By Gibran Samad: All boxing fans know that 2012 was a great year for boxing with many action packed fights and many upset KO’s, one of them being Danny Garcia’s 4th round TKO win over Amir Khan. Amir had a good start for the first couple of rounds, catching Danny with a few blistering combinations and cutting him with the right hand. Amir was using his blazing speed and flurry of punches to get to Danny. He had his speed that night, but not his head movement.
In round 3, Khan was throwing his flash flurry of shots when Garcia threw his dynamite left,catching Khan cold in an exchange. With Amir’s arms flying, he hit the canvass and made it back up. He was clearly still hurt and was saved by the bell. Round 4 came and Garcia was on the hunt, he then dropped Amir about 2 times before referee Kenny Bayless called a stop to the fight. After that night, Danny has been on a roll with 2 KO victories over the legendary Mexican Erik Morales.
By Gibran Samad: Current WBO, The Ring, and WBC Diamond Super Bantamweight Champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire has had a magnificent 2012, fighting 4 times last year and defeating all of his opponents with 2 wins by KO and 2 by decision. Not to mention his random 24/7 PED testing that he has been open too, with all tests coming back negative.
By Gibran Samad: WBA middleweight champion Gennaady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) first burst on the scene in America last year and made his HBO debut against Grzegorz Proska. He stalked and unleashed massive blows to Proska, knocking him down 5 times before finally defeating him by TKO in the 5th round.
