I thought the 2nd one was legit, but I'm not sure about the first.
Neither kd looked legit to me.

It was about surviving all too often, you can't win fights and impress with such negativity. I like seeing a stalker though and was pleased to see Peterson warm to the role. He fought like the hungry fighter and was being spoiled all the time. He wanted to fight, Khan didn't seem to.
And Peterson is the winner! :D

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
And the bullshit deductions hand Peterson the title. What a fucking joke.
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Kahn should have won but Peterson earned a different result.
Very close --- a better fight than i expected.
Kahn showed that he has speed; Lamont proved that he has persistence.
i give it to Peterson in the end, and it is a surprise.
Guess my feed is behind .. you guys saw it already, I haven't ...
Happy with the result because Peterson deserved it. But it is not what I thought would advance boxing. I am not a Kahn hater or lover but he seems the more talented boxer. Wanted to see him win and fight Manny.
Not Floyd who winds handily.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Khan "Pushed" himself away from winning this fight

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
I think Peterson deserved to win, but this is an awful way to see a belt change hands.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
CFH really ? ref warned Khan about pushing atleast 10 times, and Khan was also holding like an octopus those point deduction's were warranted.
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Peterson wins by SD... hmmm.. I don't like Khan, but there's no way Peterson would have won that fight if it weren't for the 2 questionable point deductions.
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Just goes to show how good Bradley was i think it was a shit move to put Khan ahead of Bradley anyhow and how that judge scored the 114 111 i will never know lol that was some bs right there.
-
So now can Peterson beat Floyd too ?
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
all I know is that this fight made Bradley's win over Peterson look that much better, hell Ortiz handled Peterson better than Khan did, honestly Khan either needs to move up to 147, or close his mouth a bit

I'm not sure if you're serious, he never received anything more than a cursory warning.
This was one of the worst ref jobs I have ever seen. I think Peterson deserves to win, but this is going to cause a stupid amount of controversy if he does get the nod.
How many times do you warn someone before taking a point? I mean I know it's not a foul that's called, but that doesn't make leading with the forearm any less illegal.

The Ortiz fight was very close and could of gone either way.

Fight out of it instead of pushing out, would be a good option.

You stop the fight, explain to the fighter what he is doing wrong, and then tell him that you're going to take a point next that. That's how it works. You don't randomly yell shit at him while he's in the midst of trading punches.

I think both deduction's were warranted, Khan fouled and was warned numerous times. He was the one running and holding you can't win a fight that way.

How? The guy comes in with his head down and they tie up and then the ref refuses to call a break.
I was very impressed by Peterson and I thought he deserved to win, but the ref has completely cheapened this victory.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Holy fuck. Amir is awful in this interview. Stupid, in denial and flat out rude to the area he is fighting in. Amir was the cleaner fighter? Hahahahahaha! Idiot. ;D

I know Khan's your boy and everything, but Khan acknowledged to the ref that he understood the warning. He didn't complain when the ref took the point. And now the replays show clearly the Peterson was not leaning over when Khan elbow slapped Peterson.
Beer me.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Saw the interview. Khan sounds like a big wet baby in need of changing.

Roach's fighters don't tie up well on the inside. Roach's fighters don't know how to fight out of it. Roach's fighters don't know how to just stay in a phone booth and return fire.
HIs guys look like sitting ducks if you can get close.

This has ruined khans chances with floyd. Khan was showboating alot and is still a good boxer.

Fuck off with that shit, I already said I thought Peterson deserved to win. All I'm saying is that the ref completely blew this fight and it's going to overshadow the fight itself.

I dunno bro IMO Ortiz got the job done, I thought he took the first 3 rounds plus it was a 10-7 round in the 3rd and he came back strong in the later rounds (a lot of the rounds between the 4th to the 8th were close) taking 3 of the last 4 rounds, and I felt at the end of the fight that the only reason that he didn't win it more dominantly was cause he let of the gas and let Peterson get back in, either way Khan should either get a rematch or move up to 147 and fight the winner of Berto/Ortiz II
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
FUCK YES!!!
Khan, what a fucking sore loser and classless piece of shit - Why would you disgrace yourself and insult the town you just fought in.
So glad he lost those belts - Every news article you seem to read is him giving his 2 pence about Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao and overlooking Peterson. Exactly what he deserved.
-
At least khan and hatton fight abroad in there primes..thats a big risk in itself.

They have nothing against a good uppercut thrown from the inside. You get in close and you work them over. I didn't like the advice of the Peterson corner. Use the jab? No, crowd him and hit him everywhere you can. Let him spoil and let him be the architect of his own demise with the spoiling.

There was so many comings together which should have been broken up by the ref though. Khan had to push off because the referee wasn't calling any breaks. Shouting at Khan for the majority of the fight is only going to make things worse. Terrible refereeing performance. Astoundingly bad.
That aside, Khan showed where his own level is at. It's unlikely that he will ever be an elite fighter, so that will make the move up to 147 harder as the competition is stronger.
I thought Khan won, despite the deductions, but can't really argue either way. Close and exciting fight, which would have been better with a more competent referee.
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Very humble Khan, that's why we love you ;D
Been arguing with my mates all weekend saying Peterson is no mug he got a draw with Ortiz after going down twice, despite what you hink of ortiz that's not bad going.
I missed the first 2 rounds tonight but i was expecting it to be a draw during the 12th allowing Khan to keep his belts. Peterson is a warrior, he had a couple of rounds where he was getting soundly outboxed but very rugged and had no quit in him. Khan done himself no favours with the point deductions but rules are rules say what you like about the ref but he is probably used to having it all his own way.
Khan looked ahead and paid the price, can't overlook anyone at this level.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Khan wanted to move up to 147. Why don't they just do the rematch at 147? Peterson weighed 155 pounds tonight to Khan's 149. It isn't as if moving the rematch to 147 would give Khan an advantage.
-
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
I don't know why some of you are blaming the ref and not accepting that Khan spoiled his way through the fight. Good on the ref for being hard.
The referee was GOOD. Nothing wrong with his performance at all.

I don't think they could beat Floyd if they both got to fight him at the same time.

Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
The commission not making the ref available for an interview seems shady to me. I have seen refs who have made worse decisions in the ring give their take on the situation, so i don't understand why the ref was unavailable. Transparency is key in situations like this.
