Poll:In your opinion did Khan win the Peterson Fight?

[Ray Corso]

Throwing alot of punches is important in the amatuers in the pros "effective" punches count more. The challenger chased the champ all over the ring and made the match a fight. He easily controled the action and initiated it throughout the fight. The champ was a mover however he also "ran" alot and that should never be witnessed when your supposed to be a high level boxer. This is another fighter who can't or simply won't pull the trigger and look to wear his opponent down, he waits an waits, then the fights over and he actually thinks he won? Another guy who is raised on hitting hand mitts and looks like Sugar Ray Robinson doing it except Sugar Ray never used that crap as a main ingredient in his training and only very few fighters actually bring that technique into their fights. Mostly a bunch of nothing, to help pump up a fighter, a waste of time!
The NEW champ won and it wasn't close at all! The more talented athlete lost but the better fighter won. Dump 75% of the time wasted on hand pads and go the heavy bag and learn how to use your body with your punch so you can break down your opponents desires. This can become a world of wills most times and running away just doesn't cut unless you can make the guy miss 95% of the time. You fight to take it, and you fight to keep it! Ray

I thought Peterson won it, but it was close. Khan was taking a beating.

[the_ilest]

lamont took it.

dodgy fight imo. no knockdown when peterson went down and 2 weird point deductions. i had khan winning by 1 round. definitely needs to be a rematch

[Money_May]

Amir khan won. When people post there scorecards more people had khan winning. This just picking makes you say who you wanted to win, if you score round by round and post scorecards khan wins. I had it 114-111 khan

This just picking makes you say who you wanted to win,

You are making a big statement there. Where does it say anything like that in the original post?

"There is a poster here on Boxingscene that keeps on making comments like "The general concensus is Khan won and if there was a poll it would show it."
Is he right?


In YOUR opinion who won the fight or was it a draw?"

[frosty-g]

His attributes out-weighs his faults but he needs to use his legs less, and throw more meaningful punches. He also needs to work on his defense. He gets hit a bit too much.

atrocious footwork, not so great power, crap defence-
but he is fast.
-doesn't do much right does he?

no wonder he lost.

[damned1974]

I believe the judges saw a few things-

1-Amir would throw a lot of amateur punches as opposed to solid shots from Peterson.

2-Amir was running and retreating then would stay on the ropes, get pounded more and run even more.

3- Amir would push, hold behind the head and hit,etc because he had no answer to the inside game of Lamont.He was warned from round 1 all the way to round 7, and still continued to do this...he has himself to blame for the deductions.

These three things worked against Khan.

If I am Lamont,I protest the knockdown and the decision for a rematch from the WBA-which is what I hear he is doing...

From a fan point of view however,I would like to see a rematch.The first fight cannot be called a robbery as it was a close fight anyways.

I had it real close but I don't think it was a bad decision, Khan fought a ****** fight. It is better he found out how good he is this way than another Prescott showing. Now he can fight another day.

[The Noose]

Just rewatched it.

I had it too close to call. There were a coupleof rounds that could have gone either way imo, then add to that the point deductions and the 1st round knockdown. There was no clear winner.

Khan also did so much fouling. Plus i noticed the infamous 'man in the hat' at ringside throughout nearly the whole fight. What the *** was that about??
