Garcia is trash. I was totally underwhelmed by him in the Morales fight. If trash-Khan doesn't dominate this fight he should kill himself.
:: Garbage. Garcia is utter garbage. There you have it in any case. Get the problematic Petersen out of the way, repair Khan's image and import some cannon fodder BS opponent. Mission Accomplished.
how did they pull that one off? did they convince peterson to agree to fail a dope test and miss out on the hugest payday of his career? fuck off, gearoid.:wack:
Yes Khans style will contrast badly with Garcias lack of one. Garcia is too stiff and robotic. I saw him vs Holt and he looked poor.
This matter has been discussed at length {which is how I know you like it} in a different thread, Neilroid.
your conspiracy theories are horse shit. golden boy and khan would not need to go through that entire charade of signing for a fight, promoting a fight, etc all to have it cancelled so khan could redeem himself without fighting peterson again. its not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. he could have simply offered peterson a less enticing deal and went on to fight a different guy, win decisively to put himself back into the big money mix. few were clamoring for a khan peterson rematch and those who were would have forgotten about it in a few months.
Right from Jump Street-do not confuse G and Khan as one miscible entity. Khan is a boxer, which places him very much at the wrong end of the Oscar-Schaefer food chain. He is as thick as two short planks and, outside of the money aspect, has very little true knowledge of what is going on. Khan just trains and plays the part.
* Petersen out of the picture- for now. * Belts restored to Khan. * No-Contest entered for the Petersen fight. * Garcia vs Khan for Undisputed title. *Khan wins closer than necessary fight. *Khan decisions Petersen in "hotly anticipated" rematch, Petersen gets paid fuck all. * Undisputed Champ demands Mayweather fight *Mayweather accepts, noting his desire to "only fight the best". *Pac beats Bradley in the interim. Mark my words.
:laugh11: But if Garcia doesn't face Olusegun, he'll be stripped of his WBC belt and if Khan's belts aren't restored to him, then there are no belts on the line.
If Khan struggles at all with this guy he really should just announce his retirement and never box again. SERIOUSLY.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/may/25/amir-khan-wba-title-lamont-peterson WBA belt on way back to Khan. IBF belt pending hearing on Petersen. Amir Khan has almost got his hands back on one of the two belts he lost to Lamont Peterson last December, and is likely to go into his 14 July fight with the rising Philadelphian star, Danny GarcÃa, as the World Boxing Association light-welterweight champion. It is not a scenario he would have envisaged after losing to Peterson in a controversy-mired bout in Washington five months ago, but the WBA has proved consistently supportive of him throughout, galvanised after Peterson failed a drug test in March. On Friday, its vice-president, Gilbert Mendoza, told World Boxing News: "We have sent a letter to Peterson's party requesting information on the result [of the drug tests]. There is also a hearing to deal with on 13 June in Las Vegas." In effect that confirms that the WBA is prepared to reinstate Khan as champion and, if the Washington fighter fails in his appeal, rule the Peterson bout a no-contest. The unbeaten GarcÃa, meanwhile, must wait to see if he can carry his WBC belt into the Khan fight, now scheduled for the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, although he seems unconcerned about being stripped of the title for failing to defend it against the London-based Nigerian Ajose Olusegun. Golden Boy Promotions, a partner with Khan, says any unification fight overrides considerations of a mandatory defence :://........"any unification fight overrides considerations of a mandatory defence". There you have it fplks: NO CONTEST for the Khan vs Petersen fight. Undisputed Unification for the Garcia vs Khan fight. Petersen out of the frame. Golden Boy are stinking maggots, but the journalists are worse. Lazy, cowardly, serfs. Note how Garcia is referred to as a "Rising Philadelphian Star" and also as "Unbeaten". :: They must think we are as thick as they are.
