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.

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.
