I re-watched Khan vs Peterson: WHAT A ROBBERY !!!!

[serpicotruth]

its really funny how basically nobody posts a scorecard which has Peterson winning. cause we would destroy that scorecard by pointing out certain rounds that were scored for Peterson (although Khan clearly won them).
Peterson didnt win ***** in this fight. He gave it his all but when you only win 3 or 4 rounds, you dont win the ***ing fight. PERIOD

Khan won if you score punches blocked as connected

a robbery is a fight in which the wrong guy gets the decision my friend. We are talking about a world title fight with 2 belts at stake. You cant give a fight to a guy who only wins about 3 rounds.

You were probably watching like a fan boy,i had Peterson by a point.but i would have been cool with a draw.

i agree with who ever said khan wons round 9-12. peterson was just running at khan but taking alot of shots as he did and OCCASIONALLY landing shots on khan when they were tied up. bottom line peterson couldn't handle the speed so his tactic was to put his head way down and try to get in close and it did work...for a few rounds - not remotely enough for a win. round 4 was interesting peterson landing more power shots but khan landing jabs -im undecided. round 7 khan didnt complain much about the point being takin away, even so he won the round so i called it even. at the start of the fight the ref was telling peterson NOT to keep ducking and khan to stop tying him up later on in the fight he took petersons side, as roach said khan had no choice either get head butted or push his head down or....push him away. I had khan winning by 114 - 111.

robbery?

I watched it again and I still had Peterson 1 up, although could easy have been a draw.

I watched it with no bias towards either fighter and just wanted a good fight.

With the exception of castillo and maybe Oscar they all cough mayweathers fight. He brought their punch outputs drastically down from what they usually are. So try again. They might have been walking toward against him but that does not mean they were imposing their will on him. Step up your boxing knowledge

I can name more but hey *** it atleast you realised two fighters that set the pace against him whereas in your first post you a were an adamant ******. Floyd's essentially a counter puncher and generally waits for his opponents to make something happen, although he's also great on the inside, creating space using his shoulders and elbows to get his shots off.

lol. "no bias towards either fighter". dude, listen. If you score this fight unbiased, there is NO WAY PETERSON ENDS UP BEING THE WINNER

I went into this fight rooting for Amir Khan

On first watch i scored it a draw.

Took another look last night and scored it 113-112 Khan

It FELT like Peterson won though so i was surprised when i did my totals...

Couldnt help but feel happy for Lamont in winning and despite me scoring a draw and a Khan win Peterson definitely had a case and no robbery occurred here!

Thats how I had it scored the first time Khan 1 up with the deductions. I've given Lamont his props for fighting a great fight but the issue I have is with the deductions I dont think any other ref would have taken two points off Khan maybe one but two is just silly and this shouldn't be the case in boxing, the ref having the ability to change the outcome in the way he did.

If he took one which he did, then he HAD to take another because Amir CONTINUED to repeat the same fouls despite more warnings over and over...

Another ref another day maybe there is no deductions but this ref made a point of not taking these infringements lightly (which he is entitled to do) and Khan didnt listen, its on Amir imho.

I thought Lamont boxed out of his skin though and fought a great fight where as with Khan there is room for improvement on that performance and more deductions would be unlikely so id favour Amir in the return if it happens
