RingTV.com: Your thoughts on the Khan-Peterson fight and the sentiment surrounding the penalties assessed against Khan by the referee?

Steve Smoger: Well I can't comment on a fellow brother referee, but I will tell you that in my career, I have never seen such an accentuation on the "foul of pushing."
In my view, a fighter who is endeavoring to evade a clinch or move out can sometimes try to execute what may appear to be a push, but he's seeking an advantage in order that he get his inside combinations off.

If one fighter is endeavoring to clinch, and another fighter -- I always maintain that if a fighter does not want to be held, then he can work his way out.
Sometimes that entails breaking away from the other fighter, which could be conceived as "pushing." In my career, I have never -- N-E-V-E-R-- taken a point for pushing.
So I want to comment not on Joe Cooper. He's a friend of mine. He saw fit to implement it in that regard, but you could say that I would not have done it. I would not have taken points in that situation there.

I have worked Amir Khan's fights. I had him with Paulie Malignaggi. He was respectful, and he was clean and I had no problems with him. I accept his explanation that he was weary of Lamont Peterson's head.

RingTV.com: Overall, in your estimation, was Khan-Peterson a clean, action-packed fight?
SS: I would have in essence, I may have issued a warning when there was an elbow involved. And there was an elbow involved on one of Khan's pushes. Then, I would have given a warning.
Because that could have been considered illegal use of an elbow. But I would not have taken points. Clearly I would not have taken points. Whatever he did that night did not rise to that level. Point deductions are very, very severe.

And if you want a textbook case on why you have to be very, very careful in taking points, you just saw a referee inject himself to the degree that his decision-making changed two world titles on one night.

You understand what I'm saying? Without those two points, Khan would have won on either a majority decision or unanimous decision. So if ever there was a textbook case of being very, very careful with point deduction, that's it.

This is the one that will be debated at seminars, because a title changed hands not only on the fighters' skill and will, but the onus on the decision-making was in the hands of the referee. And I don't feel that was warranted.

 

Amir got jobbed.

 

Big Ragu has the best boxing analysis vids on Youtube.

 

Interesting that he has now contested the decision as well as keeping the belts. Khan is a joke.

interesting analyis

 

Think of Robin Reid v Svete Ottke.At least Khan wasn`t warned for hitting clean punches!!Biggest robbery of all time was Ottke win over Reid.

 

Dwyer thinks:

This loss might be a win. The setback might be a step forward. He has a underdog field to him. Work on his defence. Take opponents on who weren't going to push him defensively whilst building up his game.

Good advice for Khan

 

Latest on #overturnthedecision IBF have said they've lost the origional scorecards!, ps straight after the fight the referee, the comission and all the judges dissapeared there was no one there to comment. The WBA are willing to overturn the decision but the IBF are not co orperating, and a rematch doesn't look like its happening either as team peterson r looking to fight other opponents

------

Not looking good for Team Khan is it? lol

Bitterness...

 

Is Amir on his ****ing period? ****ing man up Amir and stop bitching. Pushing is against the rules, the ref clearly called you on it 83 times before taking a point, besides your ass got a bull**** knockdown early on.

The only person that ****ed up Amir was you, you looked past Lamont and was more worried about jawing about Mayweather than you were about winning the fight and Lamont whooped your ass.

 

You Brits can be a sad bunch at times (And when I say Brits I guess I'm not referring to all you, but your journalists here). Let's not make this out to be Holyfield-Lewis because it isn't.

 

More complaining

I cant really believe what this has turned into, there really shouldn't be much of an issue with the result, it was a close fight that could have went either way and that's exactly what happened. Khan was given enough warnings before it got to the stage of points being taken off but he is too stupid to take a telling.
