WBA orders immediate rematch for Peterson-Khan.

[Southpawology]

hope peterson KO's him this time

On another note...2012 year of the rematches? Berto/Ortiz II , Juanma/Salido II, Khan/Peterson II

[-FLIP-]

If Khan loses decisively, then its pretty much over for Khan. Unless Peterson somehow starts beating everyone else in his division.

What makes you think there will be a rematch? My guess is the IBF will say the decision stands and Peterson will keep will keep that title. Team Khan will offer the same terms as the original fight $650,000 to Peterson to rematch and a chance to get the WBA title back. Peterson is going to get a better offer fro Bradley or Pacman and take the better offer. Team Khan will then say Peterson ducked out of the rematch because he knew he would lose just as he lost the first fight and rewrite history. Idiot mugs will buy into it and the farce will continue and Khan will fight a soft touch. This has as good or better chance of happening than Peterson rematch.

Organizations assign their own official scorers to bouts as backup references, and Welsh scored it a draw, while the IBF's rep Paul Artisst had it for Peterson.
Peterson edged Khan, 113-112 on the cards of judges George Hill of New Jersey and Valerie Dorsett of North Carolina, and lost,115-110 on that of Nelson Vazquez of Puerto Rico.

so they admit the only weird thing is the 115-110 card?

Boxing, losing any sense of dignity one day at a time.

Khan got his ass kicked, started crying. Someone didn't tell him the proper stages of denial, or the WBA for that matter. Sad.

there is still no guarantee that the rematch will happen though. the IBF so far has not been very vocal about the matter which leads me to believe they might not order a rematch.
peterson can vacate one or both belts to pursue a different fight.
