Could have saved us from reading the shizer you just posted.Comment

Don't know what fight you guys were watching. It was closer than that.
All I know is. Score it regularly. Then take away two points. Khan loses.Comment

I think there was lack of good preparation for Khan (make him watch Ricardo Lopez ) to make a good uppercut. With decent uppercuts and a more concrete jab, I think Khan could take it in a rematch. But this would take at least a year to develop given Khan's happy feet.It would be an awesome rematch.
Peterson would obviously come out more aggressive alot earlier and Khan would try to hit and move alot more. That could be dangerous for Khan, IMO. Taking body shots while constantly moving and running would slow him down in the later rounds.Comment

The crowd may affect some scoring. I mean when Peterson connected there were cheers, and I believe it does affect judges scorecards too. I ammnot sure on my Scorecard, but certainly crowd noise will affect some of us.
To me, Khan has one tempo, fast, fast and fast! Now it's good, but you need times when you can slow it down.
If anyone plays football or soccer, you will know that sometimes if you slow the ball down, it slows your opponent too and makes him wait for your move and if you go fast, they run fast and often make the tackle.
Khan needs to learn to slow his game down at times. Going fast backwards, even though you don't really get hit, makes people think you lost the round.
Khan footwork has always been messy, but he can refine it.
What he has not learnt is being ****y and too aggressive. He use to be all out action but then got hurt a lot and ktfo. He can take a better shot now and in his mind he has one of the best chins in the world. It's like if someone says you are shot at something, you work hard to try and improve it is good.
He needs to improve on his generalship. If he can control a round, he should win it.
Khan must improve on:
Slower footwork. More measured steps.
Learn to pace a fight and control it.
Learn to not throw too many combo's and preserve energy.
He needs to work on upper body strength.
He needs to work on being comfortable on the inside. He has great body punching but he fears it, maybe because he knows his best attributes is his outside game.
His jab must be used more, but he needs to use it in a way that he stops people.
He must learn to sometimes not fight on his toes, he has to settle his shots for power.
His uppercuts are good, that hit Peterson a few times but he threw it running and not sitting on them which makes it inaccurate.
I always give boxers a bigger chance vs brawlers in rematches.
Peterson has a vey good game plan for himself.
Khan showed flaws, a lot and he can improve more IMO.Comment

Ofcourse the sound matters. Many people including the judges have been infamous for scoring fights because of such things like crowd cheering and so on, even when punches dont land.
No sound takes away all opinion comments by commentators to crowd noise. Just action.Comment

bro you having a 113-112 score card is EXTREMELY close...........khan only landed 12 more shots........(it's khans pitty pat glancing shots vs petersons quality pin point snapping shots)
you basically have the fight as a toss up.............Peterson in my opinion won..........I'm not so impressed with glancing pitty pat shots vs hurtful ones. (peterson was throwing hurtful quality shots to the head & body all night long)
but we will agree to disagree...............Comment
