Don't really care to see the rematch actually. :-\
And I don't know why they are going to have the fight in Vegas, Kahn is not a draw there.
I read that they are looking to put together a fight between Humberto Soto and Lucas Matthysse on this card. Now that's a fight I'm excited to see. I think it will be a better fight than Peterson/Kahn. :cool:
who beat khan and got robbed?Quote:

You can lament that the fight should have gone Khan's way, and I had Khan winning slightly too, but it was a close one, and no way a robbery. Peterson earned it. He could have taken it and fought Marquez, a future Hall of Famer. He may never get the chance to test himself against someone of Marquez's level again. Instead, if he loses here, doesn't his hype decrease? He still could have fought Khan after a fight with Marquez if he lost. I imagine the offer for Khan was just much more financially lucrative.
Not that i'm a fan of Peterson, but I hope Khan loses again. I look forward to it. :thumb:
Looking forward to this rematch, big fight for Amir just hope he's more focused this time round and he could stop Peterson. I go for Khan by late stoppage.
I don't see him going back to 135 yet again. I see the total opposite with Marquez having been a live possibility for a Bradley, Peterson vs Khan etc and a Manny who he just went even up with if not beat. He'll wait for dust to settle or count on Rios bringing something to the table other than a big push and irritating laugh ;D. Marquez is the great here. Rios is in a bit of limbo sleepwalking through last go and needs a big scalp in a bad way. Either knuckle down and make 135 which I don't think he can do or at least have a go at 140-147 ish, at least officially anyway.Quote:

No need to go back to 135 for those fights. Rios can't legitimately make that weight anymore and Guerrero clearly has no attachment to it either, given his calling out of Floyd and then Ortiz at 147.Quote:

And +1 on Rios's laugh. You have to admit it would be fun to watch him get hit with flush counter after flush counter by JMM.
Khan should win it this time and probably the reason why he has paid a kings ransom to secure the rematch.
It will be a close fight again but I lean slightly towards Khan to take it 115-113. Peterson will make a real fight of it though and I wouldn't be surprised if he won.
I like how Peterson handled the decision. He didn't take any of Khan's lowly deals and planned out other options as well.
Truth of the matter is, when Khan lost the decision, he didn't spend any time considering how he could have fought differently in that ring. He whined like a woman. Peterson is smart enough to plan this one out.
Khan isn't going to learn again until he gets beaten severely like he did against Prescott. His ego is too big for his own good.
Just to note, I read that he has been working a lot on fighting on the inside and getting out of the inside if he is bad position while there.Quote:
