Peterson Slams Khan

I think Khan's team come across as childish and out of their depth. They had an agreement for a rematch and that should have been signed already. All this bickering between the two sides is unfair and honestly, it detracts from what was a hard earned, good win.

Real champions don't cry about losses, they try to put them right. The impression I get, is that they'd be far happier to get the decision overturned after some bull**** appeal, than fight Peterson for a second time.

 

It was close .If it was England Khan would probably have won .
This looks like a good article



RossBoxing Lets go to the scorecards

I believe that the institution of modified electronic scoring in boxing would be a huge step in the right direction. The current ten-point must system is an outdated and overly subjective method of scoring and must be significantly overhauled for the sake of the sport. The fighters deserve the fairest decisions possible under all circumstances, to do any less than that is to disrespect their hard work and dedication to the this great sport.

 

Khan has indeed been a twat since the loss, but the above is wrong.

They did not have an agreement in place for a rematch. Peterson immediately had his attention turned elsewhere (Pacquiao and Bradley), which has consequently led to Team Khan desperately trying to appeal for a rematch.

Khan and Schaefer have also repeatedly said that this rematch will still be honoured, whether the decision is overturned or not. That's the single, most important thing - the rematch. That's what all of complaining and crying is about. To make sure Peterson does not go anywhere else.

 

Im pretty sure Schaefer TK et all are looking for the loss to be turned into a NC.

Would love to see a rematch, but the way Khan, his team GBP and all have been whinging, and clutching at straws to get the loss overturned, blaming everyone in sight...suggests to me theyve learned nothing at all from this whole fiasco (other than if you keep crying someone will eventually listen, irrespective of the fact he lost a close fight because he was constantly cheating).

The more of this I see, the more I want Peterson to beat Khan definitively, well within the distance, in a rematch...or for Peterson to get and accept a mega fight with Pacman or Floyd...and tell khan and all the shower of crying ****s in his team, where to shove the rematch...the loser shouldnt be allowed to dictate what happens when they were beaten fairly in the ring...Khan had 12 full rounds to beat Peterson, and found himself lacking in a "keep busy" fight.

 

That's the trouble, all the stuff that Khan is moaning about doesn't change the fact that he lost. Had that been given to Khan on points it would have been just as controversial. So all this complaining just comes across as a smoke screen designed to draw attention away from his performance.

 

No, I think what rico is saying is correct.

Its the fact no re-match clause was made thats causing all the fuss, Khan team are pulling out all the stops to try and ensure the re-match happens not neccesarily change the outcome!

Khan and his team have clearly made mistakes when making this fight, they thought Khan would comfortably win whhch was exteremely arrogant, its backfired.

Its debatable who won the fight could have gone either way, IMO without the points deductions, Khan wins! were the points deductions fair is another debate.

Yes, there was another guy intervening with one of the WBA guys and seems very dodgy.

I feel a bit for Khan but he's young, his team should have known better but should just move on and learn from a school boy error!!

 

feel for khan?

he is moaning about losing to a fighter in the fighters own country in which was a very tough fight to score

if theres anyone who deserves sympathy its lamont. He put in the performance of his life time to shock the world and become a world champion and yet the only thing everyone is talking about post fight is some guy who was sat next to one of the judges

a fight this close should never have to make its way into the courtrooms

 

Peterson is spot on and he and his camp were right to remain silent whilst can went off on a childish rant about some guy in a hat.

Everything they say in that statement is spot on. Khan needs to stop blaming others and look at his own performance in the ring.

Yes it was close fight and either probably could of won. It was given to Peterson, which in my mind is fair enough. No robbery, not even close to a robbery. Khan should get over it, improve his game and look for the rematch.

 

Well, guess we will have to agree to disagree. Khan ackowledged pretty early on after the fight that his team had not put the rematch clause in place and that he did not know why that did not happen, so he might be trying to force one through all this but the way he is going about that is to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the result. I was a big Khan fan going in, but I thought on the night he lost by a clear couple of rounds - he just spent far too long standing and getting hit, imho, and wilfully did not listen to the referee, I though his limited ring IQ and growing arrogance conspired to undo him that night - and all I meant by my original post is that by focussing attention on the referee and the man in the hat he is not addressing the key point that he should have done far, far better in the ring if he is even 75% of the fighter that he claimed to be beforehand.

I think that the big loser recently is Freddy Roach's reputation - I had Pacquiao losing clearly to Marquez and Khan losing clearly to Peterson, both of them having failed to adjust mid-fight when things were not going their way.

So anyway, I agree that Khan now wants the rematch, all I meant was that the man in the hat etc. is not the reason he finds himself needing it - Khan just spent 12 rounds not doing what he needed to do, imho.

Surprised you feel sorry for him. I felt sorry for him in the immediate aftermath, but the conspiracy theory nonsense he has come out with since reminds me of my (pre-school) kids more that it does a champion fighter. Embarrassing for him. Boxers only get a short career, and he is in imminent danger of being remembered more for whining and excuse-seeking than he is for fighting well, unfortunately.

 

Spot on - wish I could write shorter sentences lol!

 

Yes, he lost his world titles in a very close fight! Agree Lamont fought a great fight.

If there's a guy ringside (who shouldnt be there) discussing the fight with a WBA official that wrong and should be investigated.

Boxing is corrupt we al lknow that and things like this do not help the sport!

 

Team Khan have every right to ask questions about the Hatman but could have handled the situation in a more professional manner

 

Now there's an understatement, and not the first or last time that that will be said about 'Team Khan'
