Khan was dirty no doubt, but I don't know about TWO point deductions. Either way, you gotta factor them into your scorecard.
I had Peterson losing the last round, making it 9-9, so I had it a draw. Can't really see Peterson winning, MAYBE by a point. Honestly think a draw was the right call, and I was rooting for Peterson.
Anyone outraged at this decision ?
Khan list his shit titles.
To be a real champ you need a green belt.
No Hulk,I am not outraged about that decision, Khan's own fault you could see the point's
were going to be deducted, too much pushing by Khan.?
Peterson, did fight out of his skin and he deserve'd the decision.
Khan, got this fight wrong no one to blame only himself.;D
It was a close fight. I don't think even Khan had a problem with the cards, given the point deductions. The problem was the point deductions. Without those, Khan won.
(I like Peterson and don't particularly like Khan (though I don't dislike him either) and I grew up in DC, so I'm definitely not coming at this with a pro-Khan bias.)
It was a really good fight though. It's a shame about the ref. But I'd happily watch the rematch.
Point deductions were definitely warranted and right man got the decision.
And to think that bradley dominated peterson ...
Bradley is supposed to be " ducking " khan? Haha
With the point deductions I still had it a draw. No complains on the cards as there shouldn't be in such a close fight.
Ref could have made it look a little less like he had an agenda but favouratism can happen anywhere! A rematch somewhere neutral would be good to see how they both adapt and improve to face each other again- neither were perfect but both entertained.
Right decision.close fight but khan defo warranted the points deductions.couldn't help being delighted hearing the result after seeing khan being so smug when they wer waiting for the score card. Brilliant effort by peterson nobody gave him a chance me included wot a warrior.
Even with the points taken off, I still had Khan infront.
Was also two knock downs in the first
Very good and a very close fight, could have gone either way, i think the points deductions were right Khan was pushing and using his elbows a lot , delighted for Peterson,he put up a tremendous performance and deserves some big paydays,good luck to him:)
I've just watched the fight again this morning, those pushes were self defence! Peterson was bulldozing Khan all night, with no warning. When Khan pushed him back he got told off.
The points were very harsh, peterson was leading with his head constantly
What else was khan suppose to do?
hit me up with a link?Quote:

Good fight and Khan proved he has the mental and physical attitude to reclaim his title....Well done Peterson u took the fight to Khan and fought very well
Job Biscuit (had no sound so wasn't influenced by crappy commentary)!!!
eh eh!!!
Even if you give Khan the 2 points and he get's the majority decision.
Should a guy who claims to want and be a legitimate contender to Money Mayweather be having life and death battles with the likes of Lamont Peterson ?
NO
Don't get me wrong. Khan will probably have the rematch against Peterson in the spring and he may well win but all the fancy talk of Mayweather has gone up in smoke. All the fancy talk of retiring early will not happen either. In a way I think this defeat is worse than the Prescott defeat. Anyone can get KO-ed.
But when someone is there toe-toe with you for 12 rounds and still standing and pushes you all the way, then that tells me, that Khan is not as good as he or F.Roach or Golden boy promotions thinks he is.
