Official Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson & undercards RbR discussion thread...

[John Barron]

Here's the thing though, these were key factors for keeping the fight close enough for something like this to happen:

- Khan started the fight as the aggressor then it looked like he felt a punch and started running when in reality he just adapted and started boxing. Giving the wrong impression to the judges.

- Khan started boxing but he doesn't know how to box good enough to rely on it... he literally ran a few times. Like he actually ran.

- Lamont actually ran after him... literally lol.

- Khan stayed on the ropes and gave Lamont chances to look like he was landing hard shots when in reality they weren't hurting Khan.

- Lamont took advantage of Khan's poor boxing and charged after him making it look like he was suffocating him - he did this till the very last bell.

Was Khan the superior fighter tonight? In my opinion, he was the more dominant fighter. Stats will argue that Peterson was more effective but Khan was more dominant.

NOW, you are fighting in his hometown and you are running. Then you get 2 points taken away and keep running with poor boxing skills. 1-2-3 overrun, 1-2-3 overrun, 1-2-3-4 run like a whore.

These things were huge to the judges, specially when the fight was taking place in Washington.

Khan put the fight in a place for something like this to happen.

... hi bombs.

Not true. He's left at least 5 milly on the table so far that he could be getting interest on now.

........He cleared more than a mil to tax Casa....Khan lost his spot at #1 (I guess) in the 140 division and now Bradley may get a shot at Pac if not another million dollar payday to work over some overmatched opponent. Khan has to rebuild......again, while Bradley looks like the underdog, come from behind, winner.

If he ends up fighting Pac (either due to Mayweather being scared or Arum being greedy) instead of Mayweather, he will clear nearly 5 mill or more for that fight alone.

He is already looking better than Khan as of this moment....easy work......the art of fighting without fighting.

anybody that screams "ROBBERY" need their a$$ kicked

it was a close fight...Khan did TOO MUCH RUNNING IMO, Peterson was the AGGRESSOR ALL NIGHT also was relentless to the body

fight honestly could have went EITHER WAY

Also Khan allowing Peterson to get him on the Ropes and Flurry did not help, as for the points...Khan is lucky he did not get DQ'd, he was PUSHING ALL NIGHT, it is one then to bump your opponent off of you but it is another thing when you EXTEND BOTH HANDS TO PUSH OFF!

anyway GREAT FIGHT, I am sure it will be a REMATCH which I would LOVE TO SEE!

Brilliant post. Im a brit/pakistani and i had Peterson 1, maybe 2 at the most up. Everyone in the Brit broadcast also felt Peterson won. I think Khan lost this fight himself, his tactics were just crazy. He should have just done what he seems to be good at and ran for 12 rounds lol. Was a bit un classy from Khan at the end also

Khan: "The judge didn't even warn me."

Pretty sure I remember a bunch of warnings.
