★★★ Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson ★★★


Fighting Weight

Recommended Posts

I like Peterson he comes across as a hardworking humble guy, he fought a great fight but the referee had a shocker.

Khan deserves credit for being the bigger draw and going to fight a challenger in his home town but this is the reason why a lot of fighters don't give shit away in negotiations.

dont really see what Khan's whinging about either

your fighting on his turf of course your gonna have to do a lil'bit more to win on points

tbh he had Peterson on the back foot in round 3/4 and should have finished the job, instead he spent all his time dancing around the ring and trying to prove he had a chin. no need

Peterson walked into alot of his punches and wasn't that pretty on the eye with his approach, but when he landed his shots he shook Khan up at will

another lesson for Khan

ref was a busy body but he gave Khan's loads of warnings during the fight

dont see how he had a shocker unless your talking about the ref not breaking when Khan was on the ropes?

Watch the fight back and listen to the ref

'Khan! Khan!' every 10 seconds as if it's a tickling match, Peterson was coming in with his head and Khan was pushing him away. It happens in fights every week but you can't penalise one without penalising the other. As soon as Khan clocked the ref was itching to deduct a point for pushing he had to stand and take shots on the inside because the referee wasn't breaking even when they were tied up.

If pushing a fighter off you was worth a points deduction Mayweather would get about 2 every fight.

Totally agree. The referee was on another planet.
