    Any competent referee would of disqualified him, period.

    He constantly low-blowed Peterson, rabbit-punched, clinched and pushed. He was warned and warned repeatedly, he's lucky the ref was so lenient.
    Who knows? The last point deduction, he held Peterson's head down and the ref told him to stop. Khan looked at the ref, ignored him and punched Peterson as the ref is pulling them apart.

    Then Peterson got screwed over by at least 1 of those knockdowns that were just trips.

      Part of the reason of why he's fun to watch is not because of his chin. It's because despite his speed he's not (or doesn't try to be) elusive. So, even with an iron chin he'd be out-boxed butmost of his losses have come from a KO so who knows if he would have beat Garcia etc... I admire his guts, though

        no because he gets caught up in his own speed he gets carried away trying to throw so many shots he stays in the pocket too long and gets hit with big shots plus he cannot fight on the back foot

          Hell no. His loss to Peterson had nothing to do with his chin. And struggling against Chris Algieri didn't either.
