khan has succeed in what he really wanted he has cast doubt over his loss and the majority of people (most of won't have watched the fight ) will believe he was robbed and will chalk it up to boxing corruption.I bet lamont peterson is pissed
Quit being a fool. The IBF are currently the most credible organisation by some distance. No super champs, no regular titles, no diamond belts, no silver belts, no interim champs ... and beating Youssef Al Hamidi won't insure you a top 15 ranking. Yes they are a bit too militant when it comes to enforcing mandatories, but other than that they are much, much better than the other big three.
kingkhan may be a bit of a troll, but he's just told us two facts. The IBF lost their scorecards and that dude was not working that night and should not have been there. Whether there's super champs, interim champs, big ranking after fighting a nobody or not, that does not tie into the wrongs of the IBF whatsoever. **** like that dude celebrating with Team Peterson makes me more and more skeptical.

Look i'm not saying the Ibf are perfect far from it; I remember when they asked Robin Reid for £10,000 just to investigate the Ottke travesty! Nevertheless, at this moment in time we don't know if 'the twat in the hat' was anything other than a meddling bufoon whose conduct had any real influence on the outcome. Let's await for conclusive confirmation of who he is, (as far as i'm aware the Ibf have refused to comment on his identity, and Schaefer is the only one to have linked him to the organisation), and whether his actions were of any consequence, before blaming the Ibf.
dear amir, why don't you analise every world title fight in slow motion and try to identify who everyone is, and who's looking at the cards, and who's talking to the other person we don't know. go on please open a great big pandora's box of mysteries and slightly contentious contests . oh ,please amir why don't you ruin the essence of the sport of men which i love like a child. with your poor approach to an event because of your inability to have the fight your own way. i think that your semi-stardom may be controlling you and would perhaps suggest counselling to help you grow some. in the words of mick jagger "you can't always get what you want" yours sincerely. rhinocoote.
If he had no credentials he wouldnt be allowed to get that involved in the whole scoring process. If he didnt work for the IBF then they would simply deny it & not refuse to make comment & Shaefer knows his name but is not at liberty to say who he is.
Don't be a jackass. It shows nothing of the sort - read my other posts before you start wittering about being objective. I didn't believe the deductions were unfair but I did think they were harsh. I thought the 115-110 card in Khan's favour was laughable but that a one point win, before deductions was a fair reflection of the fight. So the deductions were harsh, the two cards that had it close were not. I've been entirely balanced over what happened in the ring. Where my patience has slipped is Khan and co's post-fight behaviour which is crass and disrespectful to Peterson, the belt orgs and the fans. But we've got a Sky poll that says 70% believed Peterson won. Ring Talk's podcast had 50% voting for Peterson with 18% or something going for a draw. 49% on the Scene's forum had Peterson winning it. Press reports were split, but there's been a slight edge to Peterson. Certainly Khan was not an "obvious" winner, which is what I took exception to. Don't try and paint me as a hater - I'm fed up of Khan and his whiny fans (Lax excluded). I'm also fed up of people trying to make out there's some moral or logical justification for this Hatman to be investigated. I've seen no evidence at all that there was fixing going on - except for the ridiculous 115-110 card for Khan. That looked like pretty clear bias. Re-read the "****ed up" comment and try not to take it so literally. In a sport where we enjoy one guy knocking another out it's a little touchy to get upset over a very generic comment. I would never wish serious harm on any fighter, but seeing Khan get beaten comprehensively would amuse me. I'll get my wish if he ever gets a Mayweather fight. One comment proves nothing. You took a single comment out of context and applied it to an entire debate. Not the most sound technique.
