Angel Garcia: 'My son would be Amir Khan again'

Angel Garcia: 'My son would beat Khan again'

The father of Danny Garcia believes that any rematch between his son and Amir Khan would still end in defeat for the Bolton fighter.

The pair clashed in July with Garcia claiming a knockout victory over the 26-year-old and despite Khan's win over Carlos Molina on Sunday, Angel Garcia, who also trains his son, thinks that another bout between the pair would still end in triumph for Garcia.

"If Danny fought Khan again, he's going to beat him," Garcia was quoted as saying in The Mirror.

"You can't train a chin, you can chew a lot of gum and that will help the muscles in your jaw, but the thing is, he ain't going to beat Danny.

"People say that punch by Danny was lucky, but we practised that shot in the gym. We knew Khan jumps in with his chin straight up in the air and the left hook is the counter for that."

Garcia squares off against Zab Judah on February 9.
