Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia Drills Amir Khan in Vegas Shocker

[WESS]

dude, everyone is saying exposed this and exposed that. every lose the fighter got exposed. Did the media and fans think Khan was the secound coming?
i dont think so, everyone thinks and still thinks Khan is exciting to watch, has great speed, decent power, BUT can not take a punch well.
i dont think that changes at all. so what was Khan Exposed off?

or do think think he got downgraded so much that he is a Bum fighter now and the Media should not have been hyping him up?

It is what it is. We all know how people from the UK have always hyped their fighters to the extreme but Khan has and always will be a hype job. The footwork has never progressed under Roach and the chin.........well we don't need to go deep into that.

The truth is people seem to not realize that boxing isn't all about being a great athlete. Khan is a good athlete but he isn't a great fighter and at this point in his career he will never be one, it just is something he will ever overcome. Peterson with or without PEDs would of beat him in a rematch, Garcia iced him, and without a doubt Bradley would of beat up on him too.

I picked Garcia by kayo going into this fight because Garcia is just simply better. Garcia isn't special by no means, he's wild as hell but Khan just isn't good. He's so average when you talk boxing skills its absurd and that is why he is the biggest hype job in ages. People need to stop falling into the trap of hand speed. Peace out, Amir.

Garcia was being very wild and sloppy. Yet Khan couldn't even take advantage of it. It was truly an embarrassing performance.

Props to Garcia but he's not that good either, he just beat the **** out of an overrated fighter. I agree with you.

Garcia is average at everything, I don't know who he reminds me of but it's just average but I'd rather be average than be great at one thing(speed), like Khan. Khan, I don't know it's like he lacks so much ring iq. Whether it's footwork, timing the punches, or knowing when to bounce out the kid has and will never learn to be a boxer. He's lucky Maidana is just a walking statue or he would of been knocked out by him too.

Kahn did good, but Garcia did gooder.

The thing is, Khan has the potential to win this fight by feigning, jabbing and moving. But, true to form, Freddie had his fighter employ the wrong tactics: standing in there throwing combinations against a slugger.

wow, Khan exposed.....enough said....Good fight for Garcia. He is a good a kid, still wet behind the ears, but a good kid. Now, the way his father is, might be hurtful for his career....

Ok, what fight were you watching to say that man got exposed? Garcia had his head turn getting popped by a two punch combination and just swung at the fences. Garcia still ain't showed me enough to like him, and they want take a rematch becuz they know that was a lucky shot.... To take a punch in the neck like that, I don't know who could recover from that

Actually, Garcia is not at all a slugger, Khan made him a slugger by throwing his weak chin into Garcia's fists. Worst thing to do is to try to make a fighter pay when they knock you down. Cool heads prevail and Khan failed big in that area.

Khan could have easily won but he fought like Terry Norris did in the first fight against Simon Brown. If he had fought like Terry Norris did in the second fight, he would have boxed to a decision like Norris did. Khan can win some title somewhere but he will never be in a superfight at the star level. It is what it is, he has been stopped or hurt too many times. He doesn't have a world class chin.

[richardt]

As far as Garcia, Mike Alvarado, Luca Matthysse, Joan Guzman, and Jessie Vargus would beat him, maybe stop him. Maidana, Judah, Olusegun could beat him as well. His division is too deep to survive 2 title defences against these guys.

[Hitman Hodgson]

Khan and Roach need to reasses his style because he simply doesn't use his attributes to his advantage. Fight tall on the outside and use your speed. He was winning easily until he got complacent (again) and got caught. Stop worrying about being exciting and concentrate on winning the fight.

[Aracibo04]

Khan with his skillset, natural ability and body (height, arm length etc) should be way better than he is, it's disappointing because he could be an elite level fighter. For all 3 of his fights he has fought the wrong fight, tonight included.

Maybe the natural ability and skill set is not really there to the point where it would really make him better than he as you are expressing.
Maybe it was just good advertising.

I do like the fact that he kept trying to turn the tide, that is admiarable.

lucky shot?...how many times does a shot have to connect and disconnect a fighter's senses BEFORE its no longer considered luck?...simple question
