Fight Preview: Khan v Garcia

            On July 14th, 2012 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Amir "King" Khan squares off against Danny "Swift" Garcia.  This bout will be an opportunity for one of these fighters to unify the 140 pound division, now that Khan was reinstated with his championship belt, due to Lamont Peterson's recent positive testing issues.  We as boxing fans are in for a treat, with the fact that these two young fighters are in the prime of their professional careers.  It should make for a barn-burner, knowing that both fighters have the chance to reign supreme as the top Jr. Welterweight with a victory on Saturday.
            Danny Garcia is coming in to the fight as the underdog, due to his lack of competition with top tier fighters.  The most notable fighter that Garcia has beaten is an age-old Erik Morales earlier this year in Texas to win the WBC title.  Khan has the experience and skills that make him the favorite against Garcia.  Khan must utilize his speed & power to keep Garcia from pulling an upset.  On the other hand, Garcia needs to work the inside & penetrate the body and head of Khan, as Khan has shown to be vulnerable at times when fight under closed quarters.  Once again, it's great to see young standouts fighting each other, especially when the stakes are high as they are this Saturday as one of these fighters will have the chance to unify the Jr. Welterweight division.  Don't miss it on HBO's World Championship Boxing 8 PM PST.
