Comments Thread For: Roach: We Were Told Amir Khan Won, Something is Fishy

[GrizzleBoy]

I don't see why there are people so ready to dismiss fighters as overrated and hypejobs. If anything Petersen was underrated. Khan's a great fighter. Because he has a tough fight with a very qualified opponent doesn't mean he's a hype job.

I thought Khan won a close decision. I could kind of see deducting for the pushing once, but I thought doing it twice was dubious. But it was a great close fight. It was one of the best fights I saw in a long time. So I'm applauding both men not pulling the hypejob card.

Dubious how???????????????????????????????????????????????

You can see why the ref FINALLY took a point after about ten billion warnings....

But you cant understand why he took another point when Khan continued to do it and didn't stop doing what he just got a point taken for?

How does that work?

Its like taking a point for a headbutt, then complaining the next time you get a point taken because you're still headbutting.

You break the rules, you foul, you ignore warnings, you get points taken.

You keep doing it, you get another point taken till you actually learn to stop fouling....

Simple as.

Not only that, but the second point deduction was also given easier by the fact that Khan got caught hitting on the break and that was the last straw.

It took a long time as someone had to do their maths so and manipulate the scorecards so that Peterson could win.

When they first manipulated it, Khan was probably still a winner, so they had to rearrange it again and then and only then was Peterson declared a narrow winner.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on boxingscene that render a fighter as a "hypejob" simply because of a loss, without taking into account the circumstances of that loss. In this case, it was a very close fight. By their logic, if Khan is a hypejob, then Peterson is just as bad for having struggling to get past a "hypejob".

Peterson is underrated. A lot of posters here can't give credit to a fighter without insulting the other.

Told by who exactly? Come on now, look at the judges scorecards and then complain and not about someone telling you something they shouldn't have told you in the first place.

[BoZz]

So he got told khan won before the scorecards were handed to the ref??? That's not fishy at all.

Got ridiculed years back for saying the whole wild card camp are a bunch of classless ******s.

No need for apologies. I call it as I see it and I saw this way back. Take the high road freddie. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. Yet for the next few months we will be subjected to constant complaints from team khan.

Funny how fans are. When unpopular boxers BOX they call it running. When a man like khan RUNS his silly fans call it boxing.

Dude ran around the ring like a little girl for the 2nd time in 4 fights. That wasn't strategic. There was no stick and move, Khan was in full on flight mode in the third round. Future p4p champ my ass.

Said it before, khans hameed moment is right around the corner. He is fast but has nowhere near the pop to hold off ortiz or berto. Mayweather? gtfoh

I noticed that when khan was standing around ariza went to his ear and told him something and khan looked pleased , as if he was telling him he won, at that moment i thought khan had it for sure

[TOBYLEE1]

Roach's claims has no credibility unless they say who told him and what that person actually has to do with the official scoring.

The scores did indeed took a while to be read out.

Khan did not run away with the bout and it was a very close fight

[Hougigo]

Please... they already wrote about this here. The ****** judges messed up with the scoring in round seven giving Khan a 10-8 round... that's impossible because he got a point deducted and the highest he could get is a 9-9 round since he didn't get a knockdown.

[Tomasio]

¿Roach & team Khan were told they won BEFORE the scores were officially announced? Now that's fishy!!! According to Roach he was told they won & was confident that the info was right, so ¿Who told them that?..
