In an Era where so many boxers are too scared to........

Yea Khan should get much more credit than what he gets. He didn't have to fight Peterson in his hometown but he did cause that is taking RISKS. Something many boxers fear this day.

Peterson wasn't seen as a RISK..

He was chosen to make Khan look good.

Amir over estimated his own abilities and got several years beaten off his life.

If Khan were such a brave man he would have rematched Prescott..

I don't think the loss is that big a deal. In the old days, if a guy lost, he lost. It wasn't that he was exposed or a hypejob or fraudulent or overrated. He lost. I think that Amir was in a back-and-forth war that could have gone either way and was on the short end of the decision.

Taking that amount of punishment is always a big deal...it's not just the loss on his record but to his body.

Khan has to get with somebody that can HELP him defensively while he still has something left.

When were they saying Peterson wasn't a risk? Anyone who knew shyt about boxing knew that taking Peterson on in his backyard was a risky thing to do.

Great post ! !.........i dont like Amir, i never have.....but to me the kid won the fight.
i dont like his bravado, but his style is easy on the eye, so is fun to watch....I like the heart that Lamont show in this fight also, to me was one good god-damm fight........to me a loss is too way overrated, and people make too much about it, i hope to see this 2 guys in the ring pronto........
anyways...Great post bro......

I give "KING" Khan credit, he's still young. He still has room for improvement. He needs to stop wasting so much energy though, he needs to calm down, be patient and set up his shots.

[LEATHERF8CE]

put it all on the line, why is Khan getting stick for having the balls to go to Pete's backyard and fight???

Shouldn't he be getting praise for actually having the balls to fight in a live dangerous opponents backyard instead of getting killed for it?

The hypocrisy of us boxing fans is mind bogglingly funny. We cane people like Mayweather for being cautious throughout there boxing careers and avoiding many potentially dangerous situations and making very few risky moves in there career, yet when one actually goes old school like all the champs from the great era used to, he gets slated it for it lmao! Yes it was the wrong choice in hindsight but at least the man had he balls to take that risk, tell me who else would do what Khan did in his situation? Not many i can assure you of that.

It would probally be praise if it actually the real reason why he went to Peterson back yard...He only went to DC to really try to market himself. Meeting Hilliary Clinton and trying to get president ***** to come sit ringside..He took Peterson lightly and didn't think he was threat. Everything backfired on Amir, he didn't even get to meet the president....

I agree with the above comment. On the surface, the act is good, but i'm sure Khan had ulterior motives, and it simply back-fired on him. Now he's saying he wants "his" titles back lol, KHAN, YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE UP ANYWAY! lmao, it must not feel good when you don't have your bargaining tools at your disposal. Khan isn't at the level yet where the saying "the titles don't make the man" apply. He still needs them as a form of legitimacy.

Take the fanboy glasses off (I dont even care if you're a fanboy or not) cause you're obviously watching a different fight.

A "couple pushes" you say?



When does "a couple", stop being "a couple"? Probably when it happens almost constantly?

And then there's the biggest push of the fight that gifted Khan a 10-8 round:





The fighters many times are also to blame, especially when they are so ****y.

You cant be calling out Mayweather and get ****** around, looking bad like he did without taking some stick.

Its inevitable.

Fighters make big promises and talk crap they don't even believe just to get that pay day.

Its not the fans fault. Boxing is fu**ed from inside. Promoters.......wth is a promoter doing crying about the ref during the post presser?

It needs to be a proper sport in term of rules and regulations, as well as where sportsmanship is concerned, in and out of the ring, before people who look up to the fighters can follow.

Larry Merchant rarely has something intelligent to say now a days but he was right when he said, "Maybe there's no crying in boxing, but no pushing? Come on!"

There where no hard warnings given before a point deduction. Usually a ref will tell you "this is the last time I'm warning you."

Oh please, that was a good scrap but it was hardly Castillo-Corrales.

The ref said no pushing early on...Khan kept doing it.

He got plenty warnings..

Don't forget the Ref gave Khan a knockdown when in fact Peterson tripped.
