no. . . i agree with what bringer said; it wasn't a robbery because Peterson put up such a good fight. . . so it's not really fair to him.. .
but at the same time, it is completely legitimate to question outside factors such as judging and refereeing as biased; in that, the judges gave the close rounds to the hometown fighter who had the fans "cheering". . . i think khan clearly, but CLOSELY won the fight. . . i just can't find 6 rounds to give to peterson. . .
moreover, the chances that a ref would have docked khan points for pushing in a neutral venue are VERY SLIM. . . you heard what smoger said, probably the best in the business. . . i just don't tihnk it's fair when referees get involved in such close fights over such trivial "fouls". . technically it's a foul to clinch. . .
in conclusion, it wasn't a robbery, but khan was not given a fair shake. . .
