    its a ****** way to judge a fight.
    it's subjective, yes, but it's not without a means to determine who won the round based thereon . . .

    for example: the rounds when khan was "running", and not doing anything else, like timing him for incoming punches, turning him to make him miss, and would simply take breaks from moving to just throw the ear muffs up, then it's more of a "survival tactic" as stones! alluded to, rather than ring generalship.

        lol now that im off my study meds, and not so damn hyper, i can be a true objective fan when scoring the fight. .. there were some rounds when khan was not the ring general, if you will, because he was simply trying to "rest" and "avoid damage". . . however, there more stil more rounds where he was using ring placement, DISTANCE, timing, and cunning by taking advantage of his much fleeter, and dexterous foot work.

            Amir Khan was doing the Moonwalk, Its boxing on the backfoot and winning rounds by impressing judges with flashy combinations and moonwalking.

                It didn't look like ring generalship to me, I remember pissing myself with laughter when Peterson jogged across the ring.

                    I don't know why some ****** people always say that a boxer is running when he is just using the ring.

                      Khan looked terrified when Peterson ran at him. I think he just had no answer for that kind of pressure. He needs to work on an inside game or start using his jab to keep opponents at range.
