Just rewatched Khan V Peterson

I agree to an extent. Sometimes your going to feel like the ref is on your case, you can either let it be a factor or get on with it.

However i do feel the ref was awful. Yes the pushing was wrong, however i didnt think he broke the fighters up. They would be in a normal clinch and the ref was standing there and basically letting them sort it out themselves and when khan gave that little push to give him some space he'd warn him.

As for the head holding, i did think peterson came in head first a bit to much and if the ref is not going to so much as say a word to peterson then your going to avoid that head by pushing it down.

Dont get me wrong i think khan lost and peterson did amazing but the reffing was awful in my oppinion and was a factor

 

Like they'll put him in with Bailey Maximum risk NO REWARD.

 

I was just gonna' say, putting Khan in with Bailey? LOL

As Flea Man said, bigg risk and no reward, nobody outside of Hardcore fan's know who he is

 

Amir needs to reel his neck in a bit and just respect the performance of Peterson.

Yes, Khan put together some good work in the fight but ultimately he was bullied around that ring and never really halted Lamont's charge.

Roach and Khan will get their rematch and they DO deserve it but all this 'cry-baby' stuff/butter wouldn't melt stuff is bull.

 

Matt Hatton :deal

 

Khan has an uncanny "knack" of making fighters raise their game against him(Prescott/Peterson) he is always talking about his NEXT opponent,thats showing extreme arrogance,also as 1 poster said,he takes defeat really bad,he should at least give Peterson some credit.

 

Right we know its a pointless fight, probably just as pointless as Mc Closkey,or Matty Hatton as the previous posters mentioned, fight Prescott Khan get some ****ing fans behind you for avenging your loss, its gonna haunt you forever unless.

 

Khan's performance in the post-fight interview was even more shocking.

 

Could you imagine that.

 

I agree about the deductions Chubble, I don't think many pro refs would have given then but seeing as this ref clearly WAS going to give them Khan should have played it smarter.

 

I just rewatched as well. Last night I had it 113-112 Khan, but today I had it 113-112 Peterson, with round 10 being the swing round.

My thoughts: Perhaps I am being unfair, but Khan reminds me of Theo Walcott. He is all speed with very poor technique. His inside game is absolutely atrocious, his footwork is just as clumsy. He is good on the outside, but throws cuffing blows all night. Peterson hit him with the cleaner punches all night, was pressuring Khan, and caused him to foul all night long.

I don't have a problem with the 1st point off, the second was harsh, but the ref kept warning him all night. Plus, the KD in the first was probably a slip as well, so it evened itself out.

For what it's worth, Team Khan and Golden Boy have put in an official complaint of the referee. Unsubstantial IMO.

Khan showed himself a classless twat at the end, and he wonders why he doesn't have many fans.

Pleased for Peterson. But I wanted Khan to win so it's sort of bitter sweet.
