    I've given up on 'adjustments' for Khan. I think the best adjustment they ever made with him was slightly improving on his recklessness and most of all getting into great shape so that he can take more punishment.

    I don't see any technical improvements, he still thinks doggy paddles are legitimate combinations, then when he tires he just starts to move more and more and become more ragged.

    So, you applaud taking points from Khan for pushing, but everyone has to swallow it when officiating rules have been breached and there is at least the possibility of one of Petersons trainers chums ****ing around with scorecards. Thats rank double standards mate, fueled no doubt by your irrational hate of Khan....wheres your objective judgement and balance?

    No, it wasn't clearfully obvious to a large number, probably at least half the people who posted on here during the fight.

    Peterson has a higher profile now & will be able to earn more in his next fights, though I scored the fight to Khan & thought the ref was sub-standard I accepted the result.

    I thought Khan handled the loss badly but Hat Man changed my opinion on the result, which you can't say is 100% legitimate.

    If the judges dont score a close fight like I do from my sofa then I wont complain. If the officials dont follow the proper procedures & have someone involved in the scoring process who had no reason or right to be there then how can the result be defended as fair & correct?

    Rules are there for a reason you can't let someone unofficial (hatman) potentially influence the Judges aswell as get hold of the scorecards.

    I don't think it was a clear win for either fighter TBH a draw probably would of been fair.

    They'll have no problem selling tickets for a rematch, then can each bank $1.5 million, no problem.

    I don't think that Peterson was headbutting, he was leading with his head which is different and if Khan had had anything about him could have been countered easily using the uppercut (a tool he doesn't have)....I've watched this sport for nearly 40 years and have never seen a fighter have points deducted for pushing, just saying....I've also never seen a blues brother assisting in the scoring process either.

    oh absolutely i agree, it looks very dodgy mate i thought the ref wasn't great but scored it to peterson by one or two i think, he fought the fight of his life and really wowed me, i think he was a worthy winner and i was cheering for khan.

    However Khan has handled this like a spoilt brat and Peterson would have every right to feel aggrieved if his belts were taken off him, its ok saying he's got a higher profile, but im sure if he was a unified world champ he'd sell a few more tickets than not being one. I think Khan should be the bigger man and say "dont take his belts off him, I'll win them back if you order an immediate rematch" thats making the best of a bad situation but he wont.

    Just to make it clear im not hating on Khan or being irrational (i hope) just think it's harsh on Peterson to take his belts when he probably wasnt involved in the shadiness and won the fight in the ring, however Khan has come across some dodginess which should fairly get him at least a rematch

    I dont see why people cant seperate the issues.

    Chisora-Helenius was a terrible decision but a legitimate result.

    It happens all the time, always has done & always will.

    I dont see how anyone can defend the Khan-Peterson result as being 100% official or correct.

    Its a definate NC imo the IBF & Hat Man are responsible for turning an entertaining fight into an embarassing farce.

    just to clarify i understand the point youre making, just feel it would be harsh on peterson to erase the fight of his life, his hold on the belts and wish there was some middle ground :good i have no agenda toward khan or peterson, if anything im a khan fan but think peterson won
