Just wondering because of Khan, has a decision ever been overturned completely so it goes to the other guy. I know they have been changed to NC but never heard of a win being swapped to the other fighter. Also vote if you think it will be overturned or not!!
If they could not overturn the Koreans decsion win over Roy Jones Jnr in the Olympic final 88 - then this decision has no case it all. Besides - whats the issue for it being oveturned - it was a close tough fight that went the way of the American. There is no case at all - 2 points deducted - thats what the ref adminstered - so thats what we have to accept happened - even if it did effect the end result. The only issue here is Amir Khans "special boy" complex and his glib sense of entitlement that everything has to have him coming up smelling of roses and of success and glory.
It wont be overturned but if they kick up enough of a fuss the sanctioning bodies could call for an immidiate rematch, which is what they are looking for imo, getting that nailed down, Petersen is already saying "ah well er ill have a rematch if er my team think thats the best move" Its not "yes, there will be a rematch" so i think team khan are trying to make it concrete, I mean if Petersen fights someone and loses or one of the belts gets stripped or something then it ****s amirs plans up.
On that subject, isnt there supposed to be some ruling for IBF i think? where you cant weigh over a certain % after the weigh-in, shouldnt that have affectedPeterson being a reported 15lbs over?
Not sure on that one tbh. I was shocked by that, I mean Lamont looked tiny compared to Ortiz, like a midget almost, he was also manhandled by Bradley, who is an actual midget, yet to me he looked like the bigger man against Khan, couldnt figure that out at all
It won't get overturned, they are probably appealing to try and get the "second prize" of an immediate rematch ordered. Didn't vote, **** choices.
Completely different situation. Robberies, home town decisions, controversial decisions never get overturned. Even this gem never got overturned... (ruled a KO2) @1:13 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M6UCpyksOY[/ame]
Not a chance and why should it? Can of worms opened if it does and you will have appeals after every close fight from now on. Khan needs to stop being a whinging premadonna and get on with it. Beaten. End of!
you just never know, i really did'nt think the dawson - hopkins fight could be overturned, but hey, its golden boy. amir khan should just admit he lost the fight, what about the "knockdown" that peterson got a count for in the first round? is their any wonder why so many people dislike amir khan?
What choices do you want? The thread was made becassue i was wondering if a reversed decision had ever happened. This thread isnt about Khan, i just put that up as a little extra to see what everyone thought. The poll asked weather or not Khans desicion will get reversed, Yes or No!! Theres not really any other outcome there is there.
Julio Cesar Chavez infamously got a dq loss overturned to a KO win early in his career. Haugen/Santana (IBF 135lbs title fight) was overturned in similar circumstances to the Amir Khan fight...
