It's been a long time since some young fighter amazed me, but hell....Danny Garcia did it.

Although Morales is on a clear decline and should retire before they fine and ban his ass from boxing. (No disrespect intended, hes still ERIK MORALES), I liked Garcia in that fight. Especially that thunderous LEFT.
Khan has some holes in his arsenal...and I think these won't be filled any time soon even with the guidance of Hunter, but he is a game and technically sound fighter with potential (damn, saying that hurts), Garcia still taxed his ass, clocked him with another left, kept calm while Khan was break dancin' all over the freaking squared circle and still managed to put up a meassured and humble interview afterwards.

What I am trying to say is, I really like the kid. He is not over the top cocky, got some skills (needs to improve some things of course), has nice amateur resume, PHILLY represent, he can fight, he can talk...I hope he stays on top of the world for a loooong time. Not a P4P material, but makes a good champ in my eyes.

Thoughts ?

Peterson got over rated as a ticket seller in dc. As many sites reported khan drew a big part of that crowd being Dc has a large Pakistan population. Plus max boxing said about 1,000 tickets were comps.

There was no buzz here for the main event that's why they were giving out tickets like crazy the last few days. Garcia no name status ain't going to get him a mayweather fight yet.

I agree that there was not much buzz in the Garcia/Morales main event in BK. It hardly made sense, if you ask me. On the flipside, Khan may have been the bigger draw in DC for the Peterson fight, but shit, he hasn't been selling as many tickets as people thinks he does.

Word is, Khan/Garcia and Khan/Judah didn't sell as many tickets as the public has been led to believe. A lot of those tickets were comped as well, so who knows. I cant say that Garcia will sell THAT many tickets, but Khan doesn't sell like that either.

I guess the excitement of either Garcia or Khan facing Mayweather, will come to the public's attention, and people will turn their attention to who had the better resumes and performances.
