    Let's not forget that the main reason Khan went to DC was because that's where they could sell tickets, off the name of Lamont Peterson.

    because its not illegal to keep your head down, its illegal to headbutt

    lamont did not commit an offence.

    Because Khan, despite what his team likes to believe, is not a draw is the US. Every fight, GBP has papered the house to fill those seats.

    He’s not even a big TV draw it seems – considering the “success” of his PPVs, he went running back to Sky with incredible haste when it opened its doors to him again. Oh, wait – that will be about “exposure” even though he didn’t need that “exposure” when his greedy arse went PPV in the first place.

    Face facts, Go Getta, Khan is not a superstar. He can draw a crowd in the UK but people haven’t taken to him as a mainstream fighter.

    If it wasn't an offence why was the ref telling Peterson to stop doing it then? It is an offence to have your head too low. it is illegal to use your head to make contact with the opponents body.

    but his head was below the waist. using yr head to push or lean on your opponent is illegal

    he said 'watch your head'

    its also like when a fighter throws a punch to the belt line the ref yells keep them up

    its illegal if you get caught maybe khan should disguise his illegal moves like floyd does his elbows, bernard does his hip/thigh shots and headbutts or how cotto does his low blows or how marquez does his feet stepping.

    elite fighters learn how to foul.

    No, he asked him to be careful with the head because he was coming in low. That’s just advice, same as telling a fighter to keep their shots up if they’re constantly landing on the belt line.

    The only people who feel Khan was the victim of a great injustice are Khan, his family, a few journalists and his fans. All fifty of you.

    lamont wasnt keeping it too low he dipped down and up

    and theres is no rule about not making contact with your head on your opponents body if that was so corrales and castillo would have been banned from boxing and julio cesar chavez wouldn't have been the best mexican fighter ever.

    Yeah but the problem was Khan was just so blatant with it. He was doing full on playground shoves in there, lol
