Compare Lamont Peterson's "Loss" against Garcia, to Peterson's "Win" vs Khan

I had Khan by 1 point over Peterson

I had Peterson by 1 or 2 points over Garcia

Khan did a better job against Peterson than Garcia considering he had so much more against him...

Despite the consistent damage Peterson put on Khan it wasn't ever really THAT one sided - whilst Peterson gave Garcia a one sided beatdown in the ends rounds.

 

I thought Khan beat Peterson by a point I think. Haven't seen or scored the Garcia fight in its entirety yet. But Peterson was also caught for PEDs from the Khan fight plus the scorecard controversy and the fact that he hadn't yet been sparked by Matthysse, Khan gets more credit for his performance vs Peterson than Garcia imo.

 

Also deep down I really think Peterson is still gaming the USADA testing system.

When he was goofing around in round 7 I was just thinking "welp this guy is back on the PEDS" He boxed supperbly..Garcia made him look like an elite fighter from mid fight onwards lol.

*puts on tin foil hat*

VADA & USADA if I were ever to fight Peterson.

 

There was clearly an unauthorized IBF official ringside messing the scorecards (was confirmed by the man himself and the IBF) The judge declined to comment.

Look at this guy: http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article6286917.ece/alternates/w620/Pg-21s-hatman-ap.jpg

 

True Khan tried to make more of it than it was

But also it was in Peterson's hometown and Khan deserves some credit for that.

 

Peterson never really won the battle with Khan like he did with Garcia. Garcia looked defeated in the final rounds whereas Khan just couldnt do enough to break peterson. Both tight to score round by round but peterson looked like the better man against Garcia whereas with Khan it was just like Peterson pushed Khan hard.
I can accept a Garcia win through a certain criteria but it felt ilike peterson won.

 

if you saw him training or even watched the specials, dude was training something fierce, I had Peterson beating dsg clearly and had khan beating Peterson clearly. even with the 2 bogus point deductions I still had khan a point winner. I didn't score the dsg fight yet but I remember Peterson swept the second half and had to grab a round or 2 while dsg was missing wildly.

dsg did do lots of body work that gets over looked but he lost to me. and the 10th, 11th and 12th I thought dsg was going down at least a kd. he proved how tough he that he stayed up while so drained from the tough fight and taking clean shots off the chin

Make of it what you will...but that shouldn't be happening.

 

I had Khan winning closely and Peterson winning closely in the Garcia fight.

But it shows once again the weakness of the 10 point must scoring system. It doesn't neccesairely reflect what's going on in the ring, as well as an easy influenced method if a judge wants to score it for one fighter.
Due to the 10-9 method you can easily score a fight a draw if you have 6 razor close rounds and 6 clear rounds for one fighter, wich is insane if you think about it. And it can be influenced by the referee too, taking away points for minor infrigments while letting the other fighter get away with virtually everything.

 

Good point. I think the 10-10 for scoring a round even should be used more often, especially in close or early feeling-out type rounds. it might help reward a fighter for winning a round convincingly.
