    He's a very squirrelly. Very tricky fighter. Nothing like Zab Judah. He moves alot and can stop on a dime and throw a shot. Khan is not an accurate puncher. He throws alot of punches with volume and power, but I cant wait to see how accurate he is against a fighter with much more lower and upper body movement then Judah. I think Khan wins, but I think he's gonna look bad doing so. Khan only landed 20 something percent of his punches against Judah. Thats not good. Judah is very porous defensively.

    This will be a good test to see where Khan has progressed technically as a fighter.

    I saw him and his brother fight live at the Hard Rock in Biloxi. Not impressed at the time, but he seems to have come a long way

    Physically Khan is one of the P4P best fighters in boxing. Its him improving technically what matters.

    peterson does not move as well as judah. he isn't that hard to hit. he'll offer more in the way of an attacking threat though. he can box you by timing you with his straight right. khan jab should have too much speed and accuracy for lamont though. cant see him getting past that.

    petersons best chance is trying to trap khan in the corner and work the body and head from the inside. he's pretty vicious there.

    khan should be too quick footed though. can see it being comfortable for khan.

    Agree with the TS. This is a tough fight for Khan and I don't care what people say. Peterson is a very sound boxer and this fight is in his backyard. I give Khan credit for wanting to be big in America and for taking fights here, and taking this fight right in Petersons home town. But I don't see it as an easy fight for Khan. Khan says he's not looking past Peterson, but that's bull****. When your talking about your next 3 fights and fighting PBF, then you ARE looking past Peterson. This could be a trap fight for Khan and tougher than he may think. He should be able to win, but it may be a hard earned W.

    Khan isn't ortiz.....Peterson most likely won't go the distance...Peterson is good but he cant match speed or power with amir... Peterson would have gotten smashed by Zab...hell be outclassed by Khan.

    He has far more upper and lower body movement then Judah. More stamina aswell. Whens the last time you saw Judah move around the ring and counter punch off the back foot?


    Disagree. Allow Khan to fall in with his bad footwork, Khan reaches with his punches alot, counter and move.

    Lamonts a G, but Khan's jab will decide this fight.

    If Lamont can somehow get past it, it's anybodies ballgame.:good

    Peterson get smashed by Judah? Not likely. We'll see though. Dont be surprised if Peterson makes Khan look bad.

    God the bull**** that is being churned out to hype this fight is laughable.

    Khan will beat him easily, it's a **** fight, stop acting like Peterson has any sort of a chance. It doesn't matter how 'tricky' he seems, he's not on Khan's level.
