Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread

[killersheep]

If you're not going to call any breaks you CANNOT penalize a fighter for pushing. This is ludicrous and it's cheapening a great fight.

He was warned..............................The end.

HBO needs to get off Khan's dick. Amir needs to rethink of calling out Mayweather. He will get his ass whooped.

I have it 7-5 Khan. Khan wins by 1 pt on my scorecard.

Repeatedly and a lot of the time it was ignored too. Khan deserved what he got.

[Tam Seddon]

I don't know if Khan has this, that ref is shit. Peterson was good tonight though no doubt, khan will be lucky to take this on points. Good fight!

[Sleepwalker]

That ref can kiss his main event fight career goodbye. It's back to deducting points at Nightclubs and YMCA's

[killersheep]

Rematch anyone? I don't see why not.

I didn't think Peterson was knocked down either, i'd like to see that replay again. How can you retain your title running like that with all that holding ?

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.

I thought the 2nd one was legit, but I'm not sure about the first.

Neither kd looked legit to me.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss

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!

[CFH]

And the bullshit deductions hand Peterson the title. What a fucking joke.

[NuthaPug]

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.
