Dude the reason he was gassed is because he was eating punches all night while chasing Amir around. No conditioning coach is going to fix that.I was chatting it up with some fellow boxingscene'rs on facebook tonight after the fight, and I said something similar.
Imagine if Lamont Peterson had a conditioning coach as good as Ariza or Hernandez, if he had the energy level to fight the final two rounds like he did the 7th and 8th?
We wouldn't even have to deal with these twits shouting "robbery" right now, as it would have been utterly academic.
He gave his all, but let's not pretend he's better than he is.
It's like Roach said, Ricky Hatton was in the fight for 6 rounds. Go tell him you know more about boxing.
Peterson only won 4 rounds, he was outdone in the rest (you can call the final round even if you want to take the b/s pushing crap into account)Comment

1.) I concede that he was gassed from chasing Khan all night. But that means you admit that Khan ran most of the closing rounds. Thanks for that.Dude the reason he was gassed is because he was eating punches all night while chasing Amir around. No conditioning coach is going to fix that.

2.) I don't know more about boxing than Freddie Roach - I just score fights better than him, apparently. And how does his opinion of the scoring of that fight matter? He hates Floyd, and fears him more than anything on planet Earth.
The only thing that kept Hatton in that fight was his footwork, which is highly underrated, IMO. Take that away, and he'd have been dusted off long before he actually was.
But like I said - You had Hatton winning on the cards at the time of the KO.
That alone is reason enough to hand in your "unofficial judge" license, and STFU about close fights.Comment
