    Just listening to the Bunce william hill podcast.

    Steve said that "Khan will beat Petersen so easily it won't even be funny", and "trust me, this will be a romp in the park"

    The presenter asked him why he said that and steve thinks they underestimated Petersen, were looking past him and it will be a different Khan in the rematch.

    Do you agree?

    I think Khan will win but i don't think he has the ability to make it "a romp in the park"

    I got Khan close UD by 116-112 116-112 115-113 type decision.

    Read Bradley's interview on the Ring - interesting how he said he improved in rematches as an amateur. He goes on to say that Peterson will win more easily this time. Interesting article.

    Bradley has more than a vested interest though, he beat Petersen while shamefully ducking Khan and would love nothing more than to be "vindicated" in his ducking by Petersen winning more clearly

    I can't take anything he says seriously

    I think its fair to say he's already been vindicated. He is absolute, clear number one in the division. Wins over the Peterson (now with 2 belts), Witter (champ), Alexander (champ), and Holt (champ). Its irrefutable. He's also making more money now than he would of against Khan.

    He's beaten everyone of note except Khan. Tbh Khan is on Alexander's level now. Its a fight I'd still like to see though, and I certainly wouldn't rule Amir out.

    Have to disagree there, a duck is a duck, the fact that Khan then went on to lose to a lesser fighter doesnt change the fact that Bradley ducked him, if anything it makes Bradley more of a chump because he ducked a loser.

    The 'duck' is fully justified now - he's got his shot at Pacquaio and is making a shitload more.

    Why would he duck Khan but fight Alexander et al?

    Because he thought he might lose.

    He could have fought Khan instead of Cassamayour, unified the divsion and become lineal champ, won the ring strap and then demanded and justified more % VS pacquaio

    instead he thought "hmm this amir fight is a bit risky, ill play it safe"

    It may be smart, but it's not exactly brave

    I don't like Khan too much and I laughed my ass off when Lamont beat him, but I tend to agree with Steve here.
    There's a reason why Peterson had to be forced into a rematch, and now he's like "If they want to see a rematch then I'm ok with that!", knowing he doesn't like it one bit.

    I can see a 117-111/118-110 kinda decision here.

    Khan will knock Peterson out in the rematch!!! He will train like a madman, really wants to knock Peterson out, not just a decision!!! He will outclass Peterson, boxing him, not let up for a second!!!

    It will be another close fight. Khan better be able to adapt to pressure, because Peterson is going to put more of it this time round!! Doubt he will, though.

    I think Khan will beat him comfortably this time round.

    If Khan makes the necessary adjustments he ought to be capable of beating Lamont relatively easily.

    I'm not sure they have though, preferring to whine about the referee and judges. Unless it's a smokescreen :hey

    even with the 2 point deduction Khan still won IMO, without the biased ref and hatman, i see khan 7 - 8 rounds ahead in the rematch

    I don't think it is. He ducked a fighter he probably would have beaten but didn't want to risk a pay day against Pac. And Alexander was poor at 140, recieving
    two iffy decisions, in particular that robbery against Kotelnik.
