Does anybody else think that was stupid goading Garcia to twat him on the jaw after he had already been knocked down twice and then going on the offensive when he hadn't recovered surely he should have covered up for two rounds until he had fully recovered then take it from there.
of course it was fricking stupid, Did Khan think he was Julian Jackson, able to clip a wild Garcia and put him out? Khan DOES not have the chin OR power to fight like that, at all
I lol'd when i saw that. Was just thinking, mate he's just knocked you down twice and you dont look in the greatest shape here, you should probably not be calling him onto you...
he could have at least done it properly like Mayorga [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-BFScdlnvQ[/ame]
That's Khan's way of saying: I have no idea how to survive, so I may as well go down swinging and hope for the best
One of the funniest things I've seen in a while. He was being chased around the ring on jelly legs eating punch after punch, so what does he do . . . taunts Garcia to hit him on the chin and eats two huge flush right hands, one of which caused an instant big bloody bulge across his nose/eyebrow. You could see this KO coming from the first round. It was clear Khan was fighting exactly how he's always fought - trying to overwhelm his opponents with fast flurries and not paying any thought to what might come back. Garcia's timing seemed to be great straight from the off, and he was not worried by Khan's power, so he was able to throw big shots once Khan opened up and would either catch him or whistle past his face. It was just a matter of time until one that Khan didn't see found the sweet spot. I was impressed by Garcia, and he seemed to have Khan figured out even before the fight when he said that if Khan comes out and opens up the he'll stop him in three rounds. Almost a perfect prediction. Timing beats speed, and unfortunately for Amir speed is almost all he has.
I still don't understand how in the fourth round he was getting tagged by those wind up punches. Garcia was telegraphing them so easily.
Khan seems to think he's a Julian Jackson, talking & acting like he was a bonifide puncher, when he clearly aint.
