WOW Buffer had the scorecards and told khan he won

Ohhh this thread again. So you Think its fair if they left the scorecards as they were giving khan 10-8in the seventh round despite the point deduction and him clearly losing? Then this would be an actual robbery instead of one person crying and unwilling to accept reality

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. . . Here's where 99% of the silly arguments fail: 1. Either the referee called a foul that didn't exist 2. The referee was wrong to enforce the rules of boxing 3. The judges were wrong in calling the fight as they saw it #1. Cannot be a valid complaint in this particular fight because the video clearly shows Khan pushing, elbowing and holding his opponents head down numerous times per round. All are infractions and rule violations in boxing. #2. Every referee is given the authority to enforce the rules of boxing per their discretion. If an infraction occurs numerous times during a fight then the referee is obligated to enforce the rules. Is an infraction occurred and the referee deducted a point for it, then he enforced the rules of boxing and no valid complaint can be lodged. #3. There are always three judges at every fight, to offer balance -- Because every judge is allowed to call the fight as they see it. This is an opinionated process and is allowed according to the rules of boxing. Therefore, neither Khan, nor anyone else can file an appeal, simply because their opinion of the fight differs from the judges. Summary: Khan does not have a case for complaint or appeal.

Buffer is a known drunk,who also got Peterson's rec wrong while announcing him...

Everybody needs to take a solemn, quiet moment to shed a single tear for the injustice done to Amir Khan. http://incolor.inetnebr.com/tgannon/grfs/CryInd.jpg

You obviously did. Khan was constantly looking over to the ref when Peterson was coming in with his head. But the ref did nothing. He also failed to warn Peterson for low blows. Dude, it's only illegal to come in with your head if you are dropping your head below the waist. Plenty of great fighters use a low-head strategy to get inside: Tyson, Holyfield, Bradley (questionable), Frazier, and even Pryor used the technique. You need to read the rules more. Khan was *****ing about something that wasn't even an issue. Also there was no purposeful low-blows and not enough of them to be an issue. You sound like Amir Khan yourself making **** up.

:bottle::bottle: the above....

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. . . The venue has nothing to do with it. The bottom line here is that pushing an opponet in boxing is illegal, and Khan was warned multiple times by the referee verbally before he took points from him for doing so. We just don't see many referees in boxing ballsy enough to enforce the rules with as much force as was the case in the Khan/Peterson fight. Typically referees just warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, and never take a point for clinching or pushing. So we're all "used to" (for lack of a better term) it being "acceptable". It's not. It's illegal conduct, for which Khan was warned repeatedly, and in spite of which, he continued to do so. I want more referees like that dude. (I already forget his name.)

if a guy is coming in with his head first........punch it! peterson wasn't headbutting you so you cant complain about a foul that didn't even happen. nothing illegal about making your opponent uncomfortable. get joe cortez to ref all your fights ya little baby or maybe sven ottk's ref who doesn't let his opponents punch him.

Your illusions aside ...... "Khan stated that he was HEADBUTTED several times" When did this occur, what round\timeframe ??? this part made me chuckle out loud gracias!

If Kahn is gonna complain, as least make a credible complaint, like Peterson's open and liberal use of his elbow and forearms. But eff it, sh*t is almost as bad as when dude got KTFO by Prescott

Losing respect for Khan by the second.

ive watched the replay on HBO twice more during the week, and both times i scored it 7-5 khan. . . and i was even playing "hometown favorite" by giving peterson round 2. . watching the fight live, i gave it to khan. . . but i guess it's a close enough round where could go either way. . . mad props to peterson for fighting his heart out, but khan won that fight. . . The bottom line is that it was a close fight, and anybody that thinks otherwise, or labels it a "robbery" is likely under the age of 18, or has only recently started following the sport. Khan could have ran away with it, had he actually had an inside game. But he doesn't, and he didn't. I don't think any genuine boxing fan could honestly state, that either fighter won that fight convincingly. The fanboy's take on the fight is another story. And that's what makes for a great fight -- But when the loser cries excessively like Khan is doing in this instance, it really diminishes the fight. It was a fight that either could have won, but it would seem that only Peterson was ready to accept that reality.

It was hometown decision. I dont think its a hard fight to score at all. Its 4-4 after 8 and then Khan wins the later rounds. But I would feel uncomfortably calling it a robbery givin the way Peterson performed.None of the judges were even from DC and the crowd was 50/50 it seemed like.

The bottom line is that it was a close fight, and anybody that thinks otherwise, or labels it a "robbery" is likely under the age of 18, or has only recently started following the sport. Khan could have ran away with it, had he actually had an inside game. But he doesn't, and he didn't.

Watch the fight and wait for the ref to warn Peterson for his head. Case Closed!!!!!!!

I am so tired of the whining. Enough already. Amir, you lost. Sh*t is worse than Montell Griffin's "I wasn't warm" excuse when he got KTFO by Roy.

Peterson was ducking low and coming up with his head throughout the fight. The referee even warned his corner for it but he never came close to deducting points apparently. What! Are you a-mear-Con in disguise? You're spouting the same nonsense, the exact same way ..... :bottle: Point me to one actual head-butt that occurred during the fight.

Actually, I had no problem with that draw. Granted I had Hopkins up by a point or two (I don't remember my particular score for that one, as it was on my birthday, and I was drunk.), but I didn't mind the draw. Stop making silly assumptions that just because I have "favorites" that I automatically favor them when I score a fight. That's childish bullsh*t.

Peterson was ducking low and coming up with his head throughout the fight. The referee even warned his corner for it but he never came close to deducting points apparently. Peterson never once headbutted Khan as a result of coming in with his head low. Furthermore, it's not against the rules to come in with your head down, unless it is below the waist, which it obviously wasn't. Brush up on the rules of the game.
