Peterson can ONLY fight the same way, Khan will have to make adjustments..

    Freddie Roach is incapable of teaching fighters to fight inside. Look at any of his prospects, and Champions. Not one has an adaquate inside defense. James Toney did, but he was beyond being taught by the time Roach got to him. Freddie as a fighter didn't have one either, and he took alot of damage because of it.

    Peterson will use what was plan B last time as plan A this time; that much is obvious. He came out and tried to Box with Khan, and realised he can't do that. This time he will fight an inside preassure fight for all twelve rounds. (Assuming he gets a ref who allows him too. Would not be suprised to see Khan lobby for Cortez here.) Amir needs to work on creating and keeping distance, things like throwing his jab with authority, not just blazing speed but with an impact that makes Peterson hesitate. Double and tripple it up and move away at angles. Straight lines simply allow the preassure fighter momentum to build off of. If Lamont gets too close then clinch, the referee will break you and restore Khan's distance advantage.

    I can't see him adapting, and this time Peterson takes a close but clear UD. (Assuming he gets a fair shake on the score cards.)

    A "star" of what? Kahn's goose is cooked as soon as he runs into a guy with equal or greater reach that swings for the fences, e.g., Prescott.

    The WELL DESERVED penalty.

    Kahn is blah. The fact that a washed up Zab could make him ineffective so long shows that he doesn't have the tools to be on the elite level. If you slip his flurry of straights he can't even maintain punching distance. He is a great A-/B+ fighter though who is great to have in the Boxing world. Fun to watch, but nowhere near "Great".

    God I hope Peterson knocks out Khan. Khan is possibly the most unlikeable, most entitled boxer alive.

    Khan dominated Zab in a way money may could only dream about :deal

    Khan will smash Peterson, whoop Alexander at 147 before a superfight with Floyd 2013.

    I think Khan will show a few sharpened tools in this fight, and Peterson himself is going to make some changes in order to secure a more definitive victory. The dynamics are interesting.
