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

[CFH]

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?

Fight out of it instead of pushing out, would be a good option.

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.
