For the record I had Khan up to rounds. I was actually at the fight so I only saw 1 point deduction, and the kd in the first rd looked like bull****. Most of DC thought Khan won the fight, but we didn't mind him losing because he was running, and holding. Khan fans said it's was Mayweather does, and I disagree. I think Khan was 50 percent plain running, and 50 percent using ring generalship. I most admit at times it was hard to tell because he was pushing off, and hook peterson's head. It's Kind of like a tito vs Hoya thing. Khan most blame himself. By the way peterson is supposed to one of the lightest hitters in the division you shouldn't be running if you're a self proclaimed p4p. Khan's fans are very respectable, or maybe they didn't want to get their ass beat in DC. Lots of his fans came from Philly and they all agreed he wants none with Pretty Boy Mayweather.
It's a huge flaw in Khan's game, why can't he just pivot? He needs to watch Marquez, he wastes so much energy running like that. Plus it can't impress the judges, at times he looked like he just wanted to get as far away from Peterson as possible.
Cotto did far more running than Khan did yet no one seems to want to call Miguel on it. Khan was a warrior compared to the Rican.
just in case you forgot what the fight looked like [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCe-QR22nCA[/ame]
ring generalship is the ability to control your opponents movement & position without actually touching him. khan cant do that he just plains runs
lol you should go watch basketball its quite easier to score.. if the ball goes in the hole its good for either 3 or 2 points... because your a ****ing moron if you say khan performed "like" cotto, haha if he would have he wouldnt have lost
This, someone actually said ortiz controlled the ring against mayweather the whole fight because he was chasing mayweather. No he didnt mayweather moved and countered the hell out of him. It is who has the other guy where he wants him. If someone gets the other guy on the ropes but doesnt land **** when he gets him there then he didnt control ****.
Problem is, although the champion, Khan fought as if he were the challenger. Peterson fought as if he wanted the win, and he owned that ring from the second round on. Anyone with eyes could see that Khan wanted no part of Peterson's game and held, pushed, ran, and turned his back throughout the night attempting to flee from Peterson's onslaught. No doubt that Peterson ruled that ring last night, and ruled Khan as well. Great win for Peterson! I always knew one day this fighter would be a world champion. Now, the only question is when will his brother pick up a belt.
