Khan should not blame Roach

Khan likely would have beaten Garcia had he listened to Roach
By Sean McDaniel: Amir Khan (26-3, 18 KO’s) only has himself to blame for losing to WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (24-0, 15 KO’s) by a 4th round TKO last night in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was a fight that Khan would have won had he followed the advice of his trainer Freddie Roach to stick and move, and not stand in front of Garcia. Khan for whatever reason chose to slug with Garcia by standing directly in front of him looking to trade.

Khan-Garcia: Should Amir dump Roach if he loses again
By Chris Williams: We’ve all heard the excuses from Amir Khan about his loss to Lamont Peterson last December, and it looks like the excuses have been swallowed up by Khan’s boxing fans who are giving him a pass for the defeat. However, if Khan loses to WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia on July 14th, he may need to consider dumping his trainer Freddie Roach in order to find someone that can teach Khan to defend himself.
