    He's up there for me.

    Outside the ring he says the most idiotic stuff. Talks about mayweather BEFORE his fights with pederson and garcia.

    Inside the ring, he knows he has no inside game, no defence and no chin. But he has decent skills on the outside, fast hands and feet and great accuracy.... Yet this CLOWN fights garcia toe to toe, instead of doing what clearly worked early, using his superior speed and skill. Then when he IS hurt, he goes into even more of a war. Prescott must have permanently damaged some brain cells coz watching him fight is ****ing puzzling.

    It was a disaster, worst performance by a brit on a big stage since Hatton was blown away by Pacquiao.

    Exactly. He fought looking for the KO and he had no regard for Garcia's counters(which the HBO buffoons overlooked during the circle jerk). Not having a chin is one thing... But you have use a game plan to protect it.. Wtf was he doing?

    Hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes, and focuse on the task at hand.

    When he was hurt, he took some MONSTER shots without going down. His chin is manageable if he fought to his strengths and protected his weaknesses. What a complete bell end khan is though.

    Even round 1 when he apparently raped garcia, the fact he kept getting caught made me think it'll be a short night for him. Zero defence. So don't go into ****ing toe to toe wars ESPECIALLY when you're hurt???

    He wasn't as dump as you think. Garcia threw some shots to the body in the first and second round which set up everything else.
    I know normally he's dump but in this case he was made to fight this way.He couldn't rush in the way he normally does because Garcia's shots to the jaw would have caught him.Khan's basically overrated,he's just a name with no substance.

    He should watch takes on a young DLH and learn how to preserve his energy and not be so desperate he was doing well the first 2 rounds.

    He's always determinded to prove someone wrong, and lets that become his preoccupation even when he's in trouble he's trying to prove he can handle a punch. When the bell sounded he was trying to go for the KO. Never paced himself and allowed himself to be put in a false sense of security.

    Not to mention underestimating garcia's power.

    Khan is dumb as ****. This moron is trained part time by Roach who has so many other fighters to train. He trains in 3 continents. His strength and conditioning trainer focuses on body building instead of road work. Khan is tweeting pics of himself flaunting cash at clubs. He looked slower and tired. Khan neglected the fact that Garcia was studying and trying to time him. Khan was all offense after 2 rounds.He is done!
