I would have liked Steve to speak on the Peterson's use of his elbows, forearms and head to get in close that didn't get called to attention by the ref. I respect his desire not to **** on a colleague, but honestly, after watching this fight 3 times, I get more disturbed by Peterson's ******* use of forearms and elbows to trap Kahn against the ropes.

The more I watch that fight, the more it irks me as a fight fan.
I was actually going for Peterson, but that had to be the most disgusted (along with Agbecko vs Mares I) that I have ever been with a fight.

It was nice that he did the interview, but it was worthless. Anyone who saw Cotto -Marg 2 knows what he was going to say, he let Cotto push Margarito the entire fight, so if he agrees with Cooper, he would be contradicting himself.

look here man, it's like this, the best referees are neither seen nor heard unless there is some BLATANT fouling going on. . . HELL, technically, clinching is illegal; can you imagine how many points would be deducted, or how many fighters DQ'd? Stuff like inside grappling, pushing off, clinching/holding ARE PART OF THE GAME. . . Fighters who hold want to implement their game on the inside, and fighters who push off want to stay on the outside?
a referee has discretion, and that discretion should be used to keep the fighters SAFE, and keep the fight a nice, action fight without disturbing the ebb and flow. . .
