Anyone watch Khan v. Garcia?

Thank for posting this, I totally forgot about this fight. Your alert got me to the re-broadcast just in time. Good fight, would've loved to see a few more rounds at that pace.

We've got a local kid here who you might want to keep up on, Vanes "The Nightmare" Martirosyan. He's coming along nicely and has a lot of heart and talent.

Here's some decent footage of him sparring with Chavez Jr.

I keep HBO & Showtime both, mainly for boxing. I watch every fight they show. Last nite was a beauty!

Fight was a good one. Too bad they didn't let the fight go a little longer, Kahn still seemed to have a chance when they stopped it, but then again I wasn't the one getting my head battered.

Glendale? My office is in Burbank.

Roach was quoted as saying that Garcia's smack talk got Khan off his game plan of using his reach and better speed to pick Garcia apart all night and win on points or a technical stoppage. Based on how Garcia looked after 3+ rounds, I'd venture a guess that if he'd stuck to plans the fight would have been stopped around the 8th or 9th for cuts on Garcia.

Neighbors huh? Didn't we meet at the Glendale show last year? I was the geek wearing the Net54 shirt.

Yea, Khan definitely has the sharper tools and I was surprised that he got suckered into a brawl, but who's to say if his speed could've kept up for the entire fight. That first knockout caught Khan right at the base of his skull, behind his ear, that looked like it did a number on his central nervous system.

Garcia seems to "find" a way to win his fights somehow, with those wide hooks. I'd like to see a rematch.

Have you ever seen Martirosyan? He used to fight a lot locally, when he was first coming up. In fact, he fought at the same venue where the card show was.

good fight.. After the cut in the first I thought Kahn would jab until it was stopped.

I would have like to see Kahn continue after he said he was ok, but geez after what four knockdowns his legs were gone.
