I wasn't a big Danny fan but just saw the fight and he impressed me with his boxing and selection of punches. The way he attacked the body those were some good thudding punches. The knock out was a perfect punch it wasn't wide and slow but very short and crisp. I want to see a khan rematch to see how he does cuz I feel that the lucky punch saved him that night. Thought?
Shit, I should not have read this, havnt seen the fight yet!
Anyone know where i can "download" it?
Cheers, Xweetie
Wouldn't say Garcia was lucky against Khan, he landed good shots and finished the fight when had to, he did what he promised he would do.
Khan might last longer next time but I still think Garcia would win. Garcia is on a high now, Khan is rebuilding. If Khan had made the right offer he would have got the rematch straight away, instead he needs to come back slowly and against a lightweight. That in itself shows a weakness. He has never shown a burning desire to get revenge with anyone, even with Peterson he tried his hardest to get the decision overturned rather than face him again, he wasn't left with much choice in the end but I bet he was so happy when Peterson failed his drugs test.
I'm surprised Khan hasn't been able to get this comeback fight made for a vacant title so he can claim to be the best straight away if he was to win.
Morales has a lot of miles on the clock and is well past his best but he could give other fighters problems. He looked like an old man, remember he is fighting well out of his natural weight class. But yes I think Garcia was pretty impressive, if he keeps improving and doesn't let the fame ruin him he can go far.
Morales has more than a lot of miles. Morales is shot. He's had a great career, but he's done. He should do himself a favor and hang up the gloves before he gets seriously hurt. All credit in the world to Garcia. He looked sharp last night.
i just felt like khan was giving him a whoopin but he got caught and never was able to recover i felt that was the only reason he started hitting him with the good shots. but before that he was barely getting to khan.Quote:

He's on a major stride and I think he dusts Khan again.
Garcia did look impressive but he was fighting a very old Morales who probably took drugs to make weight which shows that he was not in the best condition to begin with. If Khan fought Morales he would have got severely criticised. Garcia did the job but Khan was beating him easily and may have stopped him mid way in their fight. Garcia has power and puts his punches nicely, throwing body shots so that he can get to the chin and he may become a better champion now with the extra confidence.
You weren't a big fan of Danny but THIS fight impressed you? ... lol. The Khan fight was 10 times more impressive he beat a chubby muffin old Morales tonight.Quote:

Early on Morales tried his patented right hand feint then tried to come in on Garcia and ate about 3 punches. That was a clear indicator that Garcia was wise to Morale's wily tricks this time.
A bit like Morales vs. Pacqauio III.
Ya he looked way better then in the khan fight. Khan was beating him until that hook and in this fight he actually studied his opponent and was looking where he threw his punches. For example look at the left hook that he landed on khan and the hook he landed on morales. He didn't look down and throws random punch that knocked out morales it was a very well picked shot.Quote:

If Garcia had edged his way back into the fight and stopped him late we'd all be saying what a great performance it was. He just happened to chin him in four.
I didn't see any point in this rematch at all but wasn't it Morales who acted on his rematch claus? Had Garcia balked even after the shady nature of 'we'll keep testing until we get the result we want" gate...I think they would have stripped him in a flash. Alot of people throw in that about guys winning a fight until they got ktfo...well yeh, so what good did it do you. It just always kills me, like Khans chin failing was a total fluke or accident ;DQuote:

He was catching morales, but the knockout shot was just a matter of him throwing with Morales. it looked great. Morales was finding him too easy in the first fight and I think he he still landed some shots that shouldn't have been landing in the rematch. A those shots from a harder puncher or craftier guy could spell trouble. Call it a combo of the depth at the weight class and the the fact that the impressive wins he has so far were more a combination of time and the other guy's mental and physical lapses.. but i dont look at garcia and consider him a safe bet against the more talented guys of the division of the guys in and around the weight. He tries to outhustle the older guys and out punch the youngers guys. He happened to come up big with morales (old/bloated) and khan(chinny) the past few times out and he threw with them. Maybe they'll match him up with Mathysse next time out... a guy that can take his shots and fire back. just my opinion of course
Khan should never rematch Garcia..EVER
I don't care when Danny knocks him out or how he knocks him out..he just does it eventually. Garcia has the patience and timing to not be flustered by "losing a fight on points". Let's be honest, he's never going to beat a fighter like Khan on points but he will still beat Khan 9 out of 10 times anyway because Garcia will ice him at some point in the match.
I like that about the guy. He stays cool and composed under the pressure where most fighters get reckless after losing 2 or 3 rounds. Two identical left hook knockouts in back to back matches? I think that's a little more than a "fluke"
I agree with you about Khan. Right now Garcia is running over with confidence, and is going to be hard to beat .Quote:

Morales was only slightly better than a punching bag, unable to get away, unable to defend himself, and unable to offer any offence. I've always liked Morales--nothing to dislike--so I hope he forgets that last fight in Mexico.
Getting old is the ultimate slap in the face, a real hard pill to swallow.
Danny Garcia showed his mettle in the Khan fight but never should have taken this rematch because Morales not only was he not in shape but through. He could have been hurt seriously. He has done everything to get into the hall of fame but endangering his health and coming in overweight just made Garcia's job too easy and it was a fight that Garcia at this point in time does not need. He has a career to build and he should have taken on someone else in the top ten elevating his stature should he have won and improve any weaknesses he may have possessed through new found experience elevating his worth as a fighter. All in all he looked good but Morales was a punching bag as someone's reply illustrated earlier. Garcia is looking good but he has to keep his eye on the prize and understand that if you blow an opportunity and fight an easy fight, time forgives no one especially when you waste what little nature gives us.
