If Peterson wants to come to the UK then Kudos to him, Khan went to Peterson's hometown for this fight so credit to Khan, Bradley took the short end of the money so he doesnt have to go to Peterson's hometown...we should admire boxers who have everything to lose but are still willing to go into their opponents backyard, We need more of these boxers really.Comment

Personally I think Khan took it there because he knows that's the place where he could draw the most amount of fans to come watch him fight.If Peterson wants to come to the UK then Kudos to him, Khan went to Peterson's hometown for this fight so credit to Khan, Bradley took the short end of the money so he doesnt have to go to Peterson's hometown...we should admire boxers who have everything to lose but are still willing to go into their opponents backyard, We need more of these boxers really.
I like his anywhere-anytime attitude, but in a close fight like that, it'll definitely go to Khan in the UKComment

khan clearly won this fight 8 rounds to 4, or 114-111 with the deductions. . . 113-112 at worst. . . there is just no way Peterson won 6 rounds of this fight. . . After the middle rounds, khan started exploding off the back foot when peterson would blindly chase him around the ring, snapping his head back, and then turning him. . . peterson could only land his combinations when khan put the ear muffs up and remained stationary. . . 95% of his shots were partially deflected by the gloves, and only a few would get through cleanly. . . overall khan just looked the fresher fighter, and most importantly, HURT HIM. . .
a side note: when im commenting on te fight in the master discussion thread people need to learn to detect a little humor and INTENTIONAL fan-ship (in that, I KNOW IM being a little biased). . . if everybody just remained 100% neutral ON A DAMN BOXING WEBSITE (although NSB is dear to my heart!) when watching a fight, how boring would that be? if im a huge fan of a guy, im going to cheer for him. . . some of you grumpy, pink gingers need to calm down. . . but PLEASE don't be "that guy" who says "i know more about boxing than you". . .Last edited by UglyPug; 12-11-2011, 07:03 AM.Comment

It's heart and confidence. Peterson thinks he can beat Khan anywhere, and maybe he can.
Unfortunately, England is not a good idea for a rematch. I could see Peterson doing even better and losing.Comment

So Khan took the fight to washington Dc in Peterson's hometown because he knew he would draw more fans from there than the UK? You basically encouraging boxers not to fight in anyone's hometown, Which is fine but just dont turn around and accuse boxers of not willing to travel, the only place Khan would have lost that fight yesterday would be right in Washington DC..
If that same fight happen in the UK then am sure the champ would walk away with his belt not the challenger.Comment
