Ya, that was my guess.

Why does khan hang his chin out like that when it's been vulnerable in the past and this guy can clearly bang, quite astonishing it really is. Oh well bet on both guys to win by KO.

Possibly irrelevent but could Oscar look a little less thrilled? That smile was stitched on...

If he blames the ref it'll be a bit odd because he could easily have been stopped at the end of the previous round. Yes I think perhaps he shouldn't have been stopped when he stopped it but when he waved him to carry on at the end of the previous round I was like 'what is happening here' because Khan was absolutely all over the place.

he was far too amped up. could have outboxed him but wanted a shootout

The ref did Khan a huge favour in the 3rd and at the start of the 4th that's for sure,

will prob still blame him though

Agreed, couldn't disagree with the stoppage for original knock down but actual stoppage was a bit soft -Bayliss is a good ref and I gues he just thought there was nothing left so fair enough.

...well done to all those who said the ref!

i am not sure if the ref would have let him go in the end of the 3. rd if he wasn't a big name .

he was allready done&gone in my opinion .

It has just be proved Amir Khan is not the fighter he thinks he is along with many deluded fans, hopefully he learns to curb his mouth and realise he isn’t all that.

Where does this “superstar “ of the fight game go now?

He fought like an idiot and deserved to lose.

He's chinny but for some reason he thinks he can swing wide punches against a fighter with a good chin.

He blew it.

it wasnt the ref he gave amir plenty of chances to get his head clear but he tried to box it out like he did against presscot... it was just the million dollar lucky punch... .. imho Garcia is not a great fighter and there will be a lot of boxers chewing at the bit to get into the ring with him.....

ouch.

his technique on that first knockdown.

can't over commit like that. :>

especially in with world class fighters.

just started a flurry from way out and got bigtime clipped.

over from there really.

I'm not sure if it was a lucky punch. Garcia was throwing and landing counter left hooks even before the knockdown.

He dropped Morales with a very similiar punch.

No it wasn't, I knew it was coming, Amir could have won that but he fought dumb.

The commentators seemed to be talking down Garcia from the beginning, even though he seemed to be landing good shots throughout the whole fight.

Watt seems to have really lost his touch recently and his opinons don't seem as trustworthy as they used to be.

The guy is talking garbage! That wasnt a lucky punch at all because he's a counter puncher unlike Prescott and he timed Khan coming in. It was completely planned! I dont think Garcia is a really special fighter but he's better than Prescott for sure!

It wasn't a lucky punch man. Garcia was clearly looking to land a big counter on Khan's shaky chin, which was pretty much the only way he could win trying to box with Khan, and that's exactly what he did. I don't think he particularly scares anybody with his attributes but he is a very good fighter, and I don't think he's an easy out for anyone at 140. Would like to see him in with Matthysse or JMM next.

that so called lucky punch is actually a signature punch for garcia .

if you take that punch away from him what is left ?

the stupid think is , it was the only thing that could have changed the fate of this fight .

and amir couldn't avoid it .

like you said he had to go for a knockout as he was not a match for Khan.. Garcia was made to look slow and cumbersome and the one punch with his eyes closed which landed more in the neck area imho is one lucky punch... i think he rather fight Matthysse than JMM (so hard to unify the titles tho)... i think he could even go down to the likes of judah maidanna, rios...etc

As deeply, densely deluded Khan and his small but rabidly loyal fanbase are, he is a famous boxer, not an elite one. How many times must his brains be mangled before he and all of you accept this? When he's not fighting hasbeens and neverbeens he's an amateurish guy with no defence and a glass chin. Danny Garcia is the first young, well rounded, strong, competent guy he took on and he got whacked. AGAIN. He can comeback and win another paper title, but when he fights a live body he will be performing his patented jellyleg jive dance moves again. Give it up you fools!
