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.

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

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.

Great article here on Khan.

Khan to stop Garcia on cuts in rd 8 or 9.

[Rantcatrat]

The more I ponder it, the more I lean toward Khan stopping Garcia tonight. Whether it's cuts like @RobertoDuranlegend said, or just bombs him out sometime in the middle-late rounds, I believe it'll happen at some point.

5 Live are advertising their commentary starting around 4am, so I'd say 4.15-30 for the first bell.

That's the bollocky thing about fights happening in America. I'm gonna record it or watch the repeat at a less ungodly hour.

The "live" card tonight is advertized to begin @11:00-12:30 PM ET, which means it starts after 3:00 AM in the UK no? (4 hours later) I'm thinking that the only fight that HBO will air (because of the late hour and time frame) will be Khan vs. Garcia, 15 or 20 minutes after 11:00 PM ET or 3:00 AM in the UK. So if my calculations are correct about fight time in the UK, the fight could be over by 4:00 AM.

Just watching the preview on Boxing Guru UK...Freddie left to train Mickey Rourke, but, before that, he was right down the road from LA, at a gym in La Habra. That has been a pretty solid gym for some time, producing some decent pro. Among them, if memory serves, were Rocky Garcia and Joe Ruelas.
Back in the day, Roach used to work with whoever walked through the door. I know a couple convicts from that area that he worked with.
