Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: This Was Another Wake Up Call For Me

[Filo]

Khan punches didn't discourage Peterson from walking him down.Except for one time. I saw Khan really had a go and clobbered Peterson instead of that useless pitty pat punches he was throwing all through out the fight.It seems he has it in him just needs to be more consistent.

what a prat!

I like watching Khan, but: a) Those weren't 'little mistakes'. He has glaring holes in his inside game that need to be addressed, b) Peterson doesn't owe him anything, much less an immediate rematch. Stop taking like you call the shots, and build your way back up before you start banging on about Mayweather again, c) The refereeing/judging wasn't great, but it wasn't 'disgusting' by any means. His excuses are making him sound pathetic.

Kahn needs to spend more time praying to Allah and less time crying to the press.

How many "wake-up calls" is this guy gonna need before he stops treating his career like a bed and breakfast?

Sure this is another wake up call but Amir must know what he needs to fix. If he's going to complain about robbery then he won't really fix the problem.

I saw the fight again and felt that the fight was even. Considering the two points deducted, I agree with the 113-112 scores and totally disagree with 115-110 score.

I think the main issue here is that Amir started celebrating before the scores were announced. Also, being HBO and the promoter's guy, Amir felt entitled to special treatment.

Amir says he was a clean fighter but he kept pushing Peterson's head down, pushing constantly and he hit Peterson during a break - how clean is that.
Also after being penalized in round 7, Amir kept doing exactly what he was penalized for. How then does he complain when he's penalized again?

No need to wake up Amir, you can sleep with Oscar all you like!

Remove the knocked down that was a trip, and the point deductions... and If you go round for round scoring... it's a draw, it you look at the over all fight and judge, Peterson won... Peterson landed more power shots and cleaner punches in all the rounds he won... Khan won rounds cause he pitty pat and ran, holding Peterson's head down so he wouldnt get hit with the body shots. Khan had one clear round easily won, all the others were because Peterson didnt land as much but when he did land it was hard shots.
