Khan-Garcia: Garcia hopes to spoil Khan's Light Welter farewell party

Khan and Garcia exhange for the final time before the fight

By Peter Wells: It is never a good idea to go into a fight angry. It very rarely works well for a fighter as game plans are hard to follow when all you can think about is how much you want to punish your opponent. Angel Garcia only needed one rant of how Khan didn't deserve to be a champion and he was nothing but a name, to get under his son's opponents skin.

Amir Khan plans on taking out his frustrations on Angel's son Danny Garcia tonight in Las Vegas. To do this Amir has to fight without emotion in this fight, as emotion will drag him into a brawl which thus far in his career hasn't worked out to well. He fought Marcos Maidana toe-to-toe and came out the worse for wear, but did prove that he no longer had the glass jaw everyone had labelled him with. Then he lost his WBA and IBF titles to Lamont Peterson when engaging in a brawl despite being able to dominate when boxing on the back foot.

I don't feel much need to go into any detail about the Peterson controversy. Put simply, Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone which he later admitted to taking testosterone pellets before the first fight which were given to him by a doctor for medical reasons.

Fighting angry?: Danny Garcia's father Angel has gotten under Khan's skin

Danny Garcia will feel confident he can win if he can turn this fight into a brawl, but will surely understand if Khan uses his jab that has worked so effectively in fights with Paulie Malignaggi and Andreas Kotelnik, he can dominate the fight at will. But Khan loves a bit of a brawl and will undoutably go to war with Garcia when he gets too comfortable on the back foot. Garcia must take advantage of this flaw of Khan's when he can.

Getting involved in a brawl was Khan's downfall against Lamont Peterson

One advantage Garica does have is that if there was ever a man born to be a boxer it was him. His parents are both Puerto Rican while he was born and raised in Philadelphia. Two areas with boxing tradition running through the veins of the community.

Unfortunately for Garcia not everyone blessed with such boxing backgrounds can be great, and right now he isn't quite ready for a fighter at Khan's level. Khan should use his jab to keep Garcia at distance and then step in with quick combinations to keep his opponent off balance. Garcia may nick rounds whenever Khan takes the fight inside as he inevitably does, but i don't believe Garcia has the power to really hurt the Bolton man. So the best bet is for Khan to take a comfortable decision in his final fight at the 140lbs division.
