Khan did not dominate the first 2 rounds. they were very competitive rounds- PROOF

For me,Victor's best strength is closing distance,which translates into a serious headache for Amir.
He wouldn't push the tree away.:nono

 

I'd favor the tree to knock Amir out only slightly less than I'd favor Manos de Piedra to.

 

i had khan winning the 1st rd and a closer 2nd rd. but danny landed his counters and leads in every round. khan just came out fast and tried to pressure him or bully him.but garcia was right there with him. people act like those 2rds were 10-8 rds for khan. garcia was right there with him just one step behind him until he timed the counter correctly.

 

Repeating something ad nauseum doesn't make it true. A lot of retrospective revising of what actually happened in the fight. People so shocked by this freak result they have devise a way they can claim 'I told you so'
If everything was a ok, and going according to plan why was Garcia's father panicking??
" you're getting picked apart"

That fight was only going one way, Danny snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by landing a debatable illegal blow on Amir's neck. Amir wins a rematch all day every day.

 

you have a way with putting words into peoples mouth i see. i said khan won the 1st rd and he won a even closer 2nd rd. i did not expect danny to win the 1st 4rds, in fact i dont expect any fighter to win the 1st 4 rds against khan.you have a fighter that starts fast and a fighter that starts slow, rd 2 danny was better then rd 1 danny. you could see danny getting better each rd.and again the fight was over and 3, you happy khan picked danny apart for 1rd ? good fighters can do it all night or atleast half the fight. 1 or 2 rds aint **** to be bragging about.khan had 1 good rd in the 1st and he won a closer 2 rd. i never got the feeling khan was puling away in the fight garcia was landing clean since the 1st rd just not as much.

 

Still haven't watched the fight yet, but if this is true the ESPN reports must be biased too (wouldn't surprise me; they are of the same ilk as the HBO dudes). Reading Dan Rafael's and the other guy's fight recaps I got the impression that Khan was dominating from start up until he was knocked down the 1s time.

Boxing media is full of personalities who are there simply because they have become "authorities" in their respective positions. Most of them are biased much of the time, and the work they do has little semblance to factual reporting. Dan Rafael is just the WORST.

 

Well, if anything it gave people an opportunity to see the fight, which works for me, as it's a good one, competitive, YES. I agree with your analysis, chin-checked, but I don't think it's china, Garcia's a very solid puncher, some of those over-hand rights hit with the same enthusiasm, just Khan wasn't stooping into them.

I didn't get to watch it live as I had to work, when I came home from work, I lost interest to watch it because I had already found out how the details of the fight but was hearing that Khan dominated the first 2 rounds. I finally decided to watch it last night and no way he dominated, he won those rounds but I didn't see any domination at all. Also I was hearing that it was a lucky punch. I didn't see it that way. He was looking, threw a punch and at the same time ducked to avoid. The thing was, when he threw that punch he knew where the target was. Many boxers do this. No, it wasn't a lucky punch.

 

my contribution to your thread

When I first watched the fight I thought Amir was doing fairly well. Then when I rewatched it he won no rounds. His sloppy and inaccurate defense was being picked off by Dani.

 

I thought those rounds went to Khan, but on workrate. Garcia wasn't cleanly landing much, but when he did they looked good and when he hit Khan's guard it looked like some stuff Khan needed to worry about. He was setting up counters, letting Khan get off a few shots to throw 1 or 2 counters. He was getting backed up and outlanded though. So they were very competitive rounds but imo they definitely went to Khan.

You could def see a forshadowing of the destruction to come though. Then in round 3 Danny stopped backing up and stood his ground. By backing up he caused Khan to follow his own combinations straight toward Danny. So when Danny stood his ground, Khan moved right into that mid-range where the hook or overhand could land hard. Great fight, great strategy.

 

You must have rewatched a different fight by mistake, check again.:good

 

On second or third watch it becomes clear how desperate Amir was.I'm all for giving Garcia credit for this mate but Khan was in desperate trouble and the fact Garcia could throw such wild hooks only illustrates how much trouble Khan was in.Garcia was actually able to position Khan's head in place with his lead hand
You're spot on about having no respect for Khan's power as well.He started walking through punches with no fear of getting hurt.
And they talk about Khan going up to 147.atsch
And is Trakam King/Queen Khan in disguise?:think
