Why is everyone ignoring...

but Khan was dominating round 2!!

Yeah, I was confused when that happened, wondering what the hell Khan was doing.

but Khan was dominating round 2!!

Khan put Garcia in a headlock to regain his balance and then whacked him while holding his neck, dirty.

Best thread and post i have seen in a long time, I was shocked at how calm and intelligent Garcia was in the first three rounds, Even when Khan was all over him he use his timing and boxing brains well for a 24 year old who hasn't fought that much at the top, That for me was the biggest thing I saw in the fight, Even his dad was impressive in the corner, am more impress looking back at the fight, He did everything a fight of Khan calibre should be doing while Khan did the exact opposite lol.

surely you cannot be serious

do you guys acutally believe that freddie roach is a bad trainer or are you just trying to have fun, and poke fun at pacquiao to push an agenda?


serious question:
do you guys actually think roach is a bad trainer, or the reason khan lost last night?

You gotta blame Khan more than Freddie but it seems like the gameplan was to for the KO early and he didn't have Khan ready to fight a defensive fight. People are saying he was getting tagged in sparring. That's on Freddie

I remember Roach saying it himself but, one of HBO's commentators also pointed out that it was Roach's desire for Khan to fight more flat-footed rather than his usual style. Which Khan was doing.

I wouldn't say "bad" trainer, as I don't exactly know what a trainer of that level is suppose to do but the amount of genius-like praise he gets when his fighters win shouldn't make his reputation untouchable when his fighters lose.

Especially when he runs his mouth about knocking opponents out before the fight.

In the end, Khan got caught and the loss goes on his boxing record, not Roach's.

A boxing cardinal rule.

Dude is a great counter puncher like marquez.

No, not even close

[LeG00N]

and pretty much he did the only thing he could do ....counter Khan with timing and haymakers inhopes of KO'ing him.

and he did it

[danceswithfire]

i didnt see any ring iq by any of em tbh...he was getting outboxed to death..khans defense just sucks thus he got caught by a punch he shouldnt 've

Fam, I know about them old heads, pop just a loose cannon and annoying to me. Maybe its because my mom took me and my sis out the hood and I have a different worldview, I don't know. But he's a clown to me outside of when he's working with his son, with that being said...

But when **** got real in the fight, pops buckled down and led his son to victory. It actually was pretty inspiring stuff.

Plus, I'm still not feeling the way he disrespected Morales

Anyone disrespecting Morales at this stage, be it trainer or young fighter, deserves less than no respect. In fact, they deserve pure disdain. A young hothead like Khan can be lured into a brawl with all the racist BS that Garcia was spouting but you don't take that route against someone like Morales. The guy is a legend and would have definitely been a big inspiration to a young, growing Danny Garcia.

Even someone like Floyd and Roger knew that JMM was deserving of great respect and they showed it. Guys like Angel Garcia are not deserving of what he currently has in his son.
