    Fight out of it instead of pushing out, would be a good option.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    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.

    I can't say that I really give a shit that Khan lost, but the fact is, without the point deductions Peterson wouldn't have won this fight. And even with the point deductions, I still believe Khan won by a point, even a draw would have worked.
    I thought it might be a dumb move by Khan and Roach to fight Peterson in DC, as it turned out it was, I don't know WTF they were thinking.
    I'm glad Lamont finally won a title, but still.....
    I wouldn't mind seeing a re-match in Vegas or somewhere besides DC.

    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.

    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.

    That is exactly my point.

    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.

    Are you on E's?

    Calling a knockdown in the first, which was more of a coming together.

    Deciding not to call any breaks after about round 4

    Deciding to shout at Khan instead of calling breaks - whilst still letting Peterson throw punches.

    Not separating fighters properly when there was a clinch.

    Am I on drugs? Erm...nope.

    The ref was right as Khan was continually pushing at a fighter who was trying to fight inside. I have never seen a fighter invite the blow job as much as Khan did today. "Lean on me Lamont. Get a taste of this". Kinky devil!

    If a fighter is free and wailing away inside then let him, inside fighting is an art and not a crime.

    The ref was GOOD and the docked points justified. Khan fought like a plank and deserved what he got. He wilts under pressure and it showed again.

    That's not really my point. Inside fighting is fine. But the referee wasn't decisive or consistent with allowing it.

    The first four or 5 rounds, he called break decisively.

    After that, he would go to call a break, but stop halfway and and just yell stuff at Khan. That's not good refereeing. There were times were Khan was completely turned around on the ropes, and he still didn't call break. The odd time that he did, he didn't push either of the fighters back. This favoured Peteron hugely because he was the aggressor.

    I don't really see what Khan could have done any different really. It was a small ring and Peterson kept charging at him. Khan did the smart thing by holding, but the referee seemed to work everything into Peterson's favour. Maybe not intentionally, but it was a bit odd imo.

    You have to let the fighters work inside and if one person is holding and the other is making a go of it, then you should let him do a little work. Peterson wanted to fight, Khan didn't and this is fighting at the end of the day. I don't think it should be an option to push someone down all the time or push someone away. Just fight. It's Khan's own fault that he is so limited inside.
