He won every round and opened a cut that was close to ending the fight. Fair play to Garcia for digging deep but again in a rematch Khan is a strong fav.
The ref was shocking, Khan should have been deducted points far earlier. Khan couldn't do a darn thing without two hand shoving Peterson first. Khan simply can't fight for shit on the inside. His only recourse is to hold or push. Both are illegal. Every minute of that fight where Khan wasn't cheating Peterson was battering him. I was rooting for Khan but ashamed with all the fouling he was allowed to get away with keeping him in the fight. Of course after these last few years I will never root for Khan again because he thinks he is something he is not. He is not a fighter. A fighter pursues challenges and titles and in that paydays. Khan is another Haye milking the UK fans while doing nothing real.

And Garcia knocked him out. It was inevitable. Their entire plan was to time him. That's what you do to a faster guy, you punch with them. Because if you punch after they are gone. Of course you get hit doing this but they were prepared for that. The gameplan was executed beautifully(I hate that you are making me compliment Garcia) Khan was sparked right as he should have been. Most boxing fans can watch that fight and recognize the KO was inevitable from the action and that the points were irrelevant. It's a little sad to try to steal credit with "he won rounds" ignoring what was actually happening in the fight. It's like saying it's okay you shit your pants because you were on the way to the bathroom.
