The ref did seem to favor peterson some. But he warned khan time after time for pushing and told him in the 6th it was the final warning. I think khan deserved deductions for pushing. As for the hbo staff.. I normally like them but last nite I thought they were bias as hell towards their star fighter khan. Kellerman, I think, would like to speak the truth but he is nothing more than hbo's puppet
The ref was pro Peterson...they were in D.C. and let's not forget...there still is a black president...duh. He wasn't breaking them up and letting them fight out of clinches because he knew that breaking them up would benefit Kahn as the more rugged style was pro Peterson.
The reason he did not break it up is their would not have been a fight because Khan was running holding or pushing Petersons head down or head locks so when he seen a chance for them to fight he let them if he seperated them Khan would go back to running.
HBO team was pathetic in their ball washing of Khan...Kellerman first agreed the deductions (but like in other recent fights) but by the end had changed his tune, and was spitting the company line. They never mentioned the BS knockdown, didn't want to accept the blatant fouls, it was gay as **** simple and plain.
