why u ducking me?

 

ok fine i will come down to birmingham show me your picture, your name and where to find your ****** ass.

 

That's because you had a bunch of angry Irish men moving it along. Seriously though, through sheer consistency this is better than most build up threads, even if it's not your best.

I just wrote a reply to this and my internet cut out. I'll just write a shorter account.

Anyways, Khan by a 9-3 type decision. Peterson's at his best coming forward but it'll play into Khan's hands because he's a bit plodding and not so high-octane, which is what usually bothers Khan. I think he'll be chasing shadows to an extent a lot of the time due to the disparity in footspeed and his lack of real ability in cutting off the ring.

He's inconsistent during fights too. I enjoyed the Cayo fight and thought Peterson was impressive, but at the same time he did show some things that would make you think Khan could beat him without a lot of hassle. He's a bit odd to watch in terms of finding range, I remember in the Cayo fight he did it on like a roundly basis, one round he'd have him right on the end of his jab and his right hand and would school the guy, next round he was following him around and falling short every time. He was good, but at the same time not that good if you get me.:huh

He tends to get frustrated and when he does he drops his hands, when he does Khan will rack up points. For the most part I think he'll be outmoved and will take a lot of leather to the arms, but in every fight at some point he gets annoyed at not having success and drops his arms, and I think Khan will really take advantage here, he's very quick(obviously) and good at timing his flurries when he sees an opening, he'll land quite a bit on Peterson before moving back out of there.

I'm sure Lamont will nick two or three rounds where he'll land his 1-2 on a couple of occasion, but that's the best I see him doing. He's a snappy puncher but doesn't have the dynamite to turn things around if he's in a perilous position. He's a good, solid fighter who I'm a fan of but a level or two below Khan I think, who'll struggle to stop one of the toughest guys in the division. If he does stop Peterson I think it might be controversial.

All my opinion of course, what has you so concerned? Or is it your usual worrying just because Khan's got a fight that's close?

 

What I posted was not racism just some clown with heartburn due to Khans success.

 

go **** yourself, your not getting any of that info, i can tell you where we meet up and what time to come, you'll see me when we meet up dickhead.

 

why dont you just come to plaistow like you originally said?

i live off hollybush street not far from the station.

 

op

 

I wouldn't even pay attention to YouTube comments, very rarely do you see one that actually makes any sense. For instance, I was watching Rios-Murray at like 5 this morning, and in the most recent comment some guy said:

''Rios is soooooo boring, all he does is punch the other guy and get punched back.''

:blood

Nah, that makes perfect sense, good post.:good

Peterson's certainly one of the more versatile fighters Khan's faced, I was probably harsh when I said he was at his best coming forward, he's probably just as good at getting on his bike and countering too. He doesn't really excell in many areas but he's solid in almost all and wields greater fundamentals than the likes of Maidana. I'm certainly a fan of his, albeit a fan who doesn't think he's a top-level fighter.

I just have my reservations about him, for example:

The first round he was excellent, absolutely schooled Cayo. Only carried his hands low when out of range, put the earmuffs on whenever Cayo threw, and picked his shots perfectly. He landed with almost every jab, chose the right moments to put in single punches to the body, just really good stuff. Then in the second it deteriorates to an extent. He ditches what worked for him in the previous round, falls shorts with his own punches and falls into Cayo's counters, as well as allowing his guard to be punctured a lot.

He did it against Bradley too, whenever he had a modicum of success he'd veer away from what was making him do so well. Obviously he fixed it against Cayo and then looked really good, I just find him to be really inconsistent during fights.

Plus I think Khan's beginning to rectify some of his flaws, mainly falling short. How often did he do it against Judah? Not very often, and that was a fight where people expected it to be blatant. He was over-eager against McCloskey but disciplined against Zab and he reaped the benefits of it, timed his assaults very well and always in range. I think Peterson will represent a greater challenge, but I don't think he'll be able to prevent Khan from getting his shots off, so he'll have to rely on ensuring that his own work is superior.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Peterson the first guy since Prescott with similar height/reach to Khan? He could be troubled in that regard, seeing as he can't rely on height as his method of avoiding punches. I just don't think Peterson can stand off and box without getting frustrated(though I actually think he'd probably be better off doing that than pressuring) and he'll start advancing, and the way he goes forward kind of plays into Khan's hands, he certainly doesn't close range down in the same energy-sapping way as Maidana.

I think he could have a good chance, but he's too ill-disciplined and doesn't maintain his gameplan enough in my opinion. Which is why I'll think he'll suffer a ssimilar defeat to that of the Bradley fight, competitive but wide. Khan will do extremely well to equal Timbo's showing though, which was almost a masterclass.

 

Uh oh, look away now, Saj has made it onto HBO
