If Khan and Roach are underestimating Peterson, they could be in for a big surprise, Peterson ain't no pushover, the dude can fight, and this is a golden opportunity for him. Keep in mind too, that Lamont does have some power and Amir's chin is still questionable.

    Plus, I want another look at Cotto vs Margo II in HD on my big screen, that comes on before the main event.
    I wish we were getting the Cotto - Margarito replay over here. Anything that saves me from having to watch Ibragimov on the undercard.

    Khan should win, but i think as always, he'll have some scary moments. He still does a lot of things wrong technically and his defence isn't great. Peterson is a better fighter than he showed against Bradley so he should make it interesting for the first 4 or 5 rounds. He might even be land a few clean shots which could buzz Khan. Khan should take over and win on points. A stoppage would be impressive but unlikely. Khan UD for me, but it should be competitive.

    That's what I figure, Khan by UD, or possibly a close, even controversial SD, but I'd love to see Peterson score an upset.

    Wouldn't surprise me if he had to get off the floor to win this one tbh. Got a weird feeling about it. I'd like to see him win because i've more interest in watching him fight guys like Bradley and the like. I've not seen enough of Peterson to care either way really. I'd like to see Khan - Ortiz down the line. That would be a good grudge match after the Jr Olympics.

    Like I said earlier in the thread, Peterson is a guy with some skills and decent power, but hasn't shown he can win at the next level. This fight is a golden opportunity for Lamont, if he wins Khan's titles, it would propel him into the big time, so i'm expecting him to bring it.

    I like Peterson, certainly think he is better than he showed against Bradley. Bradley's style of rushing in and being careless with his head makes a lot of fighters uncomfortable and look worse than they are. Alexander may have been a bit overrated at one time but I think he looked especially poor to people after the Bradley fight by how uncomfortable he looked in there. He didn't like/handle the pressure in the Kotelnik fight but didn't look nearly as frustrated to me as he did in the bout with Bradley. Without saying who he would win/lose to against in fights with people like Mallinaggi or Judah, I think he would look much better against them. I think Peterson is the same way, when he was put under real pressure by Ortiz he didn't handle it extraordinarily well but didn't look nearly as troubled by it as he did against Bradley. Khan lunges in awkwardly sometimes but I don't think it will take Peterson out of his element nearly as much, Khan being relatively responsible with distance and spacing helps Khan but I think also helps Lamont in this fight. I figure it to be a relatively competitive fight with Khan winning on points.

    Good post, I like the way Bradley looked against Alexander, pretty much dominating him, and I realize Casamayor was old & shot, but Tim did what he was suppose to do in there. In a lot of ways, Khan is being overrated and Bradley is being underrated.
    Khan figures to win a close, even controversial fight against Peterson Saturday night, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Lamont pull off the upset in front of his homies.. This should be a good fight.

    P.S. I hope if Khan does win, Khan vs. Bradley gets done next..

    Khans gonna stop him

    Some of you lot need to appreciate he is the real deal and has proved it ...The Maidana fight sealed it for me..yeah he hung on for his life but he took some heavy blows and come through!!

    Prescott done him a HUGE favour..!

    I think Amir will shine in this one

    It's Timur Ibragimov, not Sultan Ibragimov. He's the lesser talanted of the Ibragimov's. Sultan retired after the defeat against Wlad. Still this is a good step up for Seth Mitchell. Timur has lost almost every time he's stepped up in competition. He lost to Calvin Brock, Tony Thompson, and last time out suffered a debatable split decision loss to Jean Mormeck. He also has drawn with Kevin Johnson. This will be a good gauge of where Seth Mitchell is in his development.
