    Reading through the threads it seems I wasnt the only one who saw that Garcia was catching Khan consistently and figured if this went on Khan was gonna get hurt sooner or later.

    With all the experience on HBO's broadcast team nobody was pointing out that Khan was being caught consistently in the exchanges? Hell they even tried to say they didnt see the head butt Khan blatantly landed on Garcia.

    Basically making it out to be the white wash out it wasnt. Steward was lauding Khan for his offensive firepower yet ignores that Garcia was landing the over hand right behind Khans gloves all night simply bu feinting to his midsection which im starting to suspect fighters view as a major weakness for Khan. His body.

    Anyways, awful call of the fight, any one ofthe analysts couldve pointed out the trouble Khan was having.

    Oh and Bayless almost got Khan killed. When you have to ask a dude 5 times if hes ok before he stops shaking then its time to end the fight.

    Agree with everything said, i made a thread about Lampley riding Khan's dick, and yeah Bayless should've stopped the fight.

    hell yeah. wouldnt give Garcia credit for **** until he shattered glass.

    then they did the damage control switcharoo real quick when they saw Khan on Bambi legs.

    i hate Lampley.

    Bayless is a great ref. but he DISGRACEFULLY tried to save Khan and could have seriously got him hurt.

    I thought "Dani" won the 1st round.

    2nd round Amir got. "Dani" was just too inactive here.

    3rd was close until the punch that was the beginning to the end

    **** HBO, you're better off watching the fight on mute than listening to those idiots making up their own fantasy fight while ignoring what's happening in front of them.
    They do it with every big name fighter that they want to promote.

    Nope. Khan dominated Round 1 + Round 2. He dominated Round 3 until that lucky punch from Garcia caused him to slip so he got up and dominated some more. He was dominating Round 4 until those 2nd and 3rd slips and that early stoppage robbery from Bayless. HBO told me so.

    Seriously though I switched over to watching the Boxnation versions of these fights after Pacquiao/Marquez III. Their accents are kind of loud and annoying but at least they're fairly objective when it comes to calling these fights.

    I didn't see the HBO telecast but saw the UK one on youtube.....Jim Watt is as bad
    a homeboy supporter than Jim Lampley...but at least Lampley doesn't talk in
    Scot-ebonics so he can be comprehended more clearly.
