    ok maybe the ref shouldnt have taken away points from khan but he also gave khan a fake knockdown.

    It is a shame the amount of negativity surrounding this fight when what we had was 2 guys show great heart and skills who slugged it out for 12 rounds.

    I had not really cared about Amir's whining up to now cos there a lot of fighters who moan after losing a fight; but this appeal is just a waste of everyone's time in order to convince the casual fans that this was an outright robbery: it wasn't. I had Khan winning by a point but only because of a bogus KD.

    If this jeopardises a possible rematch I will be seriously pissed off and Amir will only have himself to blame; really wanna see those 2 go at it again!

    khan really been exagerating the phantom headbutts from Peterson to the british press.

    non-boxing fans have been coming upto me for the last couple of weeks and telling me how boxing is corrupt and british fighters cant get a fair decision in the states :patsch

    Khan couldn't handle Lamont's rough infighting whats he gonna do when he has to fight a veteran like floyd? or what about when timmmy flies in with a gigantic headbutt? is he gonna stop and complain while timmy batters away at him?


    and if khan was so worried about lamont coming in with his head why didn't he put him on the backfoot by throwing some punches?

    They should follow the rules in every fight then, not on a rare occasion. I will be looking to see if Andre Ward commits any fouls and if he is deducted points by the referee accordingly. Won't hold my breath.

    You are deluded, first you wanted stills now you want video. Just admit that you don't like Khan.

    unlike khan most other boxers are good at disguising their illegal tactic


    just be glad khan didn't fight bradley, he would have had a cut the size of a womb and he'd have been complaining about it while bradley threw another one.

    Because he doesn't see why he should have to. He thinks that the referee should protect him against styles of fighting that he doesn't like and that he should have kept Peterson on the outside so tgat Khan could pelt him with 8 punch flurries and run away.

    I would liken it to when I'm playing against my little nephew on FIFA and I'm absolutely hammering the poor lad (I play to win). He'll sulk and say "stop passing so much" or "stop using skills/tricks all the time". This is what Khan is doing. Peterson brought a style that he couldn't deal with and he's whining like a ***** because he wasn't protected from it.

    Still can't get over the comments about Bradley supposedly winning via a Robbery. That's ****ing **** poor discrediting another mans win when you probably ain't even seen it and making **** up. Secondly he says he spoke to Barry Hunter in private yet airs the convo which is again classless and tbh i believe 90% of that convo is made up by Khan i cannot see Hunter saying they was robbed by Bradley. That's as stupid as Katsidis thinking he beat Diaz that night.

    The final thing is the 'i'll still give him a rematch' oh my ****ing days mate your arrogance is astonishing. Hes going on like Peterson needs Khan now. Yes the rematch would generate money but lets face it Khan needs Peterson now as much as Peterson needs him. I've always found Amir arrogant but he humbled himself for a while after the savage KO (Dave Clarke grin with boss eyed look as i type) to Prescott. He went and grafted and won the title but since beating Kotelnik it's as if the titles actually harmed his development mentally.

    Cheating is cheating no matter how you do it, the punk ref singled out Khan, let's see how every fight was ref'ed by the text book, it won't happen.

    Again I repeat myself, the ref also warned Peterson for most of the fight to keep his head up when coming in, yet he did not deduct any points off him.

    Cant be one rule for Khan and another for his hometown fighter..
