    He's obviously looking to get out of synch with the winner of Bradley-Alexander and who can blame him? He was extremely lucky to beat Maidana and would probably take a beating against Bradley. Peterson should be easy.

    Yeah. He's avoiding Bradley, just like he was avoiding Maidana.

    peterson will pull a victory from this 1, khan was heavily exposed in the maidana fight, no inside game what so ever and baisically wobbled from every shot that maidana landed.

    Except Peterson isn't an inside fighter and he doesn't punch hard.

    The reason why Amir didn't look too good in his last outting, was because he was up against a style that has always been a nightmare for him.

    Peterson is a pretty decent opponent. There's a few better ones out there, but for after the Maidana fight I'm not complaining.

    Peterson was the best possible fight he could take because ortiz was out of the question, so credit to khan! I think khan has got this by UD or possible late tko like malignaggi fight, peterson is good but he aint got nothing on king khan!

    I'd rather see khan in a competitive fight he is in danger of losing. One that has intrigue and tense moments.

    Any news on when tickets go on sale?

    Mostly yeah, once a domestic fighter gets to a certain level it's almost a guarantee you need to start forking out to see them.

    We get floyd and pac fights for free, but have to pay for khan haye and froch.

    Wlad chisora won't be on ppv because chisora isn't a household name yet so it is likely to just be on sky sports.

    Their policy is 1 ppv a month.

    this is the ideal fight for amir. peterson is more than a live apponant. he can punch a little, is technically gifted and has good speed and skill. this is no walk over but a fight amir should win. the fight everyone wants to see including me is amr khan vs tim bradley. alexander is a good fighter but like most i see khan and tim as the two most skilled, gifted guys in the division. now why do people want amir to risk a ko before that match up. amir should beat prescott or ortiz but this is boxing and anything could happen, lets be realistic!

    fighting kotelnik, mallignaggi, maidana, peterson and bradley one after another isnt too bad going if you ask me. not for a 24 yo any way!

    Peteerson is a good fighter and one of the best fights out there for khan! But khan has more than enough skill to beat him!
    I heard a few years ago peterson sparred with floyd and got the better of him and it turned into a scuffle, not too sure if any of that is true!
    Good fight nonetheless

    He wouldn't get any attention if he didn't.

    You think boxing blogs, vlogs and newspapers would flock to him if all he did was spout niceties about boxers? He is known for criticizing any fighter that does well with false accusations of PEDs and such.

    But I don't blame the man, it's the only thing that keeps him connected to the world of boxing :yep
