Wow this video is quite shocking! After Amir khan's team check the video footage of the fight they spot a man who isn't an official, interfering with the judges scorecard and talking/distracting judges during the fight.
Remember it is against the rules for any non official to make any contact with the judges during the fight .
It's really sad to see this happening in the sport we love so much. Hope corruption like this stops very soon!
What do you think of the video?

as much as hate Khan for being cry baby... damn, Khan have a point on this one and this really looks fishy.
yea to be honest don't even like the ****er he's arrogant and annoying but he's right in this. if this happened to an irish fighter i'd be going ape****, as it is I'm just pissed that a fighter got screwed by some guy having a love in with the judges. I think peterson should just give him the rematch in a neutral venue and prove he can beat him without all the homecooking.
Bro this is boxingscene
Speak first, read thread post after.
After hearing so many claims of robberies in the sport, someone points out something fishy, and when a hater is involved, it no longer matters.
yeah thats abut the size of it
People saying it doesn't matter I think kahn lost anyway are mising the point probably through blind hatred of Kahn. Something is very rotten here and I for one want to see fair fights not ones where one guy has to fight both the opponent the ref and some dude with his arm around the judges.
whats more shocking is that people who have the gall to call themselves boxing fans are actually defending it and saying kahn is the one in the wrong for pointing this BS out. UNBELIEVABLE

I hate Khan, i think he is a complete twat. But my hate is not blinding me from the fact that there are definitely some questions that need answering here.
. Why did the scores take so long?
. Why did the scorecards get changed from a Khan win to a Peterson win?
. Who is that guy talking to the judge and leaning over and touching his card?
Definitely something fishy going on here.
In a few hours time this should all be done and dusted as the IBF and WBA need to step up and say something to save face big time as they have both just been questioned publicly by Khan via his Twitter and a load of national UK newspapers.
If this guy is genuine and accountable Khan will have just made a monumental cock up of the the highest order and the amount of people wanting to see him KO'd will rise rapidly lol
If the Hatman is dodgy then it's going to be an interesting weekend of drama. Either way who needs TV when you have this drama lol
Man compubox can be a joke sometimes. khans punches are weak. thats why peterson was able to walk right through them. sure khan landed slightly more but peterson punches were harder and more effective. And i mean effective because khan was backing up all night. If khan was boxing he would have moved in circles, side stepped, etc. When he took one step back against prescott he got dropped, when he backed up against maidana he got caught and roughed up, and with peterson he went straight back to the ropes. Boxing is not being backed into the ropes and getting caught with punches. He's only effective when he comes forward and throws punches in bunches, not when hes backing up and running all over the place. he looked terrible.
I don't think either of them hit particularly hard, but Peterson took more time loading up on his shots.
Khan did look terrible at times, but Peterson looked inactive in comparison taking too long to load up on his punches while Khan would fire 2 or 3 into his face.
Can you show stats on this 200 more punches landed??I call your full of sh!t..Maybe Khan threw 200 more punches then Peterson,he did not land 200 more tho..
I checked and you're right.
Peterson still didn't win more than 4 rounds for me though, Khan was much the busier fighter and despite some of the amateur things he did, I felt he won this fight clearly.
I find some of the replies in this thread quiet shocking. We may of just witnessed some major corruption in our favorite sport, live and on camera and all some people say is "**** khan", "khans a *****". Pathetic. Put aside your feelings for the fighter and look at the issue in hand. Paying fans deserve a fair fight and i think something stinks here.
the ref was not even watching the fight yet scored the rounds to peterson after having talks with thos mystery man
this is just blatant corruption, he then hands judges a paper which they all read
this is just a disgrace
edit
the same mystery man is then seen celebrating with peterson when they won the fight, no way. this is disgusting
Agreed. Dude whines too much but he may have some sort of point. WBA said they will have a response within 24 hours.
I know right but I mean even if he is part that is still shady as hell. First out of pure principle the ref was looking away as fight went on!!!! :poke::poke: Come on now that definitely affects your scoring. THEN not only that but he was being talked to by a guy who was pointing DIRECTLY at his card while the fight was going on what the hell for real lol. I would be pissed as hell if i saw this and I was khan. Damn this kind of gives you goosebumps lol sheet shady world. Imagine what goes on behind the scenes.
I was also getting a little bit pissed with Khan's constant moaning, but after watching the video and seeing the interference first hand, Khan has every right to flag up claims of corruption. Something very fishy was going on, that cannot be doubted.
Well done to Khan for spotting it himself. Im not a fan of his but I belive in justice.i don't think khan spotted this it was his fans on twitter that brought it to his attention.
