HBO announcer bias is getting out of hand...

[illmaticfighter]

it was a close fight people should take away that knockdown and that last point deduction.

i will rewatch the fight and score it properly,but Peterson really impressed me tonight and win/lose or draw got himself a hell of a lot more fans tonight.

but i find it funny how the uk fans say froch won his fight and khan won this fight (clearly) when both khan and dirrell basically fought the same fight but khan got hit a 100 times more clearly than dirrell did also how floyd's a runner but khan is a boxer lol just nutt huggery to it's finest.

I would agree with calling it a draw, though.

What nobody is really addressing here is this....

Yes, the referee was garbage. But he scored Khan with a knockdown in the first round that replay clearly showed was a trip : Khan landed a hook as Lamont was trying to retreat with Amir's leg behind him, so the shot caused Peterson to trip over Khan's leg going backwards.

Take that into mind, and Peterson was only "gifted" one point by the referee. And I don't really see that as a gift, either. As the referee warned Khan multiple times about pushing and holding Peterson's head down.

Granted he should have called a timeout to officially warn Amir that he was close to having a point deducted as all referees do, but one point deduction was clearly warranted, IMO.

Whenever Mayweather pushes off with his arms, most of you guys are the first to cry about him using his elbows.

I agree, thought, I think the point deduction should have been for holding the head down, not pushing, and Kahn was really doing that way to much.

I think 1 point was warranted, given the amount and blatant manner in which he was going about it.

The 1st point just evened things out for the bad KD call.

how the hell you gonna stick your jab out when the guy has his head in your face?

that's why you push him off , get space and throw punches.

Khan lost get over it

peterson was doing nothing illegal. just good pressure. it's not peterson's fault his pressure was effective and khan couldn't keep him at a safe distance. it's khan's fault! going and breaking the rules was the only way khan could keep him away hence the point deductions.

Lampley was AWFUL tonight. I honestly felt like I was listening to Khan's promoter/childhood friend/father the entire fight. I thought Max, who usually keeps it real, was pretty reasonable. Merchant was Merchant.

Lately, it's like Lampley has abandoned all pretense of being a neutral announcer....pac-marquez, cotto-margarito and now this.....

Max is reasonable, but the dude is clearly becoming more and more of a company man with every fight....
