This is what I don't get: there's no evidence of anything yet people are wetting themselves to see what happened? Weird... I'm seriously thinking about giving up on this sport. If Khan gets his titles back I won't be watching him in another fight.
Come off it, this means little in the grand scheme of things, some matey trying to grab back his paper titles, who cares? It's annoying, don't get me wrong, but there's too much great boxing out there to give up on it, whenever the modern game pisses me off I look through some classics to reaffirm my faith ;-)
Pacquiao-Peterson is an awful fight. HOWEVER, it would aid my college assignment greatly, so by all means get it made Bob!
I came across this great You Tube channel called Flea Boxing... great stuff on there. I was having a dramatic Rob Palmer moment. Forgie me. I am a bit sick of this pish though. Peterson has been an absolute legend throughout this debacle. It's the reason why he and Andre Ward are slowly creeping up my favourites list.
I stopped watching boxing for a wee while as a early teen, felt betrayed by the sport when i was boxing felt let down by trainers, clubs cos i couldn't get fights. Quit and felt a bit angry towards sport so decided to stop watching it. It's a drug, you can't leave it!
Things used to be a lot simpler. Too many different coloured shorts in the modern game.:verysad Simpler shorts better fights. Gomez -LaPorte both in red Hearns - Leonard both white Tapia - Ayala both black McGuigan - LaPorte both red Fancy Dans with fancy coloured shorts a ruining boxing
Scene reporting that Schaefer expects a NC due to Hatman distracting one of the judges. "Richard Schaefer has told Sky Sports that he expects Amir Khan's fight with Lamont Peterson to be declared a no-contest in the coming days.* The furor over a ringside 'mystery man', later revealed to be Mustafa Ameen, an IBF official who attended the fight but was not on official business and was adjudged to be distracting judge George Hill, who gave the fight to Lamont by 112-113"
Defending himself on *Facebook last night, Ameen said: “So you are questioning if I did something to harm my Muslim brother? May almighty Allah protect me from what you and the rest of you assert. Don’t make assumptions based on allegations.”
Hatman probably distracted both. Peterson must be furious. I still feel a little troubled about the whole affair & the possibility of a link back to Peterson's trainer. The whole thing is bizarre. Possibly why IBF has instructed lawyers & is refusing to comment. Bottom line is there's a re-match. Can't wait to watch it - there'll be real beef between both fighters so should make for a cracking buildup
