nice breakdown and if Peterson aint to overwhelmed by Khans speed which i dont think he will be and makes this a fight on the inside in the latter half of the fight Khan could be in trouble coz on the inside and on the back foot he is a totaly diffrent fighter a very poor one. its all going to come down to withstanding Khans early onslaughts as they aint nearly as effective as the fight goes on where Peterson seems to go a steady pace and very paitient.

On those odds I'd put a little money on Peterson myself!

Definitely. No risk - no reward.
Has to be worth throwing a cheeky score on this one

Is Khans chin really that bad? It held up against Maidana who's a huge puncher. Okay everyone will always refer back to Prescott, however I dont think it was a chin issue, I think it was a hands down walk straight onto 2 shots issue as he under estimated Prescott and his power. Anyone probably would of been sat down by Prescott had they been hit with those shots. His chin hasn't been troubled since apart from the 10th against Maidana.

Couldn't agree more, I think the longer the fight goes the better chance Peterson has. He seems to come on stronger the longer the fight goes whilst Khan fades after 6.

Personally I'd say it sounds about right. Peterson just doesn't have the style or intensity to cause Khan any problems.

I don't think it's so much his chin, his temple area is where he's most vulnerable.
Maidana's a big hitter but quite overrated & he was pretty gassed but respect to Khan for surviving the onslaught.

Khan was dropped & down for 13secs against the feather fisted Willie Limmond.
He was dropped again heavily by career super featherweight Michael Gomez.
Knocked out in 30secs by a Columbian farmer.
Saved by the ref vs Maidana
Hell even Paulie Malignaggi buckled his legs & he has the power of a wet tissue.

Malignaggi didn't buckle Amere Con's legs lol, he did land a few good right hands early on but Con wasn't troubled at all.

yeah i had forgotten that when Limond clearly had him out for 10 but dodgy Dave Parris i think was the ref, he messed around for about 4 seconds then counted, ver sus that was, and against Maidana ppl forget get Khan was alomost out on his feet and he was alomst running away he was lucky as many fights have been stoped when a guy is as out of it as he was.

[any craic lad?]

Khans chin is fine at 140 at 135 he was probably draining himself.The odds are wide but not crazy Khan will win handily

[Rome-By-Ko]

I think the odds are out of wack a bit,but Khan should. Be favored,I expect Peterson to give Khan all he can handle tho..Have to give Khan credit for taken this fight..He did not have to and I. Think this will be a harder fight to win then his fight. With Maidana....
