    This is a fight I love watching. No matter how many times I watch it. So explosive, qucik paced, exciting. 4 rounds (but really 3) of just back to back action. Intense, lots of feints, movement, counters, weaving, quick footwork, upper body rythem movement, feinting down to the breath . Really a show for the fans. So much more action than the bullshitt of fighters humping over and over agian. Also a great display of a how you cna take advantage of a fighter's weaknesses by Garcia, punishing Khan for overextending rights, stepping over to the left, changing headslots, timing powershots on the way in.

    Initially I thought it was a good call. Three knockdowns made sense and maybe I was feeling the sensationalism from that initial first hook.

    But his legs were MUCH better from the first knockdown where he had ZERO control. He also had some great moments with right hands.

    Meh, I'd have loved to have seen Khan take Swift to school (as I feel he did to Peterson at points) but best man won and, safety first, Khan lives to fight another day. Ref done OK.

    Khan would be braindead right now if Weeks didn't stop it. :lol:

    Perfect stoppage. He was knocked down 3 times and had fking jelly legs. :deal

    Khan was knocked down by a fking punch to the top of the head. He was done like dinner.

    khan looked like he was standing on the deck of a ship at sea...he was not fit to continue.

    he has a life after boxing.

    Sure, but Marquez wasn't jelly legged and wasn't knocked down by a fking light punch on the forehead.

    The dude had glazed eyes after the 1st knockdown. :lol:

    The dude was fking done.

    he seemed more out of it with the first punch he looked like he was recovering the final punch that put him down was nothing though

    Exactly. The dude had no fking legs left. :lol:

    If you looked at Khan's face after the 3rd knockdown, he looked like he didn't know where the fuk he was. :deal

    He was fking finished.
