia pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. He was not measuring: his shots were landing, they just hadnt done the trick yet and Garcia was worried. Khan was tagging his ass.
It was a good fight. Khan's chin eats ass and Garcia hit him with the right shot. That's all there is to it, pretending like Garcia had some masterplan he knew would win it from the jump is comical.

Go back and watch rounds 2 and 3 and count how many left hooks whizzed by Khan's head. He was getting his range right and it finally landed.
Yeah because he was missing, over and over again. R.1 was the same.
Like Chris fooking Algieri?
Didn't you read the line under it about risk? Algieri is low-risk.
:lol1: Give the brits a break its been a rough few days
He is a brit.
Garcia really looked like he didn't want to be in there after the 2nd round. I know he came back to hurt Khan in the 3rd round but up until that point Garcia didn't look very confident in his abilities to win the fight until he landed that hail mary.
