- description: Khan v Garcia • Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas These are the first and second knockdowns which ultimately shifted the momentum of the fight in Garcia's favour. The third knockdown (not shown) was a glancing blow and Khan was very dazed and was still drunk from the first KO which landed on his neck/jawline and the fight was stopped when Khan's response wasn't good enough for referee Kenny Bayless. Round One: Both fighters tipped the scales at 139 lbs by the way - didn't get a chance to post up the weigh-in (but basically the fighters got weighed). Khan bouncing on the spot. Garcia looking at him very sullenly before they touch gloves. The bell goes and Khan is the early aggressor - Garcia countering decently though as Khan comes in. Nice left by Khan and a couple of hard rights over the top, that Garcia takes without trouble. Another right around the minute mark gets through to Garcia, but then Garcia looks to be landing a couple of body punches, but one of them is deemed low. Khan declines the option of a 5 minute break and is keen to continue. He takes the round, but Garcia will feel he's in it. ••• Unofficial: Khan 10-9 Garcia Round Two: Khan still looking sharp picks up the tempo early in the second and began to throw a few combo's from distance. He was on his toes and looking strong, but Garcia lands a decent right at the two minute mark to remind him he won't have it all his own way tonight. But in the last minute, as Garcia seemingly tries to up the tempo, he suddenly reels back in disgust as a cut opens over his right eye - he may be claiming he was butted. It looks nasty and should encourage him to inject some urgency - he looks strong but much slower than Khan. The cut was dealt with well by Garcia's corner. ••• Unofficial: Khan 10-9 Garcia Round Three: Khan still looking much faster. In a telling moment at the two minute mark, Garcia's head whips round as if he's wondering where his opponent went. Khan looks like he's concentrating well and even outboxing Garcia, his opponent is dangerous on the counter and still landing. Garcia throws a wide-swinging, blind left-hook counter which connects with Khan on his neck and jawline. Khan down with around 30 seconds to go. Khan staggers to his feet and is given an eight count and stumbles to the bell. This fight had been turned on its head and I watched Khan fighting for his life the rest of this round, when the bell went for end of round the referee stopped them and Khan was still so drunk from that shot he thought the referee was stopping HIM for a moment. ••• Unofficial: Khan 8-10 Garcia Round Four: Garcia comes racing out and pressurizes Khan, whose knee touches, so that will be another knockdown. Big punches from Garcia in the follow up, with Khan all over the place, but the man whose chin has been doubted digs deep and fights back with tremendous heart. But Garcia's left hook is regularly finding its range and rocking Khan who bravely waves Garcia to hit him again and with 40 secs to go Khan is down again and after being given a full count, the referee wasn't satisfied with Khan's response and spared and another onslaught Garcia wins and at the age of 24 is looking dangerously promising
