    Peterson beat Khan close Garcia wide. Both Khan and Garcia are over rated.

    If Khan fought Matthyssse he'd be blown away in 3 rounds so let's not just hype Khan silly now. Both Khan and garcia are over rated.

    Khan was lucky not to be DQ'd against Peterson.

    Let's not forget Peterson was on certain substances vs Khan.

    Danny "Gift" Garcia looked far worse against Peterson than Khan did.

    Khan easily beat Peterson

    Although Peterson looks so much more complete now

    Would love to see khan rematch him

    Garcia looks like the biggest hype job since wilder

    Garcia has just looked worse and worse... I don't think he can beat any elite fighters anymore. I think he was always limited, and now everyone has him figured out. He got gifts against Herrera, and Peterson and he knows it, the boxing world knows it.... He's not a boxer puncher, he's a rudimentary brawler who as of late makes even Maidana look advanced! Maidana would probably give Garcia a beatdown! If gift wants to redeem himself he needs to give Herrera, and Peterson rematches.

    I had both of those fights 6 rounds to 6, but the difference was that Peterson got the 2 point deductions to Khan's knockdown

    So 114-114 drawing with Garcia and 114-113 beating Khan

    True that. The example you used is really mindblowing, one fighter could have 6 close rounds scored to his opponent, 6 rounds in wich he school his opponent, and the fight be scored a draw, when all he did was putting a beating for 12 rounds.

    Unreliable system, but it won't be changed, it can't, unfortunately. :-(

    I think Peterson clearly outboxed and outfought both guys.

    He relies too much in that big telegraphed left hook.

    He did NOTHING to deserve a disqualification. The referee was just trying to steal points.

    I find it ironic in close fights which are the only times we actually we need judges, nobody wants to listen to them and they make up their own scores...lol.

    Khan under Virgil would have just clinched Peterson in them situations (rather then push)..Maybe he should learn to use his elbow also like Floyd.

    1 point for pushing is fair maybe...but he didn't even get warned properly.
