khans garbage

well let's all give khan credit... atleast he lasted longer than 54 seconds this time

DC is a tough town and Philly (where one of the refs is from) is a tough town and NC where the other close ref was from also appreciates tough fighters. Khan ran all night and although he landed clean counter shots, did not land effective (made lp stop) punches. Plus DC is a tough town!!! Although I think crowd was split, they appreciated hard punches vs pretty combinations. In the words of Lampley (who I hate) effective aggression wins fights!

Okay, he's at least as good as Ortiz then. It was a draw, and a fight Peterson dominated down the stretch. Most likely he wins if it went 12.

Ortiz would not destroy Khan. People forget who Ortiz is.

I never said anything about Ortiz destroying Khan, but I would favor Ortiz to beat him. It makes no sense to declare Peterson a better fighter than Ortiz when he didn't even beat him.

Didnt see SKY. If Joe Cooper was going to deduct Amir....he has to be consistent with it. Lamont was running in head low frequently, and ref just gave him the same amount of warnings it would seem that he gave Amir for so called pushing.

P.S. Yes i do like Floyd. Im a fan of his, just not a raging ***** that is anti everything Pac and Roach, and has an IQ of a cricket.

At the end of the day he knew Peterson had his head low, boxing 101 move side to side, work his body while he is low and give some uppercuts,Khan had the uppercuts working earlier and stopped it.The ref still was warning him after he first deduction and Khan was doing it.the reason Peterson didn't get as many warnings was he was working or Khan had move and used the ring. It could have gone either way in my opinion i f it was like Peterson had many more rounds you can say it was robbery but two rounds isnt robbery. All the guys on sky sports were noticing the Khan was tired and was running more and were saying he needs to stand firm

Khan got worked over on the ropes.

I don't know what fight you were watching.

Call me crazy....but I COUNT BODYSHOTS...

Bodyshots!?!? In 2011 nonetheless? Heresy!

[Slick561]

no offense but now Khan knows how Maidana felt when they were fighting.

OK.......fair is fair....i hate pacquaio and i think marquez beat him convincingly. I hate Khan but i feel even with the point deductions he won this fight. I was so happy when the decision was read cause i hate Khan's ****iness.....but he won this fight guys....

[Realizniguhnit]

excuses....But that second fall was not really a knockdown so he would have still lost, that was clearly a slip

Excuses for who? Truth be told dude khan won that fight had it not been for the deductions and I really don't even like khan but I'm not biased either the fight pretty much went just like I expected aside from the decision.. I'm just saying khan needs to forget about mayweather cuz he's not on that level and stay at lightweight cuz he's not quite a welter yet

Even the judge who gave peterson the nod had khan winning aside from the point deductions taking 2 pts away making his score 113-112, don't get any clearer than that but I'm happy for peterson I'm no hater

Good fight. Khan has nobody to blame but himself. i'm stationed in Germany so I had to watch it via SKY sports, even his own British people said it was a close fight and they aren't mad it went to Peterson. Haha they actually said Khan needed to stop running. Can't wait for the rematch

Damn.

You're underestimating Peterson, just like everyone did before the fight. He's better than Ortiz or Berto. Finally he has the big fight to prove it.

He got more skills than Ortiz and Berto but they're faster and hit harder.

Iv'e been saying for a while that none of the current 140 pounders could go to 147 and beat these two @ that weight, just don't see it.

I'd pick Guerrero and Bradley to beat them.

[PEBBLES!]

Another exciting HBO appearance for Amir Khan, BTW; this just doesn't hurt him so much at all outside of the May/Pac league - people are gonna want to see the rematch and to see Khan again in general, because he makes for edge-of-seat action more often than not.
