    Khan/Peterson II is a decent enough fight... Berto/Porter is a cruel mismatch.

    Don't Berto have to fight Algieri?

    Funny how Khan's tune up shits on Brooks entire resume, Brook doesn't have the balls to fight Spence he's terrified.

    Don't bring up GGG because he got pulled before he got ktfo and it was a cash grab

    Very happy about Khan vs Peterson. Khan can get the decision he deserved to have squeaked out last time - providing Peterson doesn't use the blueprint on Khan. All he'll need to do after that is beat Garcia and Prescott.
    Porter will turn Berto into E.T again.

    Why is Porter fighting Berto? What's the point of that fight?

    Peterson is a good fighter and the first fight was very good. I just can't get over how he messed up the fight with Garcia. It's one of the oddest outcomes of the 'take over the second half of the fight' strategies I have seen. He spent the first few rounds actually running and didn't engage at all. Then the second half he made Garcia look completely useless.

    Khan is so scared of having has fine china shattered by a fellow Englishmen. Porter is going to seriously possibly permanently damage Berto.

    Peterson clearly lost that first fight against Khan .

    It would be cool to see Khan get revenge but I don't know if he can...

    We have no idea where he is mentally after that KO .

    Peterson on the other hand has been looking decent lately

    Say what you like about Khan, but he has one of the better resumes in boxing today and he's rarely in a bad fight.

    I don't think Khan will be able to keep Peterson off him and he won't be allowed to push excessively like he did in the first fight. I think he was deducted a point for pushing in the 11th round which cost him the fight/draw.

    Well... I think the idea is is that this would be a tune up fight as both Brook and khan are coming back from surgery. khan has said he plans to test his new hands out against someone before facing brook.

    Before it was him having draining himself to make welterweight, before that he needed a new trainer and now it's new hands lol. Only his cornershop fanboys will be swallowing this one.

    Those new hands are not going to trouble Brook when he comes to face him.
