Many people on here say khan ran, held and threw pitter pat punches whilst Peterson was the aggressor so he deserved the decision. Flip the script during the dirrel fight Andre ran, held and threw pitter pat punches whilst also looking like a complete whiny ***** and froch was the aggressor constantly trying to initiate. People on here call it that a robbery so lets be honest here we all base are opinions on which fighter we want to win, factors in this are colour or nationality most of the time. Very few people can look on a fight objectively it's just not part of tge boxing fans psyche if you want a great example of someone who can check out bigragu's afterthought for each of these fights on YouTube
Dirrel genuinely appeared to be back tracking and falling to the canvas because he was scared to engage Froch, he wanted to avoid fighting. At one point he actually fell to the floor just because a punch was coming towards him. I've never seen anything like it. Khan was not at all scared to engage with Peterson, it's just that Peterson wanted to bring the fight to the inside which where Amir can't fight. Khan has absolutely no inside game and instead needs space and time to get in, get his shots off and get out. This is why he was trying to get away from Peterson, and why he ended up losing points and the fight. There's a huge difference in my opinion.
khan lost because he was undisciplined and peterson was fortunate because of that. froch didnt beat dirrell, but dirrell didnt do enough to take the belt off froch. its that simple
Those people who claim Dirrel beat Froch, Valuev beat Haye and Peterson beat Khan,or had all those 3 fights the other way around don't realize or can't admit they're ultimately biassed for or against the British fighter. It's inconsistent scoring.
haye 116-112, froch 114-113(point deduction), Khan 113-112. dirrel didn't fight like khan, khan didn't fight scared, valuev landed **** all. Fights aren't comparable.
One fight you're scoring the aggressor and the next you're scoring the backfoot technician. Can't be bothered breaking it all down. If you disagree that's fine.
Don't get me wrong I thought khan just edged it and so did froch my point was lots of people on here don't see it like that e.g. Khan haters and Durrell lovers which tend to be the same people who can't see the double standard
Doesn't matter if you think in your own mind one guy was scared and another wasn't. You're not scoring them based on the size of their balls, or A Force would have never won a round his life.
Froch didn't manage to hit Dirrell clean but maybe 5 times in the fight. Dirrell meanwhile shook Froch with a shot. Khan and Peterson was far more even and Peterson never tried to body slam Khan. Peterson is a much more well rounded fighter then Froch. Froch gets dirty when things aren't going his way. There's a reason there are like 5 highlights of the fight on YT favoring Dirrell and none of Froch. Because it's hard to make a vid of 5 landed punches lol.
first and last mistake you can make on a boxing board is labelling other people 'lovers' and 'haters' just because you see it different. dont do that :good
Dirrell's footwork >>>>> Khan's footwork. Dirrell never ran straight backwards as if he was doing the moonwalk like Khan did. Also Peterson landed more clean shots on Khan than Froch did on Dirrell.
