Fair post. But I feel after the first point deductions he actually did make a adjustment. He won a few round after that clearly. But no doubt he needs to work on his infighting. The fair thing would be a rematch, and settle the score. No need to overturn the result. That is BS.
but the point is, he was warned over and over and over again and then the ref took a point. Any smart fighter would have stopped, but Khan kept doing it over and over. Even after the 2nd point deduction, he did it 7 more times. Amir Khan is the new modern day Andrew Golota
What's really stupid is the article implies that Khan legitimately knocked Peterson down, twice, but only one counted...that shows how stupid this **** is.
So for clarification do you deny Khan fouled, or do you accept he fouled and just expect 67+ pushes to go unchecked, I'm really not sure what your angle is here?
Again I ask people on here, Peterson was warned by the ref for most of the fight to keep his head up, Why was he not deducted a point.?????? If you going to deduct 2 points off the champion for pushing.
Can you provide a picture, or videos showing Peterson butting Khan, surely it shouldn't be too difficult since their were so many...
My point is if going to warn Khan for a foul then deduct points, he also warned Peterson for most of the fight with going in head first and telling him to keep your head up, but no deductions. I rule for Khan, another for home town Peterson.
Dawg how the **** you arrive at the conclusion he fights "The Best"? He hasn't fought Bradley, Alexander, Matheyse, I mean are you claiming Judah, MAIDANA, and Peterson are the best 140 lbs? You outlandish **** is making me be "the bad guy" and appear s if I'm shittin on the guy, and I'm not that dude. I like Khan fine, but he got beat...fairly. Accept it, go get better and come back stronger. Simple as that.
KAHN SHOULD CHECK THE RULE BOOK AGAIN: Rules of Boxing The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a point deduction or disqualification: You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or This content is protected You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow. You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand. You cannot punch your opponent's back, or the back of his head or neck (rabbit punch), or on the kidneys (kidney punch). You cannot throw a punch while holding on to the ropes to gain leverage. You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line. When the referee breaks you from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal. You cannot spit out your mouthpiece on purpose to get a rest. If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count. If you "floor" your opponent, you cannot hit him when he's on the canvas. A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout. A boxer who is knocked down cannot be saved by the bell in any round, depending upon the local jurisdiction's rules. A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out. If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified. If the foul causes an injury but the bout continues, the referee orders the judges to deduct two points from the boxer who caused the injury. If an unintentional foul causes the bout to be stopped immediately, the bout is ruled a "no contest" if four rounds have not been fully completed. (If the bout was scheduled for four rounds, then three rounds must have been completed.) If four rounds have been completed, the judges' scorecards are tallied and the fighter who is ahead on points is awarded a technical decision. If the scores are even, it will be called a "technical draw." If a boxer is knocked out of the ring, he gets a count of 20 to get back in and on his feet. He cannot be assisted. In some jurisdictions the standing eight-count or the three knockdown rule also may be in effect. In other jurisdictions, only the referee can stop the bout.
