Watch Danny Garcia vs Amir Khan Full Fight update recap
WBC champ Danny Garcia added the WBA light welterweight belt
to his collection with a stunning fourth-round upset of Britain's Amir Khan in
a unification title fight.
Garcia, who already had the WBC title, now has 24 wins and
no losses. Garcia, of Philadelphia, kept his perfect record intact by surviving
the first two rounds before using a devastating left hook late in the third
round that caught Khan flush on the right ear.
The American Garcia scored three knockdowns with the end
coming with 32 seconds left in the fourth round when referee Kenny Bayless
stopped the bout.
Garcia said he even surprised himself a little bit with the
shot that changed the fight but it was one he worked on with his sparring
partners during training camp.
Garcia, 24, was coming off a 12-round unanimous decision
over Morales four months ago.
Khan is now the biggest trophy on Garcia's unblemished
record and this win could signal a jump for the American into the welterweight
division where such stars as unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and Filipino icon Manny
Pacquiao await him.
