Just when we thought we were out, Khan files an "official protest"

He's gonna completely underestimate him in the rematch thinking he needs to make no adjustments as long as he gets a fair shake.

He's just coming across as a right **** lately.

Even on ringside when he was asked "70% of our viewers thought peterson won the fight, can you see where they're coming from" and he replies with "well 90% of people i've spoke to think I won" so cringeworthy.

 

I saw the title of this thread and thought it was one from like 1 week ago!

All I can say is atsch, maybe with a touch of :| for added effect.

 

Even if by some miracle the decision is overturned, in the eyes of most impartial observers Khan got his arse kicked.

That'll never change.

Just avenge your defeat like a man.

Perhaps they're slightly concerned at how willing Peterson is to do it again?

 

Peterson should tell khan he wants $10mil for the rematch or go get ****ed.

Then see khan act like even more of a diva.

****ing bufoon really doesn't realise the damage he's doing to his already dwindling reputation.

 

This has nothing to do with Peterson, he did nothing wrong.

It's the Ref and Judges they are after.

I just have one question.

If you keep getting warned for something over and over again should get a point deducted?

So let's say pushing is a foul, it's a light foul compared to headbutts and elbows, but you still get 2 points deducted because you repeat the foul.

Peterson was also thoughout out the fight was coming in head first, low into Khan chin and chest area, again this is a minor foul but Peterson kept getting warned to keep his head up, but no points were taken off him.

If you start deducting points for pushing, surley keep coming in with head low is similar level foul, a light foul.

In my view both are not a big deal, but the ref made a deal out of Khan's foul that's the difference.

 

I just hope they give peterson the lion share of the purse in their offer. If not peterson should tell khan to go fuk himself.

Lamont doesn't need amir, he can fight guerrero, bradley, judah, matthyse, kotelnyk, morales, rios, soto etc.

 

Pushing is a serious foul. Especially in the context of this fight, Khan was getting manhandled on the inside and to avoid that situation he thought he could just push. I'm afraid not. Excellent refereeing.

 

It's a shame not every ref plays the game by the book, in every fight then someone will have points deducted.


Boxing would be so fun to watch.

 

That was actually some of the best reffing I've seen in ages. Finally a ref with balls that warns and then actually takes a point for something thats completely illegal and can affect the outcome of a fight but just because it doesn't inflict physical damage people overlook. Kinda like holding. Far from being a light foul, if its allowed to happen it stops Peterson implementing a perfectly legit gameplan that exposes his opponent.

Khan being the precious one dimensional fighter he is thinks he has a divine right to fight on the outside and avoid having to confront his weaknesses up close. Then he has the audacity to complain about it after numerous warnings.

Well done Washington + Ref.

 

^^^ Absolutely.

But Khan's even complained that he wasn't warned enough :nut

 

Funnily enough I agree with you here, it's just a shame it's a one off, and that won't happen again in my view.

The thing is there are lots of fouls going on in fights and the ref's turn their eyes to them, if we go by the book all the time we will have points deducted in every fight.

How would that effect the sport?

 

It wouldn't. If theres as many fouls unpunished as you claim surely it'd all even out? Except for the clean fighters. Fighters would have to adjust their tactics as well, for the better. There would be more fighting and less of everything else.

I'm not going to sit here and criticize a ref for going against the grain, just because everybody else allows bias/incompetency to effect their officiating.
