Khan: I’ll move up to 147 after I beat Danny Garcia

by

khan45By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) says he’ll be moving up to welterweight immediately after he avenges his loss to WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia in last 2013. Khan wants to capture Garcia’s two titles, prove that his loss to him was a fluke thing, and then look for more titles at welterweight.

Khan said on Sky Ringside “Maybe by the end of the year [2013] that fight [Danny Garcia] can happen. I’m not going to leave the light welterweight until I fight Garcia again and get my title back, [and] then I think it’ll be the right time to move up. At the moment, I make the 140 pound division quite easily. So Virgil [Hunter] is still advising me to stay at this weight.“

Judah vs. Garcia: Zab looking to capture Danny’s WBA/WBC 140 pound titles on February 9th in Brooklyn

judah4345By Dan Ambrose: 35-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) gets a shot at WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Judah used to be one of the best fighters in the world a decade ago, but he’s really slipped and is now a former champion that is pretty much only being given a shot at title against Garcia because he’s well known to casual boxing fans and because he’s not considered really dangerous at this point in his career.

Khan already looking past his next fight; wants rematch with Garcia

khan34By Scott Gilfoid: As fast and as talented as Amir Khan, he has a bad habit of looking too far off into the future for titles he wants to capture and fighters he wants to take on. Khan is now talking about how he plans on fighting a rematch with his former conqueror WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia AFTER Khan defeats his next opponent in April for a world title.
Khan is assuming he’s going to beat one of the 140 pound champions in April, and then face Garcia in a unification bout after that.

Khan said to the BBC Sport “The next fight is going to be around April time…looking at being in the 140 lb division for world title, and then unifying it with Garcia.”

Khan said to Sky Sports News “In April I’m looking at being in a fight in the 140 pound division for a world title, and then unifying it with the Garcia fight, if he gets through his fight with Zab Judah.”

Danny Garcia: Khan doesn’t look like he’s changed his fighting style at all

By William Mackay: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia saw Amir Khan’s win last Saturday night over the smaller lightweight Carlos Molina, and Garcia says Khan looks pretty much the same as he always has in his past fights. Garcia noted that Khan is still getting hit a lot despite having a new trainer in Virgil Hunter, who Khan maintains has improved him dramatically on defense.

Garcia said to Radio Raheem “He [Khan] did what he had to do. I guess the smaller guy [Molina] can’t punch. To be honest, I saw the same Amir Khan. He was getting hit a lot with punches, but the guy couldn’t hurt him because he was a smaller guy with no power.”

Danny Garcia doubts Khan would give him a rematch if he won their previous fight

khan222By William Mackay: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) doesn’t think Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) would be giving him a rematch if Khan had beaten him last July instead of the other way around. Garcia thinks Khan doesn’t give guys rematches after he beats them, even when it’s a fight where boxing fans really want to see the rematch like in Khan’s in over Marcos Maidana.

Khan called Garcia out last Saturday night after Khan’s 10th round knockout win over Carlos Molina at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.

Garcia predicting early knockout of Zab Judah

By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia sees himself making quick work of 35-year-old former two division world champion Zab Judah when they meet up on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Garcia said to Radio Raheem “I’m going to knock Judah out in 4.”

Did Garcia really beat Khan

by

khan5634A great deal has been said and written about Danny Garcia beating Amir Khan. Some fans and writers believe Khan got exposed while others marvel at Garcia’s punching power. A cold analysis of that fight will reveal the following: Garcia didn’t beat Khan. Khan beat himself. Garcia was throwing that left hook of his during the first 3 rounds and wildly missing with it.

Khan was beating him up and straight out classing him big time, busting up his nose and eyes but Khan got cocky, excited, though it was done and wanted to finish him in style to get a glorious knock out. He started to go in open like nothing could hit him and Garcia threw that hail mary, eyes closed, full force desperation left hook and caught Khan.

Danny Garcia interested in rematch with Khan

garcia56By William Mackay: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia says he’s up for a rematch with former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan after watching him defeat Carlos Molina last night by a 10th round TKO in Los Angeles, California. Khan called Garcia out after the fight, saying he’d be willing to fight him “Anytime, anyplace.” Khan also claimed that his knockout loss to Garcia was due to Garcia getting “lucky.”

Garcia said to Sky Sports News “It’s up to what Golden Boy wants because I can say ‘yeah, let’s go do it’ but really I have no control over it…If everything is right we can do it.”
It doesn’t seem likely that Golden Boy will let Khan fight Garcia again if you’re to read the tea leaves from what Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy said after the fight.

Danny Garcia: Is He The Real Deal?

by

Dany Garcia(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) The reason I ask this is because the only notable victory on the Philadelphian’s record is Amir Khan. Danny Garcia beat Erik Morlales, who WAS an absolute gladiator in his prime, having fought some of the best in the business like Manny Pacquaio and Marco Antonio Barrera (these fights in particular were blockbusters) but he has aged a lot since then and is nowhere near the fighter he was. All credit to him still for fighting on for this long.

Back to Garcia. After defeating Khan with a crushing knockout blow to the Brits neck area he then goes on to fight Morales for a second time, I understand there may have been a clause in the contract from the first fight here, but then he goes on to fight Zab ‘Super’ Judah. How does this happen? It’s quite frustrating how Angel Garcia (Danny’s father) who is a very disrespectful guy (some may say racist too for some of his previous comments in the build up to the Khan fight) says him and his son fight ‘the best in the business’, but they come off a great, unexpected win over Khan then to fight two way past their prime fighters like Judah and Morales.
