this thread proves people have no idea what they are even watching. peterson was holding and hitting? khan would lock up petersons arm and peterson would hit him with his free hand. khan was the one trying to hold but peterson didn't let him and now its somehow flipped into peterson holding and hitting? you are just used to pansy fighters letting their opponents hold them until the ref breaks them. peterson didn't let that happen. pay attention during the fight please!

* Pre Fight - takes more time shouting his lame catch phrase than giving instructions to the two fighters
* Round 1 - puts himself in a bad position and trips up Peterson.
* Round 1 - scores a knockdown against Peterson incorrectly.
* Round 7 - deducts a point from Khan having not given a hard warning about pushing.
* Round 12 - deducts a second point from Khan, again without a hard warning.
* All Fight Long - inconsistent with pushing. It's ok for Peterson to push Khan against the ropes. It's ok for Peterson to hold and hit Lennox Lewis style. It's not ok for Khan to push Peterson.
Peterson was awesome and I don't begrudge him the victory, but it's a real shame that those two point deductions decided the fight. The best referees are barely noticed, except in tough call situations, and Joe Cooper seemed to want the attention. Terrible performance.
The ref is in charge of thhe fight, what do you expect him to do when a fighter is flagrantly abusing the certain amount of leeway a fighter always gets??

Oh and I forgot the prize pippin, the ref in the Jack Johnson- Fireman Flynn fight. Flynn was grabbing Johnson with both hands and baltantly butting him, not once, but 4-5 times at go. As if he were throwing "head" combinations. It took 9 rds before the ref DQ'd him.

I don't think Hopkins saw that fight, or indeed many other "actors", but if they had, they'd think of a different way to get a DQ, like a "dislocated" shoulder. On second thoughts, maybe Hopkins DID see that fight........
