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

[Mars_ax]

The card starts @ 9:45 PM ET Saturday night here in the States on HBO beginning with The Cotto vs. Margo II re-play, i'm not sure but Box nation might show this card starting at 2:45 AM Sunday morning in the UK/Europe.

If Khan is as good as his fanboys believe he is, Peterson should be a walk in the park for him. I'll be curious to see if Lamont is much of a test, but I don't expect him to cause Khan much grief. (I can hope)

December 10th
At Washington, D.C. (HBO): Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson, 12 rounds, for Khan's WBA/IBF junior welterweight title; Seth Mitchell vs. Timur Ibragimov, 10 rounds, heavyweights.

It's in Peterson's hometown, but thats as much as he's gonna get in this fight for me.

Amir should be taking care of this guy without too much trouble imo.

I say Lamont gives him a few problems early on but neglects to change his style to stop the speed of khan, or adjusts to anything Khan does and just tries to survive to the final bell.

Khan has fanboys?

Khan is a bluff , he was selecting carefully his opponents ,only fought the ones with no power punch , he made a mistake this time , every body saw him loosing.

Did he not fight Maidana then?

Khan fought some tough comp but he is not as good as people seem to think he is. Like green and cfh saying he own Bradley is laughable he has no inside game at all Bradley would eat him up.

Peterson is not a big puncher but he can box a bit. It's not a bad opponent for Amir Khan but Khan should win. Peterson doesn't have a great punch and Khan can punch a bit. I like Khan by ko, but I may change over the course of the week.

I hope Peterson does a "Prescott" on his punk ass.

I think Khan will win a competitive UD. Khan has the tools and needs to just put in a strong performance.

Peterson is a bit like a less good Khan in a lot of ways. Therefore I believe he can only win by KO and his punch power is average, so I dont think hes got much of a chance.
