    As opposed to bitching about the official enforcing the rules, after literally multiple warnings, focus your bitching at the guy who constantly fouled...just a thought. Khan fouled, ran, shoe shined, and attempted to steal a bull**** win from Peterson who came to fight. Initially Khan came to fight as well...until he realized Peterson wasn't Zab Judah, and actually showed up to fight, and was there for the long haul.

    That ref was on Khan's case from round one, shouting instructions in Khans ear taking away his concentration. Not a robbery but the ref's point deduction is what decided the fight.

    Namecalling.Weapon of choice for the imbecile.
    I've said on many posts the deductions won the fight.
    Now **** off and cry somewhere else.

    It might have been the fight of the year if the ref hadn't decided to make himslef the show.

    Khan needs to learn to focus ONLY on the fight. It seems he is too eager to please the crowd and secondly wants to show he has a chin by sitting there like a duck taking shots.
    He completely a bonded his jab.
    When the ref is saying "fight yourself out" he looks at the ref for help to separate them instead of fighting = No inside game.

    Yeah i agree,good luck to him,heard it on radio,he gave a valiant display whether or not the fight was a robbery.Sour grapes immediately from Khan.He should`ve done better but didn`t.

    Agree with what ur saying to a great extent.
    But the referee influenced the fight. He was shouting at only Khan from round one almost everything.

    Mayweather, pushes his opponents all the time and so does almost every other boxer. The point is it was close fight and the referee clearly favored Peterson and decided the outcome in a close fight.

    A close fight is not a robbery, I really wish people would understand that.

    Robbery of the year? LOL.

    I was actually surprised Peterson got the decision. Figured GBP was all over the score cards.

    The referee didn't "clearly favor Peterson", he "clearly favored" the guy not constantly fouling. If it wasn't the shoves, it was pushing the head down, holding, hitting on the break...the reality is Peterson didn't repeatedly foul, hence I don't see what the referee would be on Peterson's case about?
