Who won the Khan vs. Peterson fight ?

[J_C]

I'm surprised the majority have Peterson winning this. The best case scenario is for him is a 6-6 share of the rounds, which means Peterson wins by 1pt. And thats giving him the 10th and 11th which were the only 2 close rounds in the fight. The other 10 rounds were very easy to score

1,2 Khan
3,4 Peterson
5,6 Khan
7,8 Peterson
9 Khan
10,11 close rounds
12 Khan

Sure if you give Peterson the 2 close ones he wins by the 1pt but its much more likely overall % chancewise they split those close ones 1-1, have 1 for Peterson and 1 a draw, 1 for Khan and 1 a draw, both rounds a draw, or Khan winning both rounds. Theres 6 ways those rounds can be split (as above), only 1 sees Peterson winning the fight. 1 ends up with the fight a DRAW and 4 end up with Khan winning the fight. I think Khan can consider himself unfortunate to lose his titles as a result.

I havent seen many people mention Khan uppercutting Peterson after the ref called STOP in the 12th. It was clear as day, thats what the Pt should have been deducted for, not pushing. But by hook or crook, a point was deducted so justice was done. I also agree with Khan getting a point deducted elsewhere in the fight at some point for persistent fouling. Should the ref have made it more clear he was ready to deduct a point? Yes. But did Khan deserve a point taken? Yes. Imo the knockdown was pretty questionable but in liveplay I would have called it a KD too. So all in all, the points deductions and knockdown etc were fair enough imo.

I think the fairest scorecard for the fight was 113-112 Khan (so 7-5 Khan). I think he can consider himself unfortunate on the cards, though of course this is not a robbery of any kind.

This is the same as I saw it. Couldn't split them in the 10th but had Peterson in the 11th but both rounds could have gone either way
