I meant if Khan fought him straight away, Khan needs to settle with his new trainer and learn his densive skills and regain some confidence. Then he can come back and beat Garcia.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yes Bailey really really limits himself with his damn tunnel vision on the right hand KO. He has a very good left hook and can box much better than he has been showing his last two fights.
However, at 38 and always being pretty one dimensional, this is as good as it gets it seems. He probably figures if he threw more punches he wouldn't have the energy for the late KO or to fend off his opponent.
Ugly fight, coulda ended worse for Bailey. Still a fan.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
He went out in his shield, finished like the warrior he is. It was a monster of a hook and no shame in being stopped by that. Even Khan comes out looking a smidge better after a tree feller like that. The lad can punch a bit. Well done Garcia. Someone will outbox him though.
Alexander / Bailey will be unlikely to make fight of the year and even Devon's ability to hug his way to a victory seemed diminished, maybe because of his limited opponent. Brook could handle the challenge comfortably if the IBF make Kell Alexander's mandatory. Quillin Ndam was chalk and cheese compared to the opener and was wildly entertaining. 8 knock downs with an opponent still in it come the final round is not to be sniffed at. Is Ndam unknockoutable ? Or has kid chocolate got a lower cocoa content than we thought? Less powder on his cappuccino. Great to see Tyson in Brooklyn and his words seemed to ignite the powder keg below Peter Quillin.

I think Quillan could have got him out of there but Bunce was dead right, he was unsure of his tank fighting at that clip.

I saw it the other way mate. I thought any success N'Dam had was because Quillan allowed it. Quillan handed him at least 3 rounds on a silver plater. I thought he fought smart.
I liked him.

I give credit to N'Dam because he said he wanted to make a name for himself in the States and IMO he did that. He fought hard... survived multiple knockdowns... and won himself some rounds. Not bad for a fighter from a country not exactly known for its professional boxing prowess. On the other side, Quillin showed a lot of poise... even when his hand speed looked significantly less than N'Dam's. He showed some good power and ring generalship. I thought maybe he could've ended the fight earlier had he pressed the action after some of those KD's.
@Hulk - Bailey is likable Pug, but he's frustrating to watch, because he doesn't let his hands go, and almost totally relies on connecting with a big right hand.
