    Khan will make adjustments this time and limit Peterson success on the inside by tieing him up and also standing his ground more and using more uppercuts, also the ref will play a part in not allowing Peterson too much time on the inside and will break them up.

    Cant wait for this fight.

    The question is who has learned more the first fight. The fight is the toss up. The fighter that made the right improvements will win. I'm not betting on that one.

    Amir Khan actually thinks he won the last fight convincingly so I don't think he'll even try to make any adjustments and lose a close a decision again. I wouldn't rule out a KO but Peterson is featherfisted.

    That's an overstatement. Especially to the body he hits quite well.

    its going to be a very good fight . but i think khan should get him in at a neutral site.

    but the winner has so many options. they could fight the big boys manny or floyd

    they can go after JMM before he retires

    at 140 or 147 there are alot of fighters

    I think it is highly likely Peterson will win again....unless GBP inserts Cortez or a WWE referee who allows holding and pushing off.

    If that happens, many doors will be open to him. He's not so good that other fighters will duck him, but respected enough to have a belt and be a good name on a resume.

    I've always thought he would win the rematch.I still think the first fight was a "perfect storm" for Lamont,though I'd be happy if I'm wrong.He's one of the goodguys.I thought Khan was a lock for the first fight until a couple days before when two well informed Khan fans gave excellent posts explaining why it would be anything but easy for Amir.
    What do you think about this time Rico? and who was the other poster who gave excellent breakdowns?
    I think Amir's in trouble if he loses.First port of call could be Kell Brook.

    Ill be suprised if peterson employs the same tactics as the first fight. To simply brawl with khan the first time was a shock move, peterson had never fought like that. Its not to say khan doesnt know how to deal with an opponent who is continously walking him down (maidana) unfortuantely his bravado and showing everyone he could take a punch a few times was his down fall. Khan will win this, as long as he uses his boxing brain!

    What do you mean if ? You should check out Khan's Twitter feed, too busy partying & is still delusional blaming his loss first time round squarely on Hatman & some dodgy scoring.... Peterson will win even bigger this time round :deal
