Comments Thread For: Mystery Man Admits He Helped Correct Khan-Peterson Card

[Leohappy]

wtf so he has ADMITTED HE INFLUENCED THE SCORING, a third party who should not have been in the arena let alone near the judges has admitted to changing the scorecards

how on earth can the ibf not rule this a no contest after he has admitted altering the cards?

correcting a mistake means he influenced the scoring? smh...
then why GBP and khan pulled out of investigation if they had such a strong case? so much crying for nothing.

So this guy who's not an official, never has been never will be and who didn't have accreditation to be sat were he was, then got involved with the scorecards and scoring.

Also, his theory of after 3 rounds I told Welsh this was wrong is clearly BS. He started his little illegal moves from round 6 onwards. Also 9-9-9? How could it be 9-9-9 when round 1 was a 10-8 round?

he got involved with welsh's scorecard. welsh was there as a WBA supervisor, and made his own unofficial scorecard (he scored it a draw btw). supervisor's cards have no impact on the fight outcome.

When Khan talked of Mayweathe more than Peterson, that alone shows me he was not focussed on the fight.

It is true that Peterson exploited Khan's inability to fight on the inside, but that is also a wrong doing on Khan's side: Peterson had 3 game plans and said he used two: Khan had one game plan. Peterson's main chance was on the inside and khan should have developed more in that area.

NOW Khan has admitted that flaw and said he will work on it.

Good to point out no rematu clause for mandatories.

Peterson did have success inside - just not enough to win. Both fighters were gassed late in the fight but Khan won the 3 of the 4 last rounds imho and clearly won the 12th round

A think the real question here is why is a guy who can't add 9+9+9 officiating a world title fight?

khan got robbed like **** lol

Dirk, Khan was proven sort of right on one thing he complained about after weeks of complaining about various other things. If the scores had been unrealistic, Khan would have a point. They were in fact dead on with how everyone else scored the fight, except the bullsh** judge that had it 115-110, that was the worst of the three scorecards.

It would have been a bigger travesty if Khan had won the fight and afterwards we find out a judge had given that 10-8 round for Peterson to Khan, robbing Peterson of the win.

Con fans: He won and he was cheated by the big bad Mystery Man! He just had an off night!

People with brains: This "scandal" doesn't exist. Maybe the guy shouldn't have been there, but all he did was help correct a mixed up score to prevent a win going to the loser. Hype him up as some judge seducing scoreboard ninja all you want, what he did was for the good of boxing.

Khan is the loser. Get over it, UK.

Were they? Pretty sure the consensus was that Khan won even with the deductions. I had it 8 rounds to 4 and I dont think it was hard to score at all.

Also if such a blatant error was being made, how many more were made in the scoring?

If this guy is admitting to this, it does raise questions, I don't like Khan but I can't deny that. And it does raise questions. But 113-112 was absolutely fairer than 115-110. I have more questions about the judge giving Khan 9 rounds than the other two.

I guess just go ahead and fight a rematch, but Khan was not robbed, in anyway shape or form.
