I can't believe people even thought something was up. It was strange but clearly wasn't tampering/bribery.
If Peterson or his camp (or whoever) wanted to rig the fight, then you do that with some sacks of money to the judges out of sight.
You don't get some prick in a trilby to turn up and piss around in the front row (and right in front of Amir's dad).Comment

From Schaefer:
Let me just briefly walk you through the fight at the relevant warnings from the ref to Peterson, and again, Im not making this stuff up. You guys can go and watch the tape yourself if you dont believe me. Rounds two, referee warned three times, keep your head up, keep your head up. Round four, one warning; get your head up. Round five; keep your head up, son. Round six, five of the rounds the ref warned Barry Hunter; anymore of that and I will take a point away. He went on to warn him two more times in that round six.
At 2:04 seconds remaining, Amir looked at the ref and complained about Petersons head. Round eight, again keep your head up Peterson, one warning. Round 10, 2:20, 2:44 seconds remaining, Amir looks up and again complains about the low blow. Three more warnings; get your head off him. Let go, keep your head off him, keep your head up. Round 11, two more warnings, another complaint from Amir at the close of the round. Twelfth round; ah, again one warning; break, keep your head up. And again Amir complained about the Peterson head.
So Peterson was warned more than 10 times and yet had no points deducted. Strange?
There are no provisions in the rules related to pushing. In fact the uniform rules of the Association of Boxing Commission do not mention pushing or even excessive pushing as a foul. Even fellow referees, some of the veterans in the sport and they never; believe me, they never second guess a colleagues performance, had issue with referee Coopers point deductions and the way he handled that fight.
So Khan was WRONGFULLY deducted points. Without the point deductions he would've won, Correct?
So the Commission keeps the master score sheet, so does the WBA, and so does the IBF. Therefore the results would be the same, right, because they all use the same information. Well shockingly it was not, it was different. It was the same for the scorecard of Nelson Vasquez, who had it for Khan, and it was the same for Valerie Dorsett, who had it for Peterson, but somehow George Hills card had it a draw. Therefore the WBA showed on their card that the fight was a draw.
Dave Itskowitch, our Chief Operating Officer and certainly one of the most honest and straight-forward people I have ever met, and all of those, those of you who know him, certainly would agree with me. He actually saw the card, the official WBA card with his own eyes right after the fight. And the WBAs not dis*****g that the WBA card is different from the official, ah, from the official card.
Now what happened with the IBF card, with the IBF master score card? It was gone after the fight. Funny enough, it disappeared. When I talked to Lindsey Tucker on Monday morning, Lindsey Tucker is the IBF official, I asked him what happened, he said that the IBF supervisor who was there for the fight told him that it disappeared, that it seems to him that the District of Columbia took it while he was in the ring presenting Peterson with the belt.
Then suddenly two days ago, an IBF scorecard appeared. It looks as it was made up after the fact, no question about it or was made about, yeah, two days. The printing was way too neat and consistent, not consistent with what usually a scorecard looks like. So, were not, were just, as I said before, were just outlining the facts here. Ah, there clearly is some smoke as it relates to the scorecards and you know the old saying, where there is smoke there is fire.
There has to be something bad going on if this is happening. I've read through a lot of the comments and I hardly see an objective point of view in sight. Put your Khan hate tinted glasses down, just for a few minutes and digest what is really going on. Then, if it helps put yourself in Khans position. Wouldn't you want the truth?Comment

Guys, I've been calling Khan crying to losing a close fight for weeks now, like many given the immediate out cry.
BUT, I challenge anyone to stop making rash comments and watch this video.
That footage is of a seriously dodgey nature, with someone not allowed to be even near the judges, talking to them, leaning and touching they're scorecards. That combined with that scorecard having 10-8 switched round in Petersons favour being the pure swing in the result, is extremely dodgey.Comment

So basically he was an IBF official not authorised to officiate the fight yet still came and was handling the scorecards. He also prevented michael Welsh from doing his job as he was constantly talking to him. Welsh complained but nothing happened.
Then we find out he was with Barry hunter while training the olympians and was causing freddie roach trouble, therefore was kicked out. So he is known by barry hunter.
Then after the fight we see him celebrating with the peterson camp. This may be enough to warrant a no-contest alone never mind a rematch. Along with the 10min delay of scorecards being read, the winner was originally khan then changed to peterson and also the scorecard change from a 10-10 in round 7 to a 10-8, surely that shud be a 10-9?
