If he was being fair, why'd he warn Peterson about 19 times about coming in with the head but take no points?

Anyway we know Peterson cheated so who gives a f***.

Good interview.

I feel for the ref, I think he did a good job and a lot of the criticism of him has been unfair.

Or low blows.

I knew he was ******ed when he blurted out some derp **** at the start of the fight.

Is it just coincidence that this guy comes out to defend himself just after it came out Peterson cheated in the first fight?

Why are they interviewing now? Anyways he warned Khan before deducting points, If i remember correctly he warn Khan more than twice, Even though this is the first time i have seen a referee warn a fighter for pushing another fighter off him.

kahn point deductions

1st off dont act dumb people,the ref took the 1st point cause khan was not just pushing,he was pushing to get lamont off balance and then he would throw a hard left hook. thats not just regular pushing that was a offensive tactic that is dirty. i like kahn but thats what he was doing. the 2nd point was for really the same thing he took it for holding his head but it was was cause kahn kept pushing peterson with his right hand making lamont come up on 1 foot then khan would hit him with a devastaing hook after it everytime go back and watch 2 see 4 yourself.
