Comments Thread For: Lederman: Khan Won, Referee Took it Away From Him

[AzteK Warrior]

Do you have a pic of Lederman's score card? I need to see this b.s

I don't have a pic - watch the tape or look it up on Youtube the whole fight is there. You can clearly see Lederman giving at least 3 rounds to Khan that he did not deserve ESPECIALLY the 10th or 11th where all Khan did was run, run, run and Peterson did all the fighting.
You could tell HBO had a different agenda. Just listen to Lampley hyping Khan throughout the whole fight- alluding to Khan's punches but ignoring Peterson harder and better punches.
Again, The right man won on Saturday!!

The rules are clearly stated that you cannot push your opponent. The ref gave Khan a million warnings, at one point saying this is your last warning. This wasn't the referee's fault, it was Khans.

There's no denying that the ref had everything to do with the outcome of this fight. As good as Peterson was, Khan turned it up late and fought back like a champion. The ref was out to get Khan from the start. He specifically said only Khan's name in every clinch even.

Even though I wanted Peterson to get the win, I just think about what Max said. If it were in England and it were Peterson getting points deducted I'd have been pissed.

We don't have things like replay to confirm knockdowns. Most refs would have called that one...That second point deducted at that point in the fight was hometown cooking at it's best.

Everyone knows Khan won, even the Afro American posters who so desperately want infinite reparations that they feel this robbery was just because of some million year old beef. The only people claiming Peterson won are black people, ******s, and former victims of Khan...even they know Lamont got...owned...no pun intended

Luckily I caught a Sky stream... I don't remember if they had him winning, but last I checked they had Peterson either up or down one and they really had no problem with Peterson winning. They didn't call robbery or jobbing... they said the right man won... HBO seems to be the only one butthurt about Khan losing.
Like I said before, HBO irritates my ears. Ima a Pacquiao fan, but I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when they were showing his card on T.V and said "well he's really good when it comes to scoring"

I really wanted Peterson to win, but he didn't have enough activity late to seal the fight without that last deduction. Khan won 3 out of the last 4.

HBO is full of **** tbh,and Jim should be fired already..He always has his favorites,Khan Cotto Pac,and as a commentator that should not be..

HBO always trying to spin it their way. Just mad they didn't get their way.

in the late rounds Khan ran like a ***** and was hitting mostly all gloves.Even without those point deductions that fight could have went either way.

YOu didnt act like he won when you tried to school him in the interview after the fight the ref called it right he warned khan 1,000 times and he kept using elbows and pushing is head down and holding

The interviewer is Larry Merchant. This article is about Harold Lederman: "Jim, 5 rounds to 1,........"
