Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia
Khan seemed to have control of the fight in the first 2 rounds, executing his speed and boxing skills well on Garcia. That all changed in round 3 when Khan was hit with a counter left hook right on the neck that put him to the canvas for the second time in his career and looked to wobble around thereafter and was dropped twice further in round 4, resulting in the referee Kenny Bayless waving the fight off.
