Danny Garcia vs. Amir Khan Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

For Garcia's WBC junior welterweight title (he won in the fight with Erik Morales) and Lamont Peterson's vacated WBA junior welterweight title, so the winner gets 2 straps. This should be a crackin' fight, a lot at stake for both pugs.

July 14
At Las Vegas (HBO): Danny Garcia vs. Amir Khan, 12 rounds, for Garcia's WBC and vacant WBA junior welterweight title; Fernando Guerrero vs. Jose Medina, 10 rounds, super middleweights..

Khan should win this, I believe he's a better boxer then Garcia, has more power, and more Championship experience. I'll say Khan stops Danny in the 5th or 6th round, Freddie should have Khan ready.

50/50 imo Mars as Khan has less then a zero plan B.

Could be Inuit, i'm thinking Khan will be too much for Garcia, so we shall see.

[Rantcatrat]

Garcia deserves credit for his win against Morales. However, Khan has too many physical advantages over Garcia to lose this one.

[roberto duran legend]

Khan cant lose this fight. Easy nights work.

I predict a wide UD for Khan. Somewhere between 10-2 and 8-4. Khan is better technically and much, much faster. I think Garcia is pretty ordinary.

I don't think of Khan as really having any KO power against decent-to-tough fighters though (Garcia at least has a better chin/will than Zab), so I do see it going 12.

I don't know, Khan has decent power, enough to KO Garcia, I believe Khan stops him in within 6 rounds. Garcia's best win was against Morales who was beyond shot, i'm unimpressed with this dude, and his father is an idiot.

Amir Khan I Will Punish Garcia:

[DavilaJones]

I like Khan, he does what a boxer is suppose to do and that is to fight everyone and anyone. He has good pop and throws nice crisp punches. However he leans forward too much, his punch accuracy leaves something to be desired, specially against fighters who stand right in front of him, and I think his biggest sin is that he always always loses balance when he throws his right hand. Look at his fights and you'll see his chin slowly but surely creeps forward and forward the more he throws that punch. It's just waiting for an uppercut.

But then again no fighter is perfect but I do wish he would work on his balance considering he has great tools, it would be a shame to see him lose a fight due to a vicious uppercut.

I also predict that Khan will win this one.

Agreed Garcia’s dad is an idiot but that should not be held against Garcia. He cannot help who his father was. Khan will out box Garcia and wins a comprehensive decision if not a late round stoppage.

[Kirkland Laing]

This guy will make Khan look like Sugar Ray Leonard. Admittedly I'm only going on the Morales fight but I couldn't believe how bad he was. If Morales had shown up in shape he would have won.

Eh, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This should be a good fight Saturday, like I said in the OP, there's a lot a stake.

After the Morales fight, Garcia was acting like he'd beaten Manny Pacquiao and not a beyond shot version of Morales, it was sickening.

The action starts Saturday night on HBO @10:00 PM ET or about 2:00 AM in the UK, for some of you Brit night owls.

I'm looking forward to this fight, i'm not a Khan fan, but he got a raw deal against "Cheater" Peterson, plus I don't care much for Garcia. So I hope Khan takes care of business.

[superheavyrhun]

The challenge on a personal level will be whether or not I choose to stay up, get up in the middle of the night or just wait for the re-runs in the morning.

Let's stick this one up too.

[rjj tszyu]

I see Khans speed being way too much and the fight ending around about the 7th.
