Amir Khan UD 12 Danny Garcia: I think Amir Khan will beat Danny Garcia soundly. Garcia simply doesn't move his head and isn't technically sound. He loops his punches and is flat-footed.
An over-the-hill Erik Morales landed at will on Garcia and even mocked the Philly native. Khan is the superior athlete and is a solid combination puncher who will give Garcia fits and cruise to a wide points victory.
Record: 7-4

Amir Khan KO 10 Danny Garcia: The danger for Amir Khan and his camp is underestimating Danny Garcia, the unbeaten 23-year old.
Khan has all the tools at his advantage: speed, movement, and indeed more experience. Garcia, nonetheless, likes a tear-up and Khan has shown that he can be drawn in.
After being drawn toe-to-toe last time out by Lamont Peterson, Khan is talking of painting the canvas this time. Seeing him in the Wild Card Gym on July 4, ten days before the bout, he has never looked better physically.
This is a great opportunity to showcase his skills and speed but also a chance to show he can think his way through the fight, and pick his punches astutely.
Carrying the WBA belt in will make a difference to him mentally. If he fights from the outside, he'll pick Garcia off. That's the plan. Khan by late stoppage around 10, or by wide points decision.
Record: 7-4

Amir Khan UD 12 Danny Garcia: Amir Khan can exorcise frustration that has been building like steam in a pressure cooker after a controversial loss to Lamont Peterson and the subsequent cancellation of the rematch because of Peterson’s positive test for a performance enhancer.
Danny Garcia will test him with pressure and power, but his relative inexperience figures to take a toll in the later rounds. Khan’s footwork will allow him to rely on an effective jab and solid straight right from the outside in what promises to be a testing ground for a move up from junior welterweight to welter.
Record: 10-4

Amir Khan W 12 Danny Garcia: Amir Khan's height, hand speed and superior experience at higher levels of the sport will carry him through here. All credit to Garcia and his team for rolling the dice and taking this difficult assignment.
Who knows; the fight is taking place in one of the world's ******** capitals and Garcia may cash in. But I don't see it.
Record: 3-3

Amir Khan SD 12 Danny Garcia: Styles make fights and I'm leaning toward Amir Khan because he'll be running all night.
If Danny Garcia can touch Khans chin then it could be short night for him because we all know Amir doesn't have the best chin. Khan runs to a split decision victory.
Record: 8-5

Amir Khan UD 12 Danny Garcia: Danny Garcia has shown a reliable chin against Erik Morales and Kendall Holt, but the unbeaten champion doesn't have the hand and foot speed or the skill set to out-box Amir Khan.
Garcia isn't a huge puncher, either, but if he does connect with something big Khan proved against Marcos Maidana that he has learned how to survive a rough round.
Record: 6-4
