Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia: Freddie Roach stunned over Khan’s training results

Hall of Famer coach Freddie Roach is stunned over Khan’s training results. According to Roach, Khan is showing more and resilience than he has ever before.

Amir Khan is currently training with his new strength and conditioning coach Ruben Tabares. Previously, it was Alex Ariza who was responsible to work on Khan’s strength and conditioning but the Bolton proud fired Ariza following a bitter dispute.

“Amir came back here fresh, and we brought in different sparring partners for him based on the change of opponent to Garcia,” Roach said.

“And with Amir’s new strength coach, he’s hitting harder.”

As of now, the former IBF and WBA light welterweight champion feels speedier and more powerful after going through a strenuous camp with Ruben.

“It’s given me more power, strength and explosiveness than I’ve ever had before,” added Khan.

Khan currently stands with 26 wins, 2 losses and 18 knockouts in his portfolio. He is scheduled to take on Danny Garcia on July 14 at the Mandalay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The fight will have Garcia’s WBC title on the line along with the vacant WBA light welterweight title.

“Too big, too strong, too fast,” said Roach when asked how will Khan be in the ring against Garcia.

On the other hand, when Khan was asked as to what he will offer in the ring to Garcia, the Briton fighter said, “(Garcia) will be getting hit from every corner of the ring,” and “will suffer the wrath of Khan.”

Khan’s performance at his training camp has been marvellous and surprising to many. Oscar de la Hoya, Khan’s promoter, honoured Khan’s confident saying, “Contrary to me, Amir Khan is always in great spirits, and he’s a true professional. I can tell you a layoff can hinder your performance, and I’ll tell you if that has happened to Amir Khan, he’s in for a long, hard night versus a hungry Danny Garcia.”
