Do the Khan fans still think Garcia had a lucky shot?

He has the patience/timing of a counter-puncher and the power/confidence/eagerness to exchange of a slugger. He doesn't have an educated jab or right hand, but those are things that can still be developed. He's continued to improve with every performance. He didn't get reckless and wild like he did against Khan, allowed the fight to play itself out and took advantage. I really enjoy watching Garcia as he puts in work. He is beatable, but he has several qualities that I want in a fighter.

    I'd pick Lucas over Garcia, but it's very possible that he could win in impressive fashion.
    I still think Matthysse is real trouble for Garcia because it will end up a fire fight and while Garcia doesn't mind being in that sort of fight I think it suits Matthysse more. It would be a real interesting and entertaining fight for sure.

    That said I don't think we know the upper limits on Garcia's abilities so if he can kick it up another notch it might be Matthysse that would end up in trouble. Garcia is a real interesting young fighter and it will be fun to watch how he fully develops.

      I have never read or heard anyone calling that shot "Lucky" you have to be blind to call that lucky, that was and is Garcia's signature punch, so whether his eyes were closed, sleepy or weepy when he threw the punch is irrelevant, the fact is he knew the range of where Khan's ******ed head was even with his eyes closed.

        A fighter like Matthysse would force Garcia to adjust some of his tactics and come in with a strong game-plan. I would expect Garcia to use the jab a lot more than usual, and he'd be forced to give up his ground more often.

          Khan called it a lucky punch.

            Maybe 7 rounds. Then I think Garcia could power through him again. Khan is a talented guy, but his chin and stamina are not great, and probably never will be. It doesn't help that when he gets tired he gets easier to hit and you're more susceptible to knockouts anyways.

              Blind shot which lead to his neck. If his eyes were open he most likely would have adjusted for the chin.

                  Why is everybody saying Khan has brains? He was getting hit with counter hooks from the first round up.
                  Didn't change anything he was doing either from the time he started to when he got KO'd.
                  Go in, flurry, go out

                    I think they're saying the opposite?
