    While I was watching this exciting fight last weekend I was thinking about Hearns v.s. Hagler. These two wars were similar. A lot of actions and excitement, and all those guys did in the ring was just about trying to KO each other.

    because he was trying to boost his marketability by fighting like a brawler.

    He fought someone with superior timing, kept getting counter punched and then knocked out. Pretty simple really.

    I don't think that Gracia is better than Khan in any dimension but his chin. He has no defense and he's easily hit.

    He made the mistake of being an overrated fighter with a weak chin.

    simple he fought when he should have boxed. Why, he opened his big mouth at a press conference and tried to back up his words. If Khan gets back to doing what he had been doing before he will be fine, but the trick that Freddie taught Khan and Pacquioa no longer works. It's time to learn a new trick Freddie that forward moving advantage has ran its course.

    didn't box enough. use his height size and reach and utilize that jab. i think he thought he was hitting garcia a little too easy in the first two rounds and got greedy.
