WBA has ordered an immediate Khan-Peterson rematch

[UglyPug]

The jab wasn't really why he lost the first fight. I would say his non-existant inside game was the reason. Peterson can't box with Khan from the centre of the ring, he has to pressure him to have any chance. So if Khan learns how to fight on the inside and stand his ground, i can't see Peterson winning.

good post man. . . my exact analysis, summed up. . . couldn't have made it shorter and sweeter. .

and LOL at the pic of kobe. . . haha. .

Yeah that too...he couldn't throw an uppercut if his life depends on it. Khan does not have enough time to develop the set of skills (IF it EVER gets incorporated in this game) with this immediate rematch. Peterson easily by UD in neutral territory.

I don't believe the IBF will order Peterson to a rematch,I wonder how much it cost GBP for this rematch??They had no reason to order this rematch which leads me to believe they were paid to order it...I doubt the IBF does this tho,they are not as corrupted...

So the ball will still be in Peterson's court,he can just drop the belt and fight someone else or still fight Khan if that's his best offer..But he deserves to hear all offers and not be force to do anything..

What I noticed about Khan is that he starts extemely quick, he's so much faster in the 1st three rounds, but after you survive them he suddenly becomes average.

If Peterson gets past the begining of the fight, the same fight should be expected.

excellent observation DEE BUSH BABEEEEEEEE. . .

it's like he doesn't have the boxing IQ, or ring saavy to match his speed. . . and his opponents are able to start timing him. .

he doesn't transition from offense to defense, and vice versa. . . he just has that earmuff defense. . . he doesn't ahve the reflexes and ability to pick shots off in the pocket/center of the ring. . . . he's either throwing combinations, skeeting/galloping around the ring, or stationary with the ear muffs on. . he never stands in the pocket making opponents miss with head and upper body movement, or controls the center of the ring.

also, he doesn't sit down on enough of his punches. . . his speed is probably a little deceiving because he doesn't turn his legs, hips, and core into his shots. . . it's almost like devon alexander.

im a HUGE fan of khan. . . but he has some weaknesses he needs to address. . . all that said, i still think he clearly won the fight against peterson (close, but clear).

If Peterson keeps the IBF belt and refuses to fight Khan again, does that mean Khan vs Maidana 2 could be on the cards or will they just give the belt back to Khan or allow him to fight someone in their top 10?

I'm hoping Khan vs Maidana 2 for the WBA strap is the way forward.

I agree with you, Khan also seems very stiff and tense as well he was bouncing around in the first round against Peterson like he was on pills, that takes up a lot of energy.

Khan just signed on for another loss

I kinda wanted to see Marquez - Peterson

Khan is just going to win a decision

[Weebler I]

Peterson won't win this time any more than he did last time.

War Khan and lol @ the haters!
