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

[Swice]

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.

CFH really ? ref warned Khan about pushing atleast 10 times, and Khan was also holding like an octopus those point deduction's were warranted.

He refused to call a break, what else was Khan supposed to do?

I see your point. It is just the way it is. The ref dissliked all the pushing and did not care about peterson putting his head in. If you lean and push into someone you have to expect to be pushed off. I enjoyed the fight but Khan was too negative. I had the score pretty much as the judges had it. I dont think any points should have been taken and I dont think the first knock down should have been counted. Which would have made the fight a draw.
I think the next time they fight it should be in vegas and have a different ref. So they can just get on with the fight and we dont get any bullsh#t.
Good fight needs to happen again. Will be interesting to see how each fighters game plan changes.
