    He tweeted last night " Cheated not defeated ". I think it was close, Could have easily went to Khan. But it is such a shame the way he can't give Peterson a fair shake. Maybe the deduction wasn't right. But you could complain about the 1st round KD too. But since it was so close and entertaining nobody should complain. Including Khan fans and Amir himself. Can't wait for the rematch. Khan is acting Childish. Peterson was a huge underdog. Supposed to get destroyed. Yet he came and fought well. Clearly won many rounds and got the decision. But Khan can't even say " Congrats to Lamont, I thought a won but it was a close battle ".




    Still what a shame Amir.

    I don't think Khan is being petulant or ungraceful. He was cheated in my books and had many cause for complaints. This could set up an epic trilogy of fights I think.

    Exactly how i feel. Making way too many ****ing excuses, it was a close close fight many had amir winning and many had lamont taking it. i had it to Lamont by one point but throughout the night Lamont was way more composed in there than Khan and he deserved the victory. Khan could/would actually get more FANS from this close defeat if he had kept his trap shut. Instead hes put alot of people off with his bad attitude and lack of sportsmanship in accepting the loss, both fighters put on a show but khan really needs to accept that it was close and he narrowly lost. MOVE ON and give credit where its due...

    :good That body punching by Peterson was great. Thought he won slightly or maybe a draw.

    Peterson better stay AWAY from the UK. Very bad judging there. It would have honestly been 118-107 Khan or something in the Uk. Lamont cannot KO him, So he can't and won't win there.

    I thought Khan just edged it but admittedly, Lampley's cheerleading may have influenced me:oops:

    Bet he was praying for that result so he can duck him a bit longer

    I'm a Brit and will say our judges are making German judges look good.

    I'm so glad Khan lost. Hes nothing to cry about - Peterson won fair and square. He never gave Prescott any credit and hes not giving Lamont any either. **** em.

    I am, more or less, of the same opinion.

    I had it a tie as far as rounds are concerned with Amir and Lamont both taking six rounds; however, with the knock down and the point deductions I have Peterson up by one. That being said, I feel like calling it a draw is the right call.

    It could have gone either way, but I think it was pretty much a split.

    At least two of the judges would be non-british. Id be more worried about a premature stoppage.

    One knockdown was legit the fight was close and Peterson would have had more to complain about had HE not got the decision IMO
