Had been booked in for mid July.
Great match up, WBC title on the line and potentially Khan's other 2 titles if he gets them back from Peterson.

Will be a good fight for both of them, its so mad how Khan could potentially have his titles back so this will be for three of the 140 belts. I didnt not picture this happening at all, I think at 140 Garcia is a good name to have on his record if he can beat him. I am favouring Khan on experience, but I think Garcia will give it a good go. Khan will has been training very hard for the Peterson rematch so this extra preparation will set him up nicely for this fight. I am looking forward to it.
I feel bad for Ajose Olusegun...guy can't catch a break.
On Khan-Garcia...I think Amir will outclass Garcia. Too much speed.
Khan to win via tko in round 1 or 2. Garcia is no different from dimitri Salita
Agreed on the Ajose front, he has waited forever for a shot and I reckon he would beat Garcia. If khan wins I don't see him wanting to stick around defending his belts against Ajose either, I think he will move up. I wonder when Ajose will actually get a shot at a belt?Quote:

Garcia has some decent names on his record, not all world beaters, but he won't be a push over
Garcia struggled to beat geriatric featherweight Erik Morales. Khan beats him easily, Garcia is too one-paced.

I was far from impressed with Garcias display vs a washed up Morales. Khan will beat him with speed.
Khan should handle Garcia. His weakness will always be the 'physical' fighters and Garcia is not one.
This definitely shows that Khan is willing to fight the best and take on all decent challengers.
this shows that golden boy is happy to get their champions out of tough match ups and eager to put them in with opposition that they know will get steam rolled.
I agree. This is shocking stuff from Team Khan/Golden Boy... being matched with the WBC champion and 4th ranked Ring lightwelter a few weeks after the no.2 guy was exposed as a drugs cheat?Quote:

I thought the same. It's a shame the guy has an unbeaten record too. Can't be that good if no one has beaten him yet.Quote:

I also thought that he didn't do too bad against Morales considering the stature of the guy he was fighting (past his best or not) for a guy with so few fights.
