    People also forget Petersons plan A did not work, it took him a few rounds to adjust.
    This time around he will use that gameplan from the start which will makeup for the deductions.

    If Khan keeps pushing him across the ring though the ref better start deducting again.

    They are working on doing a better job at keeping the distance..... Roach has Khan pushing heavyweight clear across the ring.

    Ill do a 1 month one if you are interested (we both seem to be of the long member low post count types)
    As long as its not something too disgusting or gay (goes both ways)

    It would probably be a Peterson avatar in your case.

    True I do think strength will be an issue every time khan clinched last time Peterson just walked him to the ropes with no issues. so if Khan were to clinch I could see Khan getting tired as the fight wore on. Maybe if Khan wipped in shots to the body early on try and sap some of Petersons energy early on? I think this is a bad style matchup for Khan

    Tbh people saying Khan has lost alot of fans it doesn't matter... people will tune in to watch his fights on HBO worldwide.. HBO is where the best fighters fight. He has over half a million fans on fb and over half a million fans on twitter. Not bad for a fighter who has no inside game.

    That being said if you look at all of Peterson's fights (excluding the Timid Timmy fight) at some point in the fight Lamont has adjusted and hence won the fight. Khan cannot adjust. He is not a complete fighter. Freddie will tell him not to lay on the ropes and fight in the middle; this is not fixing the apparent flaws Amir has.

    I expect Peterson to comfortably win as whatever Khan may do Peterson will have the answers to it. I remember Khan said that the fight with Andreas was his toughest an that he kept on coming forward and that if he had more power Andreas would be more dangerous; that's exactly what Peterson does. I think Lamont's power is underated and he's more of a safety first type of guy.

    If Peterson wins fairly I will wear the avy you choose with pride, i like Lamont a lot. In case of robberies...well let's just say if hatman makes an appearance all bets are null and void :deal

    Point being made is Khan has to make an adjustment, but Peterson can ONLY beat him by pressure, and got the win in the judges eyes.


    As I said if Khan's makes an adjustment and makes Peterson pressure ineffective then Peterson got no where to go, he can't box Khan from range.


    Khan just needs to keep a cool head and box smart, a good boxer should beat a brawler.


    Let's see who wants it more, this fight is going to be a banger, battle of wills.

    I think there is a lot more he kan do. He at sum points really abandoned his jab and jus walked straight in. he needs to use the jab to get inside. Slip khans sgraight shoys and jab to the bad to bring his hands down than bang big hook/right hand. I found myself at many times yelling at my tv for lamont to let his hands go when khan stops and rests. Khans defense is weak so the best way to nuetralize his offense is to let ur hands go. Khan is no thinking mans fighter. Especially under smart pressure.

    So in a sense peterson wont use a different game plan but effectivly apply it earlie1

    Brawler?

    And you keep say Peterson can only win one way but what are the multiple ways that you seem to think Khan can win?

    Bradley on the Khan fight:

    "Peterson will beat Khan again man, I've been knowing Peterson for a long time man, and he'll give Khan more problems than the last time they fought. Peterson would fight a guy once, then fight them again and become this whole different animal man, so him knowing that Khan can't take pressure right from the opening bell, you should see Peterson take it right to Khan," Bradley said. "He is going to make it real uncomfortable for Khan, and I don't know how Khan will adjust. He couldn't take pressure in the Maidana fight and Peterson is really good at getting to your body. He's crafty. I was doing like 2000 sit-ups a day getting ready for his body attack and man his attack is lethal," he added.

    "Plus Peterson is really good at closing the gap and he will beat him even worst this time around because he knows what to expect from Khan now. Honestly I think Khan is a 4 round fighter, I mean he's a good fighter he willing to fight anyone any place anytime, the true mark of a champion, it's just that in 4 rounds he comes out blazing then he just gasses out man. I think if Khan was to pace himself a little better and control his energy, he could control his mind or whatever you call it but he's just to hyped up. If he learns to control that he will be great."
