Lamont Peterson a well deserved winner, and im shocked how aggressive Lamont Peterson was.

Me too, but it was great to see him show that versatility. I wasn't expecting him to do it, but that is clearly the way you fight Khan. His handspeed is too much, so get in close and try to grind him down. Khan tires and gets sloppy and Peterson made it his fight.

I'm shocked at how split down the middle people are about this.. It's 50/50 on whether it was fair or not.

I don't see what there is to debate about, Amir Khan clearly kept pushing Lamont Peterson. He was warned plenty of times and finally got a point deduction warranted, he was also pushing Lamont's Peterson's head down constantly, and was also clinching frequently. Again he was warned numerous times and finally got another point deduction warranted again.

Amir Khan was the one looking uncomfortable, running and clinching. Lamont Peterson never took a backward step, hurt and stunned Amir Khan numerous times. And showed he wanted it more and that's basically it nothing else to discuss.
