Khan has just confirmed this on his facebook page This content is protected https://www.facebook.com/#!/AmirKhanTheOfficialPage
That was quick. I like watching Khan fight, but oh how I would ****ing laugh if he loses the rematch too.
Amir Khan is a liar. This is the same guy that also confirmed that Mayweather agreed to fight him. He also said that Manny lost to Marquez and should retire, and then said the exact opposite a day or two later. I can't see how a deal would be done so fast.
I mean, I hope he doesn't think he can keep fouling like he was just cause there will be a different ref. March is a quick turnaround. Not sure if it's enough time for him to fix everything he needs to before he's pressured relentlessly again.
Good to hear, credit to Peterson for letting it happen without making stupid demands like some of the idiots on here wanted. In the end it was a good fight regardless of the outcome and I wouldn't mind seeing it again, hopefully Khan brings something new to the ring this time round.
I doubt its confirmed. They have set a date but Lamonts side I doubt has accepted it http://www.boxingnews24.com/2011/12...or-331-petersons-trainer-says-thats-not-true/ i know its boxingnews24 and that ****** will mackay but that statement seems sound
GBP Probably reassured khan that they will make Peterson an offer he can't refuse. So unless Peterson is fighting mayweather, pacquiao or klitschko next then Peterson is clearly taking a fight for less money.
Yeah, if this rematch really is on for March, Roach better get working with him soon. Lots to be done. But the way Khan's been talking.. "Neutral venue, Neutral referee", makes it sound like he thinks that he can get away with spoiling the way he did anywhere other than D.C. To an extent he might be right, but he'd still have been deducted at least 1 point anywhere else. That **** won't cut it next time out either.
Wait, wait.. Khan just decided to announce that his rematch was going ahead in March, in Vegas, without even running it by Lamont Peterson and his team? atsch What a piece of ****. Who does he think he is?
Not confirmed. In fact, knowing Peterson and his knack for playing hardball at the negotiating table, I doubt this comes off. We'll see.
Full respect if your on the money and thanks for getting it out there but it wouldn't be the first time Amir has shot his mouth off without thinking it through.I wouldn't blame Peterson for getting an earning defence in first,not like he's had an easy ride in life. Fair play if you're right though.
