PC: Khan started fast and hit you with some good shots. Did your confidence go up when you felt you could take his punches and be ok?

Danny : I knew he wasn't a big puncher. I said it all week because people were saying he hits hard & were asking how I was going to handle his power. I knew he had good speed but I knew I hit harder than him. I knew when I started landing shots,he wasn't going to be able to take them because he was using a lot of speed and that takes a lot of energy man. I can be that fast too, but I close my hands when I punch. A lot of people when they are fast like that when they let their hands go they leave them open. I knew that a big punch was gonna land.

PC: You throw that look-away left hook a lot. When it landed he went down, did you think the fight would be over because he went down hard?

Danny: I thought it was over because of the way he fell back. I hit him with a punch and he hit his head. But the left hook. I actually stood in the pocket and the way I throw my left hook, I turn my whole body with it. I saw him. I hit him with a little left hook and I can't of backed him off and he threw an uppercut from far out and that's when I just sat down.I turned my whole body. It looks like I'm turning away but I'm really not. I really know he's there, I'm just putting all of my power and force into it and that's why I lean all the way to the side like that.

DC: Were you surprised at how brave he got once he hit the canvas, because I thought for sure once he got hurt he would hold for a few rounds?

Danny: It surprised me because usually when he gets hurt, he starts running and makes you chase him, but I guess he really wanted to knock me out.He wanted to show the world and he wanted to knoock me out....

From the hype place of fights.

Shut up Danny. You got lucky. Danny was just overwhelmed by Khans speed so he was going for broke. To say that is the gameplan is hilarious.

Max said it during the fight. At the end of that 2nd round Garcia looked overwhelmed and did attempt to touch gloves at the end almost as if he was giving up.
