Comments Thread For: Peterson Has No Fear of Khan's Speed, Power or Roach

[Rocky Rode]

Peterson's only loss is too one of the best fighters in the division. He's a worthy challenger and this fight won't be easy for Khan. Especially since it's going to be in Peterson's hometown.

I still expect Khan to win, but an upset wouldn't surprise.

Do you think Peterson should try to box Khan and time in coming in or pressure him and try to get on the inside of Khan ?

I think he would be better suited to pressure and get inside. Khan's constant movement and fast hands will certainly make it difficult though.

He has to try to time him. He did a very good job against Ortiz of timing him when he moved to throw, he should try to do the same because Khan's has the size and is likely going to make Peterson come to him most the time. Also, work the body if ever Khan gets against the ropes.

Khan's showed a Pac like tendency to lunge in with combinations lately, Peterson has to make him pay.

Peterson has a problem with volume which is the way Khan fights. I believe Peterson has to be first and work Khans body on the inside. Khan relies on his speed, fast foot movement, distance and reach. Khan doesn't have good defense. Khan comes at you with a jab and followed with volume. To keep from getting hit by something coming back, he pushed the back of your neck down. There’s a punch that Khan is subject to. The over right hand and that's how Madiana caught him more than once because he fights with his head in the air. On paper from my understanding, Peterson has the reach advantage but gives that up a little because he’s an inch shorter. Peterson is my boy but I don’t see him winning this fight.

Yeah Khan jumps in with his combinations just like Pacquiao and Peterson has the ability to catch him coming in.

I think he should mix it up between timing him and being the aggressor.

Khan's speed, workrate and movement will make it tough though.

Why would anyone be afraid of Roach? Outside of matching his fighters with names on the downside of their careers, what else does he offer? Heck, he couldn't even tell Pac to take a lateral step to his right after throwing against JMM to avoid being blasted with counter right hands over and over and over again.

not Roach as a trainer, he's VERY pver rated but Khan will just pick Peterson apart...Pete has no chance to win unless the sky falls on Khan...

I think Peterson should do a lil of both,but he should use his jab and move forward to get inside on Khan(Peterson has a great Jab)..Khan is yet to prove he can fight going backwards,if I'm Peterson I make him go backwards and stay on his chest on the inside...
