Khan seemed to have control of the fight in the first 2 rounds, executing his speed and boxing skills well on Garcia. That all changed in round 3 when Khan was hit with a counter left hook right on the neck that put him to the canvas for the second time in his career and looked to wobble around thereafter and was dropped twice further in round 4, resulting in the referee Kenny Bayless waving the fight off.

Could this be 'Fight of The Year'? The reputation of Amir Khan was enhanced in a brutal battle for supremacy in a thrilling, successful third defence of his World Boxing Association light-welterweight belt against knockout specialist Marcos Maidana. The plan was to hit and run. Yet not only did Khan stand and trade with Maidana in a ferocious fight, he survived a brutal onslaught and a near-knockout in the 10th round to dispel the myth that he is “chinny” at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Khan's vulnerability, yet desire to fight, make him compelling viewing.
