Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – Dissecting 3 Big Fight Negotiations

[Mr. David]

I personally think there is more anticipation for a Bradley/Khan fight than a Peterson/Khan rematch. Peterson already beat Khan. Now we need to see if Bradley can do it. Forget Khans conspiracy theories, he needed to pay more attention to what he did wrong on the inside of the ring then what others were doing on the outside. The ref did nothing wrong, and could have been a lot harder on Khan for other fouls. And the only thing the "Mystery Man" did was correct a mathmatical error, stating that 9x3 does not equal 28. It has already been stated that NONE of the scoring judges were sitting on the side of Welsh or "Mystery Man", therefore his presence had no affect on their scoring. And if the judges were trying to "give" anyone the win, it was Khan. George Hill, oops, gave Khan the 10-8 round that was impossible (and had to be fixed which is why it took so long to announce the decision), and one judge had in 115-110 for Khan AFTER the point deductions??? What fight was he watching??!?

A Peterson/Khan rematch at this point just means that GBP will insure that they get the *cough cough* "right" officials for a Khan win.

Nah. Bring on Khan/Bradley instead.

George Hill did no such thing. The ringside official who was transcribing the scores from the judges' round sheets started off by putting the "10" in the wrong column on the master scoresheet, then corrected his error.

It's become so tiring when fighters spend more time justifying why a fight shouldn't happen than they do ensuring that the fight actually does.

It's also so tiring when the major US TV networks kill a fight that all genuine boxing fans are desperate to see, as they're apparently doing now with Bute-Froch. That won't lead to Bute-Ward in the short term, it'll lead to meaningless fights for both Bute and Ward. Bute-Froch x 2 followed by Bute-Ward late in the year (assuming Bute won) would have given the fans a real 3-fight feast, both from an entertainment and a sporting point of view. I can't believe Showtime are being so ******.
