    Khan might be underestimating him, but thus far, Garcia hasn't really shown that he's any kind of pressure fighter a la Maidana or Peterson, he's more of a boxer-type, and that type of fighter favors Khan's style tremendously. Khan has the size advantage and is faster of hand and foot speed, so he can flurry and get out before taking return fire, and he doesn't have to worry about Garcia coming after him with pressure because if Garcia holds to what he's done so far, he'll try to outbox Khan. There's always a chance that he catches Khan's shaky chin with a big counter or that Garcia shows some hidden depths and puts good pressure on Khan, but I'd expect a pretty one-sided points win for Khan on this one.

    idk. Garcia is too damn squared up and doesnt move his head. hes also to hesitant about letting his hands go.

    he might end up being an easy target for Khan.

    he got the power to knock Khans wig off tho :yep

    I remember Go_Getta was doing the harlem shake for a couple of weeks after the Peterson loss. Hilarious ****.

    Garcia has no chance in this fight. He fights at Khan's pace, where Khan is at his best. Garcia is not a pressure fighter and he's slower and less skilled than Khan.

    This fight is a mismatch based on styles. Pressure fighters give Khan problems. Garcia will only give Khan a knockout victory.

    And then Peterson tested positive for roids, and by his own admission, started juicing up before the first Khan fight. . .

    We were then all justified. . Even though we already all knew Khan won the damn fight anyway :lol:

    Amir can't make the same mistake twice surely. Garcia isn't willing enough to throw

    *Khan.

    And yeah, he's always been vulnerable to looping punches that go round his guard.

    Khan is all hard work no medication. I like his work ethic and that's his advantage over Garcia. Khan really punished himself for this fight. Going by what I saw with Garcia he looked gassed in the later rounds against Morales.Amir's always in shape.
