Hmmm...Looks like we have to listen to him whineing and *****ing for months to come...The pushing seems like a bad habit that he's picked up...Bad habits are hard to break..They better fix that as im sure he'll get picked up on that again.
My issue isn't so much with the ref in this fight as it is with the judges, I felt Khan won despite the deductions.
That said, deducting points for pushing is virtually unheard of and if you're going to do take points for it then take the fighter aside and make it known, shouting 'stop pushing' while they're fighting doesn't really cut it imo.
I have no issue with inside fighting, but I have no issue with pushing either truth be told.
Cortez's performance in '07 was from another world, trust me, you don't want to get me started on that. :)
The ref took him multiple times, and then said last time... Then called time, deducted a point, said stop pushing... Again..
And guess what?
He still kept doing it over and over.
He didnt get a point deducted for pushing, he got it for excessive pushing and after multiple warnings, and again after a point deduction and he continued anyway.
I swore he Larry asked him if Khan if the ref warned him in the interview after the fight and Khan said yes...
Your right, Larry did ask Khan if he was warned, and Khan did say yes, Khan was fouling all through the fight, he should of had points dedutcted for pushing Peterson head down all the time, not to meantion getting Peterson in a head lock through out the fight.
Hey Weebler, for how long have you been arguing that the ref ruined the Hatton/Mayweather fight by not letting them inside and not warning for the pushing and elbows? This ref did and you now say that he's wrong?
:nonono:

Overall the fight scored well by the judges BUT the referee did a bad job. He took 2 points away from Khan which was BS and he took 1 point from Peterson counting a KD that was actually a trip. He also tripped Peterson himself which thankfully wasn't called a KD.
Those pushing points are total BS but at the same time I can see how 1 point for holding Petersons head should've been enforced a bit more.
BOO HOO HOO, Poor Khan. That referee was so unfair and that a hole Peterson kept pushing me around. Doesn't HE KNOW Who I am???
I'm God's gift to the World and bigger than Boxing it self.
I should be allowed to push if there's no other way of me keeping the guy off me.. at least until I learn to box instead. I should of fought home where I would of been allowed to do my thing!!
he said lets start this thunder,and the fact you were hoping he said something else without listening..
you hav to be a stupid MF not to understand him clearly saying stop pushing...even fighters who dont speak english can understand a refs hand gestures you are ****ing retarded:yeah:
Get a sense of humor
The ref never did give him a hard warning. Bottom line the point deductions = bs. Good fight, do the rematch khan.
The ref didn't give him a hard warning e.g. Stopping the fight n saying thts a hard warning but 20 warnings throughout the fight must b the same as a hard warning. On ringside they showed highlights of the fight n I heard the judge 4 times warn khan.
But did the ref say push again and i'll deduct points? But i suppose he got a point deducted and then pushed again. So maybe its a habbit.
It doesn't matter, Khan won the fight even with the deductions.
I don't blame him for complaining, that's what you're supposed to do when there's an injustice, otherwise the crooks win and that's not how life works.
He might hear it but it's clearly not going in, he doesn't even look or glance at him (the ref) in the video, he's focused on Peterson.
I think most, on HBO and on here, have flagged up the type of warning the ref should have given Khan so in that sense he has a point imo. I'll leave it there on that one.
Pretty obvious hard last warning there guys. "Last time. Last warning. Stop pushing"
I love that though. Next people are going to start saying "Well, he should have called time out then". Yeah, because he really needed to call time out after warning him time after time after time, then telling him it was his last time. Time outs don't happen very often, unless it's a headbutt, or low blow where the guy is hurt.

i actually agree with khan here. i couldn't understand the ref and khan is a foreigner so i doubt he could either. the ref said something like "DON'T STEP IN MAH THUNDER!" before the fight started but then i guess khan did step in his thunder which would piss me off i know that. that's my thunder why you stepping in it bro?

Have you ever seen Foreman VS Frazier I? Foreman pushed Frazier dozens of times and he never got a warning or points taken away. WHatsup with that?
Well, that fight was a little shorter.
And had Foreman been given several warnings followed by a last warning and still continued to push I'd say he might have had a point taken.
