Danny Garcia scored
a spectacular TKO of Amir Khan Saturday night in Las Vegas
to defend his WBC junior welterweight title. The victory
also earned him the WBA & Ring Magazine titles. Garcia
endured Khan's typically fast start in the first three
rounds when Khan used speed and accuracy to consistently
land to the face of the Philadelphia fighter. Garcia was cut
and out worked, but he managed to close the gap between the
two and was not deterred. As time ran out in the third,
Garcia nailed Khan with a hard left hook that deposited the
British boxer on the canvas. Garcia didn't have time to
finish the job in round three, but Khan never fully
recovered from the punch that dropped him. Garcia went back
to work in the fourth and scored two more knockdowns before
referee Kenny Bayless halted the contest, and ushered in the
Danny Garcia era. It was a terrific win, well deserved.
