Khan v Peterson April 16th M.E.N Arena, Manchester, England..

Definitely not a PPV I'll be buying. It's a decent fight wile he's waiting for bigger things, but it should be fairly one sided.

Agree mate, I won't be buying it. Not a chance. That's one fight I'll stream.

Haye said Sky didn't want two PPVs in one month so if they weren't willing to accommodate Haye/Wlad as a ppv, Chisora vs Wlad should be 'free'. He isn't a big enough name to demand a ppv, anyhow. He'll get battered by Wlad and then fall back to British level where he belongs.

Even chavez jr is shaking his head in disbelief that more than five people would pay for either of those fights on ppv

the exact kind of "homecoming" fight we should come to expect nowadays

Peterson will sell over well as a bold, brash US fighter coming to end the reign of a brit, he doesnt have the pedigree to suggest he can do so but to your average fight fan it`ll appear on paper to be a great fight.

Perhaps you're right.

I don't rate Khan at all, he is a protected species. It's all hype and very little substance, the Prescott loss has been swept under the carpet and he's been given a dream run ever since. Beating an old Barrera means nothing, this is not a mega fight , it's a mega con. Bradley beat Peterson a shut out!

:vd:

On paper prior to the Alexander/Bradely fight for me he has the best record at 140, wins over the current number 4 and 5 and solid win over Paulie, he has just turned 24 ffs, can't fucking please anyone, Jesus christ. :rolleyes:

Dream run? he shut out the guy who just got robbed by Alexander and just beat the hardest pucher in the divison.

The shameless ducking of Paul McCloskey continues....































;D

Certainly not ppv worthy but decent enough go to keep Khan in spotlight. I dont see it as a gimme. He's fought Maidana who has you 100% power conscious and prior a Paulie Maliginaggi who was throwing nerf balls at him. Might take him a while to adjust to Peterson, a good blend of straight hitting with movement, a chin and tried experience. Don't see upset but if ever a peaking guy could get caught sleeping its in these "stay busy" fights with durable veteran.

The audacity of that young man!

I like Peterson, but you right. Seems like he's only a B level fighter, and won't get over the hump. He will be a tough fight for any opponent, but don't have the polish skills or the KO power to get to the next level.
I'm not sure if Khan has KO power, but the body shot he put on MM was vicious. What I do know is, if he gets hits flush, his gameplan changes.

It's not a PPV fight but interesting to see what each of them bring to the fight.

B fighter vs B fighter. Only difference is one B fighter (Con) has more hype than the other one. Either way only an idiot who doesn't know the sport of Boxing will call this an easy fight. It's 50-50 fight

I could pretty much buy it. Another Top Rank all round event by Uncle Bob.

Worst post i've probably ever read on here. ;D

No Contest and Bilbo were on to something, it is happening apparently as Peterson demanded too high a figure...

BBC Sport - Amir Khan 'happy' to fight Paul McCloskey

I like the McCloskey fight myself
