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

[CFH]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Spicoli]

Saw the interview. Khan sounds like a big wet baby in need of changing.

[Althugz]

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.

[armyash]

Very humble Khan, that's why we love you

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.

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.

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.

[ElTerribleMorales]

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

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

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

[captainanddew]

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.

Why would Peterson wanna do that Capt? He owns two 140 lb. straps now, it wouldn't make sense not to keep the fight at that weight.

[GAME]

Im glad the ref didnt call break everytime Khan hung on. Refs shoukld let fighters work instead of breaking teh action and starting again. Otherwise it would have been too esay for Khan to Jab move and hold. This time he had to fight him off and he showed abit of panic under pressure.

Good fight. Khan proved his chin but needs to learn how to fight a guy whos on him all the time because he hadnt learnt thelesson from Maidana.

I wonder if he will finally fight Prescott now they are both coming off losses.

[superheavyrhun]

Was out in town and I managed to stay out until the Khan fight was on, but honestly can't remember too much about it. I'll have to watch it again to get a real handle on how it went.
