Lamont Peterson received the black and gold title that officially identifies him as the super champion at 140 pounds, under the World Boxing Association. The 28-year-old fighter, with a current record of 30-1-1, with 15 KOs, won the belt on December 10th when he won a split decision over Britain's Amir Khan in Washington DC. Peterson and Khan will have a rematch on the 19th of May at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

the next fight wont even be close peterson wont try and out box khan in and wont get kd twice he will fight with the same gameplay he used and that will give khan the same problems

I think it will still be a close fight, but I agree Peterson does better in the rematch. He has the confidence he needs. He has the longer reach, but didn't use his jab enough to get inside. He just came straight forward and ate punches, if he works behind the jab the rounds won't be as close IMO. Khan can't make the adjustments and still thinks in his mind he was robbed. He still overlooking Lamont.

good fighter


not a good looking belt. really. that thing is u g l y ugly.

they really should think about a new design. the ring belt and WBC green belt put that thing to shame.


Peterson and khan II should be a good fight. khan didnt go into the trenches, the way many fights go that see the superior boxer and athlete lose. he tried his best to box and failed. the two points he lost for pushing also cost him


it should be another close fight
lamont is going to come forward, and i think khan is going to slow his retreat a bit to try and land more meaningful shots. that's the next step. if he stays a flurry and then run fighter he'll never make the elite

if he loses again his career is all but sunk as well. it's back to europe against european fighters at the risk of getting whooped by an up and comer like brook (who can punch and fight,)

I don't think so.

Whatever happens it's going to be an exciting fight and people will want to see him again (just like Maidana).
