Nice how Oscar cut right in front of Roach right before the face off to block him out/get in the picture.
I hope not, that fight was a farce. I want an entertaining fight not a one round TKO. If it has to end early i would rather it be a brutal KO.
as the fight gets closer i feel this should be cool for amir. The maidana, zab and peterson matches were harder on paper.
I wouldn't mind, there's good odds on khan by ko, just not convinced it will happen.. khan's likely to stay on the outside and box and move and Garcia's unproven really so it could still be a ko/tko from khan hmm.....

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but there was a documentary on Sky and it showed Khan sparring (with Chavez I think?) and he was pushing him off A LOT. Every time he got close, Khan was pushing him away to get some space. Exactly as in the Peterson fight. I wonder if the ref will be looking out for this tonight. Khan could get a rep for this and needs to be careful...he can't afford to give points away, but it doesn't seem like he's learnt from the Peterson fight. Something to watch out for.
JENNA: OK, Well I have a few more questions for you, while you’re on the line. Seeing as I’m talking about that fight a little bit - Amir Khan, Danny Garcia – you’ll be calling it, how do you see it going? STEWARD: There are so many advantages for Amir Khan to begin with, as he’s the bigger guy, much bigger, extensive amateur career, internationally, even though Garcia had an amateur career here, in the United States. Activity level, that’s still another Amir Khan factor, and the speed and energy and intensity, I’d still have to give that to Amir. But what Garcia has to do, because I feel he’s insufficient in most of the area’s, but that can all be neutralized, because it’s the same situation I think when he lost his title. So Garcia just got to put on a lot of pressure, he can’t just sit back and let Amir dictate the pace. He’s got to set a pace very much like Lamont Peterson and create a lot of uncomfortableness, because Amir likes to punch a lot, and get way, like getting his amateur points. I think he will be too fast, and fight to high spirt of a fight for Garcia to compete with him. JENNA: Amir has actually been talking about moving up to 147 (lbs) if he does win this fight. The name Floyd Mayweather Jr has been coming out of his mouth a little bit, do you think that’s a natural fight for Amir if he does win this next match? STEWARD: I think it’s definitely it is a natural match, I think that Amir likes to toot his own horn, and promote himself very well, just like Floyd, which is good. I think that could be a very big possibility, we may see that fight.
