Looks like this is what is going down.

That's one fight I won't be parting £15 for.

Peterson was totally outclassed by Bradley and extremely lucky to get a draw against Ortiz. Sounds about right for a ''come back home'' fight. Save the good stuff for across the Atlantic, eh Khan? And on the way get in the way of a HW megafight too.

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.

So this is the "great" matchup that held up the most important HW fight in a decade?

[TheMacMagician]

Decent stay busy fight, but not a huge fight for him to bring home to his adoring british public..... I'd rather watch Khan Maidana II at the MEN.....

I just get this felling that if Judah beats Mabuza that we'll be seeing Judah vs Khan after Peterson too and not vs the Bradley/Alexander winner. Something tells me I might be right for once.

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
