How on earth did that one judge have Khan ahead by 5 points after being docked 2?

    There is no logical explanation. That judge should be ashamed.

    I thought the Khan scorecard was 114-111? Having Khan up by 3 points would be pushing it but just acceptable. Anything more than that is just ridiculous.

    For the record that judge gave Peterson rounds 3, 7 and 8.

    It was 114-111. Things got lost in translation of news reports.

    I gave Peterson rounds 3, 7, 8 and 11. But he could have 4 if he wants, maybe swap it for 11 cos that was a bit generous.

    Home cooking, but nowhere near the worst we have seen or are going to see in the future. I don't dispute the point deductions I just feel the scoring was dubious. This is coming from someone who wanted Khan to lose.

    No. I just read that the scorecard was 115-110 but that is was incorrectly read out.

    I feel inclined to say 115-110 is more realistic a score than a Peterson win.

    The whole thing stinks from the referring to the scoring. Are judges allowed to change their scores after they mark it down on the sheet? Why did it take so long to add the scorecards.

    So you had it 117-110 Khan, I think that says it all to be honest.
