Comparison Of Danny Garcia And Amir Kahn
Danny Garcia Vs Amir Kahn 2 The W.B.C. may order a rematch between their highest ranked Welterweights. According to the W.B.C rankings, Ranked #1 Amir “King” Kahn v's Ranked #2 Danny “Swift” Garcia 2 may happen sooner than later. This fight will be for Floyd Mayweather’s vacant WBC welterweight title.
In their first fight, I like many others anticipated Kahn’s Power, boxing ability, and speed will be too much for Danny Garcia. The fight seemed to be going Kahn’s way as he was peppering Garcia with blistering hand speed that cut Garcia over his right eye. Garcia quickly turned things around in the 3rd when he landed what looked like the “no look left hook” that shattered the chin of Kahn, Kahn barely survived the round but was later stopped in the 4th where he refused to hold and kept trying to fight off the swift bombs coming his way.

Hunter also blamed highly regarded trainer Freddie Roach. He said he would have pulled Kahn from future press conferences to avoid such shenanigans. One can say the distractions lost Kahn the fight, but his chin seems to be an issue after his 1st round KO loss to Bredis Prescott back in 2008. Since the Garcia loss Kahn has been on a 5 fight win streak and four have gone the distance. Kahn has had time to grow in the new weight his last 3 fights were at welterweight in which he has been

    Gallardo Case Study

    • 1019 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Gallardo has allowed just a .287 wOBA on pitches put into play in the second half of the season, with a BABIP of just .143. In the first half, opposing batters had a .438 wOBA in those situations with a BABIP of .353. Going forward, I would expect Gallardo to have numbers more akin to the latter rather than the former. However, it also has something to do with pitch location in those situations. Gallardo threw 44% of pitches in the strike zone in the first half of the season, but just 34% in the second half. This has resulted in a preposterously high 26.9% walk rate with two or more runners on base, but has also resulted in batters doing less damage when putting the ball into play. Given the poor quality of his pitching, hoping batters swing at bad pitches is probably an intelligent…

    Before the day of the fight Bob Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey were going to face off to claim the world heavyweight title. The only problem was that J.J. Groom and John Gibbs, the promoters of the scheduled fight, did not have a referee. Fitzsimmons’ manager was afraid that a fixed fight was in order, thus he refused every referee suggested by J.J. Groom and John Gibbs the promoters of this match ("The San Francisco call). Fitzsimmons was on the verge of pulling out of the contest which is why the sponsors of the heavyweight championship found a candidate that would be perfect for the match. The referee was Wyatt Earp but when he was approached with the job offer, Earp objected Wyatt Earp told the promoters of the fight that if they could not find a suitable referee for the match then the sponsors could find him at the Goodfellow’s Restaurant eating dinner, which was across the street from where the fight is scheduled to happen. After searching for another referee, they were running out of time and had no one left to suggest for the match so they went to Wyatt again and told him they could not find another referee, so he agreed to judge the fight (Cellania, Miss. "Wyatt Earp and the ‘Fixed' Heavyweight Title Fight). The attendants were not very pleased to find out Wyatt Earp was the referee but he did in fact judge other matches before giving…

    On the surface baseball and football do not really seem that similar. Baseball is a game played between two teams of nine on a diamond shaped circuit of four bases where football is a game of two teams of eleven on a field marked out as a gridiron. However, the players in these sports are actually quite similar in some ways and different in others. Players like Calvin Johnson, an NFL wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, and Yasiel Puig, an MLB outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers have many differences like their early lives, positional value, and overall success. Both Johnson and Puig are excellent athletes in their respected sports and are similar by their teamwork and leadership, physicality and athleticism, and statistical value.…

    Both story and movie portray a future where everyone is mentally, physically, and socially equal. The people who made the film did not portray it well in most areas. The character Harrison Bergeron in both the movie and story was described differently. Harrison’s father wears a metal handicap radio in his ear. The government in the story regulates mostly everything and in the movie they it forces the people to obey the laws that are announced. The story shows the character Harrison as if he is superman, but the film does not show that at all.…

    You do not have to be a sports fan to see that Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, is clearly superior to Mark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets. The statistics, personal and professional tell the story. I will give some background on the two quarterbacks, to help you get to know their experience. According to “Aaron Rodgers” (2012), “Aaron Rodgers attended Pleasant Valley High School in Chico California, where he was starting quarterback for two years, graduating in 2012. He was recruited by Butte Community College in Oroville, and it was there he was discovered by California Golden Bears head coach, Jeff Tedford. Rodgers. Rodgers was staring quarterback for part of the 2003 season, and all of the 2004 season, but deciding to forego his senior season, he entered the 2005 draft” (“Aaron Rodgers, 2012). According to“Mark Sanchez” (2012), “Mark Sanchez attended Santa Margarita High School, transferring to Mission Viejo High School his junior year. Sanchez committed to University of Southern California, where he attended college after graduating high school in 2005 as the top high school quarterback in the nation. Sanchez was starting quarterback part of the 2007 season, and all of the 2008 season. He decided not to play his final year, and instead entered the 2009 NFL draft, although he did stay in school and finish work on his degree” (“Mark Sanchez”, 2012). Since you now know some of their background experience as quarterbacks, I want you to look at their similarities: age, physical size, and starting quarterback experience, so you can see that they started out on an equal footing. Then I want you to look at their differences: passing statistics and ratings under pressure, so then you can see that there is no question who comes out on top. In reading this…

    In the poem “Casey at the Bat” and the story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. The first identical trait is that David and Casey have huge problems. “Casey at the Bat” says,”The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,” and in “David and Goliath” the story says “Saul and his men heard what Goliath said, but they were so frightened that they couldn’t do a thing.” Both stories explained that both of the characters the characters had big problems, Casey’s was that his team was losing, and David’s was that there was a enormous giant that the army had to fight. The second similarity is that they were both being relied on. “David and Goliath” says that “Choose your best…

    Later, in the eight round, Griffith delivers a “clubbing punch” that caused Paret to walk three “disgusted steps away, showing his hindquarters.” Mailer uses words like clubbing and disgusted to help explain the nature and expressions both fighters were portraying. “For a champion” it took Paret much too long to turn back around after the blow. It was the first time Paret had ever shown weakness and it must have “inspired a particular shame” within Paret because, Mailer felt the rest of…

    As we all have hopefully already learned, Robinson and Gallagher's main focus when it came to the study of the British Imperialism was the importance of continuity throughout Britain's imperial age. While previous imperial historians mostly limited their attention to the fluctuations within the formal empire, Robinson and Gallagher argued that we must not only pay attention to where Britain maintained direct control over within the world, but also the area's where they maintained a huge amount of political and economic influence, also called the informal empire. According to their argument the best way to think about British Imperialism before the development of 'New Imperialism' is : "trade with informal control if possible, trade with rule if necessary".…

    Casey's power over his fans is above all others. Casey's fans will listen to just about anything he says without hesitation. When Casey struck his first out, his fans were furious over the fact and yet all he had to do was raise one hand to settle them down. I quote,"And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand," and because of this one line, you can see that Casey's power over his fans can stop a whole crowd from ridiculing innocent people.…
