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

[Babalu11]

I say this with all honesty, I don't like Khan at all and I wanted Peterson to beat him, but after watching the fight more than once I have it 114-111 for Khan, even if I give Peterson a couple of close rounds i have it as a draw at most. The second deduction was just unfair and showed favoritism.

To the jackasses who keep complaining about the uppercut landed on the "break" it landed before the lazy fat refree called for them to stop.

Lederman don't know shyt about boxing.. lol

Every has there own opinion on what happened, at the end of the day Khan lost and Peterson won.

The more I watch the fight the more I see exactly why the ref made the call when he did, first of all he did tell Khan about 5 times to stop pushing before he actually took a point, pushing is illegal. Period and Khan clearly pushed with his hands and forearm several times, an besides that had he gave Khan a hard warning and had khan stopped pushing he probably would have been stopped due to his lack of inside game, Khan was literally actually "running" away from the body shots at one point in the fight so in a way the ref actually kinda saved Khan..

how when everytime after the first point deduction the ref kept telling kahn to "fight out khan", if you slip out you slip out its boxing you dont push everytime your opponent gets close..

Let me get this straight.

You agree that the first point for pushing was okay.

Yet getting another one for continuously doing exactly the same thing you got a penalty for till the end of the fight is unfair?

Maybe you should ask yourself why the ref should treat Khan with your idea of "fairness" when Khan was breaking the rules of boxing and was not fighting fair himself in and of the twelve rounds?

The ref could have given Khan many more deductions for seperate things from forearms and elbows to the face, to excessively holding Petersons gloves on his blindside (that he still picked up on) and the holding behind the neck.

In the end, the ref decided that he had to start actually enforcing the rules for at least ONE of the many types of fouls Khan was constantly committing.

This is why boxing ("fans", mostly) makes me ill sometimes, even though its my favourite sport.

The rules are the god damn rules.

How the hell are you gonna say the second deduction was unfair?

He already got warned a million times to stop the fouling............he got a point taken to try and encourage him to stop the fouling since warning weren't doing anything............

Yet when Khan keeps up with the fouling and gets what he SHOULD get according to the rules of the sport, it's somehow UNFAIR that he should punished in accordance to the rules of the game......

negative on that Khan threw the uppy after the ref yelled STOP! for the deduction...

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.

Peterson had enough activity even as exhausted as both of them were. Khan on the other hand only RAN - you can't win rounds by running. Sorry. It's a fight game not a marathon.

Is HBO your employer??

The HBO Broadcasters are starting to Become Puppets for The Lead Promoters and are spending Too much Time Trying to Convince/Fool the Public of whos Winning instead of just Calling a Fight. Time to Get Rid of All of them and Bring on The Showtime Broadcasters to take their Place. Lederman always seems to Be in Favor of the Showcased Boxer instead of Anything actually going on in the Ring.
