Anyone else watching this?

I hope Khan scores a first round KO

Don't think he'll KO him but I see a comfortable 116-112/117-111 type of win for Khan.

He's a level above Garcia IMO.

Its a shame. I thought Amir could have kept going. Needed to defend for a round or 2 to get his head together and start striking again.

That first KD from that punch to the neck was vicious. I thought it was possible he could've kept going after the last KD since that punch only graced the back of his head. Bayless saw differently and it's hard to argue against 3 KDs and one of boxing's best refs.

It's not about chin. Mayweather has no chin either but he has great defense and isn't reckless.

If you don't see the punch you will get knocked out. Any fighter will get knocked out if they dont see the punch. Boxers are human. His chin is good that's why he took petersons punches and was careful. Danny caught him because he was reckless and didn't see it.

Dude got KTFO before Roach was his trainer. You can change a fighter's approach, but you can't change one's ability to take a punch.

Um... he is still the money man for the division...and makes fun and exciting fights. People hate on Khan far too much for what he is not. The fact that he is flawed is what makes him must see... and the fact that he has a douchebag aura about him also helps. We all want to see the douche to lose at the end of the day.

Kahn put himself in a position to be stopped. God Bless him, he did everything to make it out of the round except um.... HOLD,

I was hoping he was finish the round but at the end of the day, the ref is there for fighter safety. He wasn't going to all of a sudden get his bearings after that 10 count when he could have well been stopped much earlier.

i know its really early but what do people think of a rematch, i know the garcia camp has been contradicting themselves on it......... i think a rematch (victory) would be the best and maybe the only way for amir khan to recover, otherwise i see his career going downhill

I know Garcia's father has already ruled it out. Fact is Khan has to start from scratch again. He has to rebuild his brand because it took a huge hit yesterday.

Khan was doing good until the left hook by Garcia. What a shot that was by Garcia...I would've had no argument with Bayless if he stopped it there because Khan was wobbly and seeing stars but it was toward the end of the round, so I'm sort of glad he gave him the benefit of the doubt. Khan never recovered from that shot and I knew it was just a matter of time when round 4 began.

Lucas Matthysse is one that jumps to mind immediately as a possible next fight for Garcia, also remember that Marcos Maidana is returning to 140. A rematch with Khan could be possible, I think there would be some money in that. It was a highly entertaining fight and Khan was winning when he was stopped.

That fight should have been stopped earlier, if anything. Khan was lurching around like a drunk to get to his corner. Bayless seemed reticent to stop it only because it was a big name about to be TKOd by an underdog.

Does Kahn even count as a big name? His crowds don't even reach 4k unless Golden Boy give out comp tickets.
