Edmond Tarverdyan: Danny Garcia is not a pressure fighter – Boxing News
Edmond Tarverdyan, the elite mixed martial art trainer and the owner of Glendale Fighting Club, believes Danny Garcia does not seem to be a pressure imposing brawler and that Amir Khan can outbox him.
Tarverdyan, who himself possesses decent experience in a number of brawling styles like Muay Thai, Wushu, Kungfu and others, has participated in numerous competitions all around the world.
His organisation has produced some prolific fighters who have won titles in various internationally and nationally acknowledged competitions. While explaining in detail the facets that might create a difference during the Amir-Danny bout, Edmond was of the
view that Danny needs to just keep on attacking Khan.
The 30-year-old further added that Khan tends to get confuse at brawlers who move towards him and attack him with great pressure. Edmond analysed Danny and stated, “He doesn’t look like a pressure fighter. If he doesn’t put pressure he is going to have a
hard time because Amir Khan looks good with technical fighters. If you do not put the pressure on Khan he is going to pick you apart, he is quick, athletic and is used to the waiting style.”
Edmond moved on and explained with solid reason as to why Khan became the Olympic medallist in the first place. The MMA trainer commented that it was Khan’s style that made him invincible in the Olympics, adding that European fighters don’t put substantial
pressure on their opponents.
Tarverdyan remarked that European pugilist have this tendency of moving towards the opponent in a slow focussed stance, adding that they try to outbox their opponent and Amir is really good at it, the reason why he won the medal authoritatively.
While highlighting the most important deficiency in Amir Khan’s brawling style, Edmond stated, “Anybody that puts lot of pressure on Amir Khan, Khan will have a problem in tackling such opponent and with pressure means just go after him just like Maidana
did in the last two rounds.”
Edmond and his colleagues at the gym also criticised Angel Garcia’s, Danny’s father, trash talk and commented that belligerents should keep the families, kids, religion and all that stuff out of the heat.
Tarverdyan in the end commented that the bout is between two pugilists Amir Khan and Danny Garcia, therefore there is no need for Angel to step in and do the talking since he is not going to exchange fists with Khan.
Amir and Danny will meet at the Mandalay Bay Resorts and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States on July 14, 2012 in a 12-round bout with two world title on the line.
