I know you're slow, Darni. It's ok. I'll repeat my feelings for you: I think rematch is a good idea, but the attempts to justify and defend it are pathetic and alternately hilarious. If they simply said "It was a really close fight and we believe the officiating merits a rematch" then that would be fine. What they've done instead is drag Peterson, Hunter and Ameen through the mud and, pathetically, the WBA have joined in. There's no real reason to demand a rematch - Khan was unlucky but there was no foul play. If this went to court it would be laughed out the building. Khan has made the sport a laughing stock by alleging corruption where there is no evidence of any.
The sport is corrupt, maybe not this fight, but corruption is rife. The sport is already as laughing stock with home town decisions, clear winners losing on the scorecards.
The nicest guy in boxing should have stuck to his word and given Khan a rematch, rather than chasing fights he'll never win. The nicest guy in boxing is just after money like Khan and the rest are.
df,no point mate,if this lot think khan and his cronies are justified in acting like complete twats,moaning,wingeing and behaving rather unbritish, let them,they aint got a clue,not a ****ing clue:deal
Only seen the video a few times, are those the judges sat next to the dude with the red tie? If so, surely there was some interference there cos while Hatman was doing his thang, they weren't even watching the fight properly. If they weren't judges then fair enough.
I think Petersons wrong for Khan the whole situation kinda reminds me of the following scene in Rocky 2 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VALvC5MoUM&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VALvC5MoUM&feature=related[/ame]
How did everyone here react when Lennox took Rahman to court to secure rematch after his defeat? Not to mention the insults and belittling he did in the press. He should have just accepted his defeat and moved on...right?
RING-rankings full rankings- not the sanctioning bodies that Khan paid 10 grand to recently No 1 Bradley No 2 Peterson No 3 Khan the wba crooks CANNOT alter this Peterson needs to fight Bradley for the universally recognised undsiputed title Ignore the sore loser his rematch will always be there if peterson loses
