First off, let me say this. What reason would hometown cooking be done for a guy who has about zero starpower, and isn't known by anyone but hardcore fans? Makes NO sense. Location typically has no effect on robberies, bias etc. It's promotional power of the fighter, the star power they have etc.
The referee did a solid job IMO, He warned Khan several times, and told him "one more time, not going to warn you again" Khan did it even more forcefully after everytime he was warned, the ref gave him many chances, but lost his patience and docked the point. and in the final round, warned him again, Khan does it right after being warned, and throws an uppercut when he clearly sees the ref coming to break them, with the look on his face of a bratty child who doesn't want to share his toys, pathetic.
Khan got outfought, out-timed and out-boxed to some extent. Khan does a horrible time at slowing the pace down of a fight and that's when Lamont did his best work, that and when he timed Khan coming in. Peterson looked like the champion last night, not Khan. Don't get me wrong Khan fought hard but behaved very childish in some instances last night. The judging was completely fair, matter of fact it looked like the Vasquez card had bias written allover it, giving Lamont only 3 rounds, really?....Don't think so.
Great fight but between the HBO commentary, Khan's post fight *****ing because he can't accept a loss, really irked me. I'm by no means no fan of either of them, just a boxing fan, but Peterson dug deeper and deserved that win last night. Khan needed a wake up call like this. Just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
