And that's one thing that makes his fights interesting. He has good power, so he can end a fight on his end as well, but if he gets his bell rung, it's on! He has no clue on how to hold on at that point, so he tries to fight his way out.

where does khan go now, a fight with kell brook would be good but brook showed that he's flawed last week too and although he won he nearly got knocked out, and would brook want to fight khan knowing if he loses he probably won't get a big money fight in the states, freddie roach might let khan go now because he's not the fighter he hoped he would be and just concentrate on manny getting his titles back that he was robbed of.
Dont get me wrong im not saying he has a good chin. But its not glass. You dont go 12 with Maidana if your chin is made of glass. Or take the shots he did in this Garcia fight without being knocked spark out cold. I dont know he took that shot 55secs into round 4, thats not a china chin. It would just be nice if credit could go to Garcia, most fighters would have been stopped tonight if they took these shots
garcia is good but not quick and if he faces someone with a good defence he could struggle and he has shown that in the past but he does win and he can punch.
they were talking about khan moving up in weight but surely if he's getting put on his ass at this weight then moving up with the extra power these guys hit with might be a mistake.
Garcia's the real deal, no doubt about that. Deserves a lot of credit. He looked so-o-o slow against Khan, though. And he did get tagged early by right hands. So his chin seems ok. Khan has good speed and skills. But any fighter he faces with decent power is going to have a better than average chance of catching Khan with something, and... given Khan's inability to survive when in trouble, that "something" could very well end the fight.
I swear whenever I decide to pick the favorite in a fight they LOSE !
I'm 0-2 today after picking Chisora and Khan...
In Khan's defense he did show tremendous heart to come back fighting from the wallop of a hook he took. Just never fully recovered.
Good for Garcia.
Kept his poise and sustained quite an early onslaught from the lighting quick Khan.
I agree to an extent, but I think more times that not, fighters with a punch will get to him at some stage. Coming forward I think he is awesome!! His speed is incredible. If he had a great chin, I think he would've become one of the greatest British fighters of all time!! He has never been outboxed to a 12 round defeat! (Peterson did not beat him!) - only ever beaten by his punch resistance.
And that's the thing he got enough speed that he shouldn't be getting tagged by these dudes prescot, maidana, garcia all so much slower than him...he's so much quicker than them that its like wtf how they even tagging you. Khan should take a page out of wladys book become cautious, develop a superb jab, learn how to control distance really well, become boring in many peoples eyes but fuck it what he's doing now is obviously not working. I hope he can actually emulate wlad's career trajectory
I think Khan has two fight options now:
Mckloskey or Prescott.
He needs to realise a style that suits his skills. He needs to stop trying to be Manny and needs to try emulate a style that would suit him, probably a style like Floyd.
I guess this proves washed up Morales >> Prime Khan
