    Anyone see Peterson having a much easier time vs Khan?

    This time around? In the first fight, he tried boxing with Khan, using head movement and pulling straight back. Once he got knocked down in the first, he gradually starting putting his plan B into effect and by the end of round 3 he established the inside well enough that I thought to myself he would surely get the KO as Khan has proven he cannot adjust in fights and is a one dimensional fighter.

    I feel this time around Peterson knows exactly how to beat Khan from the opening bell and will be on the inside from round 1 - 12, and I feel like Khan might drown from the pressure.

    maybe, but that's also assuming khan fights exactly the same. You would think Khan also knows what to expect and is working on doing some things differently.

      I dont think so. I agree that peterson will try and make it a dog fight from the get go, but i think khan will be better prepared. In the first fight i dont think he was really prepared for that intense of a fight, kinda overlooked peterson, but i think he will answer the call this fight, and imo he will eventually ko peterson.

        Doubt it. I see a more aggresive, imposing Khan this time around. Khan is too much of a fast/accurate & strong puncher to get on bicycle like he did. If he keeps active there's no way Peterson beats him I think. I hope Peterson knocks him out though.

            Close fight again, Khan will be on his bike earlier and rough house even more.

              Totaly agree... Khan cant deal with pressure... He has good boxing skills but he is not a fighter...

              He has NO inside game whatsoever and wont be able to keep Lamont off unless Golden Boy hire a ref that lets him illegally push and elbow...

              Pettersons style is all wrong for Amir.

                  You guys are missing one key point.. Khan will be able to do what most boxers do when the opponent sticks his head in your chest and thats to PUSH off your opponent. The cheating washington ref deducted points so khan couldnt do what he's trained to do.

                  Next time around Khan can deal with Petersons pressure simply by pushing him off and creating space like he was doing successfully in the first fight until the robbing ref started taking points for it. It's a whole different ball game when you're allowed to use one key technique for dealing with a pressure fighter like that!

                    Dude couldn't impose on a sandwich. It'll still be a close fight, but I really can see Peterson having a easier time with Khan the second time around. All he needs to do is come in stonger with better stamina, and work his way inside and be on the front foot from the get go. The things Khan needs to work on are much tougher. Things like improving his defense, learning how to fight on the inside, learning how to fight going backwards, ect. It may take more than one training camp to improve these things.
