POLL: Was the Khan vs Peterson Ref in the wrong?

[bojangles1987]

He did give a stern warning.

He said "Last warning, stop pushing" in either the 6th or 7th round

I don't remember that. In that case the ref is completely in the right.

yeah the ref def did say it

Khan cried like a little b!tc!, claiming he was the cleaner fighter. If he was so clean why was he constantly jumping on Peterson's neck? Khan has been posturing for a fight with Floyd, no way this clown gets that fight. He looked like this was his first fight. I knew he was going to lose when I saw Hate in his corner.

16-13 so far in favour of the ref being in the wrong....

im wandering what the HBO broadcast was like.

Commontaters can influence opinion, and that annoying git Watt on sky was basically saying the ref was right and had the viewers well warned that the ref would deduct a pt for pushing before he did, and warned us again before the 2nd deduction that it would happen.

I wander if the HBO crew were saying "wtf is the ref doing" or words to that effect

Referee warned Khan against "pushing" but allowed Peterson to push Khan all night long.

This referee should never be allowed to officiate boxing matches again.

but Khan was pushing him back a few feet in order to reset it was more obvious

Excellent question mate, because like it or not many people do get influenced by the commentators even if they are talking *****e!

HBO was going nuts over the deductions.

As far as being right or wrong, technically he was in the fight because pushing is against the rules. However, it was a little ticky tacky, and a top notch ref (Smoger, Bayless) would never make a call like that.

Khan is a HBO fighter and these jokers are totally biased most of the time, Watt had no agenda even if he is very annoying
