    Just curious. I live in USA so I didn't see. What were there scores like? I am sure they thought it was " a bloody robbery. "

    They had it 113-112 Peterson actually. I always watch Sky, can't stand HBO.

    I think someone said "Khan can't have any complaints about that" and they had Peterson winning, Mathew Macklin was better than the actual commentators

    they were also very concerned about Khan's pushing, noting repeatedly that he continued to do it after the first point was taken and that he was tempting fate.

    I was very impressed with how they commentated, the first 2 rounds they wer all backing khan but as the fight progressed they gave unbiased commentary on both fighters and even commented on khan constant pushing and how he had been warned so why continue to do it, as stated already, was refreshing lol

    The guy on the Enlgish radio had khan winning, but said if he lost it was his own fault, Malignaggi was on this radio programme, he had Khan.

    The Sky boxing team is fair the most part. No bias with them.

    Yep, one even mentioned that the ref had warned Khan multiple times before penalizing him.

    props to sky for keeping it 100
     
  14. Why would people in Uk want to back a man who wants to leave the country ?
    Not much to like about Khan. I enjoyed seeing him exposed and so did my vcash.

    As a Brit I don't have a problem with that, sometimes athletes perform better when they live in another country. e.g. Skiers from all over the world (inc America, UK etc) live here in Austria. The highest paid Austrian sports -star plays ice hockey in Canada.
