    That's not how the judges saw it. Rounds prior to that left hook landing were all 10 - 9 to Khan. In other words, Garcia was being outboxed

    this is further proof khan can get back up from being seriously hurt and going on to get the W..

    this is something his ex training and sparring partner has proved multiple times he is completely unable to do. khan (supposd glass) had come back from kd's to go on to win while pac (supposed iron chin) when kd in fights he has NEVER come back or gone on to win.

    That's not the point. Garcia was timing Khan.

    Yet despite Danny timing him , Khan was still winning all the rounds until he got clipped by that left .

    Still Nobody has outboxed Khan .....so far

    Khan's Ring IQ is poor. He won't beat Floyd.

    he was 'timing' him because he couldnt get near him he had to try and guess when khan was throwing and throw with him, take a shot even to get off himself

    Ring IQ can go up, Maidana didn't have a high ring IQ and he nearly won the first fight.

    I think Khan is a harder fight then the Manny fight.

    Khan is faster and longer than Floyd. Floyd doesn't hit hard enough to hurt Khan.

    Manny doesn't hit hard enough to hurt Floyd.:deal

    Khan isn't longer. Floyd has the longer reach.

    Fights are 12 rounds, not 3 and a 1/2 rounds. And Garcias bread and butter punch is his left hook, so to say that he closed his eyes and hoped for the hook to land tells us how much you love Khan AND how you'll lie to make a point!:lol: And Garcia's body punching brought Khans hand down.
