    Peterson will look to pressure/press Khan from the first bell and does look open to uppercuts and in general pressing while ok to taking shots walking in, Khan on other hand will be looking to stay off the ropes and look to use uppercuts and make angles and will have to stand his ground more. Peterson might even walk on to something early and in the first few rounds at least Khan has the power to hurt Peterson, anything can happen.


    This fight is going to be interesting from the get set, looking forwards to Khan wining this via clear UD or a early TKO...


    One thing for sure Peterson can ONLY beat Khan with pressure, he can't come up with something new or try to box Khan in the middle of the ring.

    Khan's whole camp has been how to handle pressure let's see if he can overcome Peterson's pressure because that's all he got on Khan, Khan is the one who has to make an adjustment and try to make Peterson's pressure ineffective and score more points with his gameplan and style.

    Peterson needs to get inside. I believe the reason he had so much success was because Khan made such a fast start and had a lot of confidence and adrenaline, so he was focused more on the offensive than the defensive, plus he probably didn't have a training camp where he's focusing on what Peterson's strengths are like he will in this fight. I expect Khan to fight a lot smarter this time rather than a pleb trying to replicate a Sumo match.
