    It was stopped far too late. The only reason it wasn't stopped in the 3rd is because Khan was the draw. If Garcia had been as hurt as Khan was, unable to even stand, that fight would have been stopped in the 3rd.

      Wasn't a bad stoppage.
      Yeah, when a fighter can no longer stand after taking punches it's time to stop it. Any thoughts that this was an early stoppage is utterly ridiculous.

        I think it was a good stoppage, Khans legs are always gone but he was on ***** street after that huge knock down, even when he would slightly recover, Danny would tag him and Khan would be all over the place.

        If it wasn't stopped I think Khan would have been seriously hurt.

          Yeah, sure let Khan in there for longer to keep getting hit and end up in the hospital like Magomed or dead like Gonzalez(RIP) right?

            Boxing is a sport, not a cemetery or a place to badly hospitalize each other. It's dangerous as it is.

              Shoulda been stopped before it started because khan shouldn't be allowed to fight anybody because he sucks

                Very true.

                There's a fine balance though.
                But this stoppage was fine. Khan ended the fight on his feet and he was clear when he sat down.

                    no it definitely was NOT stopped too early. i was there at the fight and i didn't even think it should have went on after the first knockdown...

                      I still can't believe some of the shots he took in that round.
