Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson Unseats Amir Khan, Wins The Titles

[chiguy91]

i thought khan won but those point deductions were indeed crucial to the outcome. rematch in vegas or something.

So much for all his hubristic statements about how he would beat Mayweather!

yeah he can pretty much calm that mayweather **** down now. lol

Well done Peterson.

Immature performance from Khan. Instead of Bradley and Mayweather he should be looking at Hatton and Prescott.

I agree. Not much class shown by Amir. Great runner though.
As for the referee...I've never seen a point deduction in the 12th round.
Strange. Still, Lamont deserved the win.

If you seriously think Compubox numbers have anything to do with how a fight is scored then you should stick to watching amateur boxing, as you clearly know nothing about the professional game.

I was making a point to the people who always point to Compubox numbers to justify the person who won.
The fight was close even without the point deductions and could have gone either way to a draw.
Glad Khan got exposed though, there really is no discussion on who the king of 140 now.
I'll let you stick to your butthurt about Khan losing though

I've had it with Khan. No class. Rios or Ortiz would eat him alive.

Peterson made it close, but for anyone to say this was not a home town call....you are just a hater or a ***** (likely both). Amir clearly won this fight, and Peterson looked great, and determined, but lets pretend for a second, Floyd doesnt exist (though thats nightmares for some of you)....Amir was battling the ref as much as Peterson. Its always funny how when you have something so obvious like this....the commission and ref are rushed out and go MIA....just saying.

The ref not taking any points from Khan would have been tantamount to what Russell Mora did in Agbeko vs Mares I. Amir clearly LOST the fight by assuming he would get preferential treatment and fighting like an amateur. All that looking at the ref and whining/holding because Pete's head was low? Jumping on Pete's back like a low-calorie BHop? Take yo punk A$$ back to the UK with that. It's a shame that a ref does the RIGHT thing for once and gets treated like he was a turncoat mob ref or something. De La jumped up and pointed at the ref like 'you're a dead man'. I'd be out too! The ref did miss a couple of low blows by Pete but still.

Haven't seen the fight yet, but I expected Peterson to give Khan a good fight and it's awesome to see a fighter like him get a nod like this. Maybe I'll feel different after I watch it, LOL.

Now Bradley will probably jump all over this fight.

Ironic considering you call yourself a "fan" not a "fanboy" lmao Kahn lost, get over it.

Every single Sky commentator scored it to Peterson, albeit only by one round, and they're all British. So do you think they're all *****s or haters or both?

I think even with the 2 points (which were the deciding factor sadly), I still had Amir winning. Not taking nothing away from Peterson, but i saw Peterson tire out in later rounds. I didnt see it on SKY so i cant comment on it. Can you tell me more or less how they saw and discussed it?
