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.

I think its a bit harsh on Garcia to suggest he got lucky against Khan or snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Khan dominated for two and a bit rounds then got twatted. 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 guess i'll be the only one to say, i wasn't all that impressed by garcia. He did what he was supposed to do against morales. 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
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

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 .
Morales is finished, experts say fighters can get old over night, and I think he got old in the first Garcia fight and the second fight just confirmed it.
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.
