Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson **DIRTY Highlights** 2011 HD

I've been watching boxing for over 40 years and whilst I know **** all about the sport I can't ever remember seeing it happen.

 

Whilst balling at the top of my voice in a coked up to **** manner "LETS THROW SOME THUNDER"...Theres a reason that Mr Cooper has only reffed three world title fights since his first one in 1999...In short, he's **** :deal

 

It seems that the only person not bitching about the pushing is Peterson himself...quote..."I didn't mind it"

 

It's simple cause and effect. The referee said "stop pushing". Khan did not. He got penalised. He kept doing it. He got penalised again.

Whether Cooper is **** isn't the issue, it's that Khan was incapable of following the rules and ignoring the referee's reasonable instruction.

 

Its not that Khan had points deducted, what worries me is that rules were not applied equally. Peterson lead with his head, was warned consistantly and didn't get deducted. Balance is what is needed.

As for the debate about Cooper...any ref who can't get his fat arse out of the way of a fighter who appeared to be going down from a punch and who personally applied the coup de grace by tripping the **** up fully shouldn't have been in the ring in the first place.

 

I agree that, having watched the fight again, Cooper was iffy. Not outright shocking, but iffy.

I don't agree that Peterson was doing much with the head, certainly less than Khan did against McCloskey and Malignaggi. Yeah, he was coming in low, that naturally puts the head forward, but he never led with it, he never used it with any intent and head clashes were minimal.

It's all over the top - Khan fouled and he got penalised for it. There are no referees who are consistent. Compare to Joe Cortez who deducted a point from Maidana for inadvertently hitting him with an elbow. That was completely unjustified yet no one was up in arms over yet another appalling Cortez performance.

it's a double-standard with this. Khan's had his share of dodgy calls go his way (long counts, technical decisions on a cut, dubious deductions). Looks like he needs to take his medicine.

 

lol look at this dftaylor peddling his crap about pushing at every opportunity. I reckon it's a habit of Khans the ref and peterson's camp picked up on before the fight and knew they could nail him on if peterson shoved his head in Khans face. The ref did tell peterson to keep his head up on numerous occasions so by that logic he also should of get a point deducted at least if your going to be so strict on the rules. And to call the maidana point deduction "completely unjustified" just confirms what the anti-pushing brigade are all about.

 

the anti-pushing brigade!

You have read my posts where I said I thought the deduction was harsh? Obviously not.

I also think Khan deserves a rematch - yeah, I'm such a hater!

 

Dude, go watch the national pushing championships if that's your thing, I sure as hell don't want to watch it in a boxing match.

 

Khan's answer to inside fighting is to foul. He better learn new tactics fast because his inside game is dreadful.

 

**** sake, Khan was robbed, friggin ref and Peterson had this planned because theyre both black....there has never been a ref in the history of boxing that has ever said anything about pushing...and Roach told Amir he cant get a point deducted for it....stupid bloody American ref!...and American judges, they better have an investigation because Amir isnt supposed to lose!

 

he was known as Amir "pushing" Khan before right? dont think so. you would rather watch the world ballroom dancing championships with all the holding that goes on in fights. If someone is butting into your mouth with their head and nuzzling into yr chest what are you supposed to do? whisper sweet nothings in his ear? Anyway although they are using the points deductions as a public excuse , I hope privately "team Khan" realise that their boy has learnt nothing from the maidana fight..is that a shortcoming of Khan or of his trainer i don't know

 

You are trying very hard.

 

not as hard as you have ..repeatedly being told not to do something should result in a points deduction has become your mantra the last few days..where was petersons deduction for repeatedy being told to keep his head up? and tell me more about the "totally unjustified" points deduction for maidana? lol

 

Please tell me why Maidana deserved docked a point for a completely unintentional foul on the referee?

Please show me when Peterson was "leading with the head"? There were no cuts (unlike Khan versus McCloskey and Barrera) from head contact.

And that's not what I said at all. Peterson wasn't leading with the head, the ref just told him to watch it on the inside since he was coming in low (but legally so). That's what inside fighters do and sometimes heads clash. That's boxing.

Here's why the deduction was legitimate: Peterson was working in close and Khan pushed him off because he couldn't cope with him there. The pushing therefore was an illegal way to disrupt his opponent's offence because the referee was allowing him to work there.

If Peterson had just leant on or tied Khan up (as Khan kept trying to do btw in an effort to get the referee to call break), then the pushing would have been ok.

But he didn't, so it wasn't. Trying to defend him is hilarious - if you know the ref doesn't like something you're doing, why would you keep doing it?

Answer, because Khan panicked with Peterson in close and that was the only way he can control range.

Now go back and play with your toys.
