Boxing: Khan vows to knock Garcia out
His remarks came after Garcia’s father, Angel Garcia, made unsavoury comments about WBA champion Khan’s Pakistani heritage during the main pre-fight press conference.
“I promise you - I’ve never said this at a press conference - I will knock Danny Garcia out and win the title,” said Khan. “That will shut his dad up. I cannot wait until after the fight, when I’ve knocked his son out and I’m standing here with the titles. It’s funny when he said he’s never seen a Pakistani fight. He’s going to see a Pakistani fight, and knock his son out. I can’t wait to get in there.”

omg..till Now I believed Amir Khan is a British citizen not Pakistani...lol ;)
Spoke too soon. garcia kicked amir's chin
Looks like God favored Garcia
oops! turns out Khan has no chin!
@haider: You are absolutely right.
khan u got enough potential y dont u join UFC there's much more fame rather than this one
@Haider, if the west is so bad, then I wonder why they are allowing Amir to compete and earn so much money.
Never seen a Pakistani fight? Heck we've been fighting since 47'!
@Zaheer: do you really think if the same racit comments were uttered by a Pakistani then western media would take it as pre-fight-hype? The answer is a big NO and our boxers would be facing international bban, boxing association would be fined and media would go all the way against pakistanis..
Bull and Crap... this is always the pre-fight hype creation...
who ever knocks the other party out... in they end... they are going to praise the other fighter... stating he fought well and bla bla bla...
it just to keep the public intrested to watch the show....
Get him, bro.
Go ahead khan, garcia family sounds already under pressure
Make him see a Pakistani fight but please don't fight like Pakistanis who fight w/o the fear of consequences
Cmon' Khan - this ones for P.A.K.I.S.T.A.N
Love you Amir and our best wishes are for you
