If Khan's team thought Peterson posed any danger at all, they wouldn't have been so willing to go to Peterson's hometown.
This is a stay-busy fight.

Just been looking at a few Lamont Peterson fights again to refresh my memory, as Ouma said decent body puncher. But he also does have some underrated pop, he did land some good solid punches on Victor Ortiz that would of troubled Amir Khan somewhat IMO.
The thing about Lamont Peterson though, is that he isn't special in any one category. He's got pretty average speed, power, footwork, ETC. So that's slightly worrying for Lamont Peterson, having said that though he isn't a bad boxer and hes got some technical ability and he should make it competitive.

The card starts @ 9:45 PM ET tonight here in the States on HBO beginning with The Cotto vs. Margo II re-play.
I'm not sure but Box nation might show this card starting at 2:45 AM Sunday morning in the UK/Europe.
December 10th
At Washington, D.C. (HBO): Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson, 12 rounds, for Khan's WBA/IBF junior welterweight title; Seth Mitchell vs. Timur Ibragimov, 10 rounds, heavyweights.
So drag up a Cerveza or 2 tonight and let's get ready to rumble!

I haven't seen Peterson fight that much and I don't like Khan as a fighter. The reasons are too numerous to put in this post but he is a fighter and you need courage and skill no matter what anyone says to be a champion. I expect he will as a champion give a good account of himelf. I don't see him losing either. When you hold a title something happens, like it or not you are a better fighter and Peterson has a great deal on his plate going into this fight. Khan by decision or late round stoppage. Why? He plate is cleaner.
What time does the main event start?
Seen on sky sports news khan says after this he moves up in weight for super fight with likes of mayweather or mosly, hope the mayweather fight happens as i dont want to see him beat a great like mosly when mosly is now very much on the decline.
About 3:30 AM Sunday in the UK/Europe, after they show the Cotto vs. Margo II replay on HBO.Quote:

This is going to be completely one-sided, Lamont has absolutely no skills to deal with Khan's speed and he doesn't have the one shot power to take it that way either.
what time is this on in the UK?
