Khan withdraws appeal

They're not, because Ameen was attending.

 

I don't think the IBF would reject a rematch, they just aren't forcing one.

Anyone with half a clue knows that the WBA aren't ordering a return on integrity grounds, and they don't give two shits about Khan either. All they've done is looked at the sanctioning fees that this fight would generate as opposed to X vs Y and acted accordingly.

That's why the decision was made in about three seconds flat.

 

He was leaning in with his head was warned a lot of times with no points off. You dont need to headbutt to get points off. He was putting the head in Khan got caught a couple of times then tried to avoid it and started pushing. This rematch wont happen Peterson knows he will get stopped that ruins any chance of big pay days where as fighting pac man first he will still have options when he gets beat. Khan was silly dropping the appeal he will go for Mayweather soon and have his career ended.

 

Well how many points would be off each fight if they started giving deductions for "his head was close"? C'mon.

Peterson knows he will get stopped? :huh What evidence is there to suggest that he gets stopped?

 

Where on earth are you getting this bull**** from? Peterson walked through Khan for the vast majority of the fight.

 

If Khan had stayed to the game plan and though like had in the first Peterson wouldnt have got through another round. Ask yourself why has Peterson not agreed a rematch?

Peterson was roughing Khan up by coming in with his head if you cant see the difference then your blinded by your hatred for Khan.

Khan underestimated Peterson and got the decision he deserved for his attitude and the way he conducts himself but from a neutral point of view and scored fairly Khan won that fight.

 

Do you understand what neutral is, much less how to score a fight neutrally?

Coming in with the head low is an absolutely legitimate tactic against a fighter who is very predictable and simply flurries 1-2's to the head. All Khan seems to talk about is how 'Peterson came in with his head', which is exactly what you've just repeated, yet apparently it was so dangerous and roughed him up so much that his main complaint is that his head got close :huh

The main fouling was committed by Khan, who seemed to think that anytime his opponent was at an uncomfortable range he could simply push him away, well I'm afraid not. A referee that allows that is allowing Khan to paper over the cracks. I don't care whether Jim down the road doesn't punish pushing as Khan's team seem to think is a reasonable defence on the matter, logic would tell you that pushing an opponent away to reset rather than fighting out is not to be encouraged.

 

The rematch hasn't been agreed because a) these silly appeals and b) Peterson has potentially more lucrative options.

Khan did stick to the game plan. Flurry and move. That's what his gameplan always is. Peterson just adjusted.

Roughing Khan up? He wasn't making contact, no more than you would expect in a fight anyway. What he was doing was inside the rules of the sport. I don't have a hatred for Khan. Drop the assumption.

Why did 80% of British fans say that Peterson won in the Sky poll then? Is it just you and the other 20% that are neutral? :nut

 

Khan is hated amongst the British community. There was a similar poll in America that had the majority saying Khan won. Two high profile refs came out and said they would have taken nothing off Khan but points off Peterson this ref did not have the experience to take this fight in my opinion. I agree that coming in with the head is part o fighting but you cant agree that 1 sort of fouling is ok but another isnt. It boxing not heading. Without the deductions who wins on the scorecards????

 

What sort of fouling? There was no fouling, a head coming close to somebody elses doesn't = fouling. Indeed, the occasional clash of head doesn't equal fouling unless its very obviously intentional, there was nothing out of the ordinary as far as clashing of heads. Nothing that doesn't happen in pretty much any boxing match. The problem is Khan and people associated with him need to find excuses for the loss and that seems to be a very convenient one despite it not being backed up by reality.

Pushing = actual contact. Theres the difference. Intentional, very obvious contact. It wasn't even cleverley done, as soon as Peterson was in close and effectice, Khan shat himself and pushed him off very clearly.

 

atsch

Jesus christ you need to give your head a wobble.

Peterson was the physically stronger man in there and dictated the pace for the majority of the fight, Khan caught him maybe three times with shots that shook him stopped him in his tracks, other than that Khan didn't know what to do he was clueless Peterson walker through him all night.

 

Without the stoppage, who won Leonard-Hearns I?

 

The only arguement Khan has got is the ref should of given him a final warning and warned anymore and it's a point other than that he needs to stop being a *****.

 

kon knew he lost the fight

changed his tune

 

The point is not what I believe because everyone has different opinions. Its the facts of a changed scorecard which would have made the fight a draw? Questionable Ref? Go watch the fight how many times was Peterson warned about the head? its a foul if your warned is it not?
