Unified champion praises gameplan
WBC and WBA light-welterweight champion Danny Garcia is
ready to continue fighting the top names after his demolition job on Amir Khan
in Las Vegas began with a peach of a left hook.
The Philadelphian produced a calculated performance to stop
Khan in four rounds to inflict his second knockout loss and believes he had the perfect plan to halt his opponent as predicted.
“I always knew I had it in me. Great fighters bring the best
out of me and Amir Khan is a great fighter,” Garcia told HBO’s Max Kellerman
after the fight.
“I’m a killer baby. I will fight anybody anytime.
“We knew he would come out fast. I wanted to step it up
after the third. I knew it was the left hook, that’s my big shot.
“Amir Khan is one of the best fighters in the world and I
have nothing but respect for him."
The 24 year-old has now cleaned up the division at his
tender age, although is left with few options at 140lbs with Lamont Peterson out of commission pending
an upcoming decision by the IBF on his title.
A possibility could be another unification against WBO belt
holder Juan Manuel Marquez, although that fight can only be made if Manny
Pacquiao decides on a rematch with Timothy Bradley this year.
“Whoever’s out there, I want to fight the best,” said Garcia.
