Kinda oldish news I know but what many people appear to ignore is that even without the presence of the Mystery Man (Mustafa Ameen) Khan fairly lost the fight on the scorecards. Khan has pointed out the ********* on one of the scorecards that changed ound 7 from a Khan round to a Peterson 10-8 round which resulted in Peterson getting the victory. So, what happened in that 7th round? Here's what the British Press wrote:
"Round seven: Slow-mo of the combo on the ropes showed a big right connecting to Khan's head. In round seven Khan throws some low-ish body shots that cause the ref to tell him to "keep them up". Then Peterson gets Khan on the ropes again and connects with a couple, but not big enough to hurt Khan. Off the ropes Khan lands more punches but then he is pushed back onto the ropes. And then there is a humourous chase around the ring as Khan dances away in what can only be called a running reverse dance, and Peterson can't quite catch him. And then Khan is docked a point by the ref for pushing Peterson away. This fight is now very very close. Guardian unofficial scorecard: Khan 8-10 Peterson"
Anybody here disagree with that description of round 7?
Any way you cut it, Khan lost and his complaining should surely deny him the rematch he wants until at least he's granted rematches to Prescott, Maidana and McClosky.
