Obi1Kenobi0 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It was a close fight but I've never seen a fighter deducted twice for pushing. Watched it live and still had Khan up by 2 rounds. Re- watched it a few days later and I still had Khan winning. It was a clash of styles, Peterson was more aggressive and walking in which the judges seemed to favour. That said, Khan would have won had he not been deducted points. Funny how the ref allowed Petersons leading in with the head which was constant. I can't understand all the Khan bashing if I'm honest. He's British and representing us on a world stage. He is self confident but also quite humble. I know we don't like fighters making excuses, but Khan had legitimate reason to complain about the irregularities. , hence the WBA ordering a rematch.

Dangerous Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I dont like the way khan and his crew have hounded this result ever since it was called.they have no class at all.one minute he wants to fight mayweather,the next he is clutching at straws to get a rematch with peterson.

archiedavison007 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Khan was daft and arragant to fight in washington, schoolboy error, the 2nd fight will be similar but khan will get the decision no matter what he has del le hoya behind him. Look forward to a potential fight with kell brook, typical ingle fighter look forward to saturday night and good luck to Matt Macklin who was robbed in Germany.

Dangerous Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Titles should go back to Amir, shouldn't have to fight for them again. yes he should fight for them again. it hasnt been proven peterson was drugged before the first fight.peterson should have his licence removed and will lose his belts but the titles will and should be vacant.

Boycie Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Well, I'm sure Amir would fight anyone for the belt, but, he wants the loss rubbed from his record, that's the real point I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 With what went on I think that fight should be scrubbed from the record regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
