Unless Khan learns to fight on the inside, It'll be another tough night

    I think all the controversy aside, the main thing i took away from the fight was that Khan really really struggled with Petersen's pressure. He showed pretty much no inside game, resulting in him having to push off the entire fight.

    Now at Vegas, Petrsen will know exactly what to do to rough up Khan. And no matter what happens, Khan will have to work inside and deal with Lamonts pressure.

    I really hope that despite all his arrogance and his poor behaviour since the fight, deep down he knows he needs to work on his game. Because if he doesn't, i can honestly see another Petersen victory

    I don't think he can learn so much in such a short space of time. I expect he'll get a favourable referee and he'll probably hold a lot.

    Whether thats enough or not, I don't know. Peterson may be too much for Khan.

    And if CACA-Roach keeps training him, he will never learn to fight on the inside.

    In other words, Con has been exposed, and is ****ed.


    Peterson by a much more convincing UD.

    Every interview you hear of Petersen, you just think to yourself ''**** this is one classy dude''.

    Really disappointed in Khan.

    Petersen is SPOT ON.
    I understand all the whining and complaining because its what he had to do to get this rematch. Well its signed and sealed now. you have your rematch. STFU now and be respectful

    Peterson will be bringing his Plan B as an improved Plan A this time around.

    Khan best listen to Roach.

    As long as the ref allows Khan to push back or lean on Peterson when he gets close he has a big chance to win a decision

    The other problem for Peterson is that in spite of the advantage he has in close quarters, he lacks the power to truly hurt Khan - so I don't think he will get the KO win

    The way I see it is very simple: Khan wins a UD in Vegas as his flurries will impress the judges (he is the "busier fighter", he "out-lands, outworks" Peterson) and he'll be allowed to push back Peterson at will as soon as he gets close

    if khan wins, would you show khan respect or would you make an excuse like most khan haters.


    khan needs to shut the **** up now, he's got the rematch - someone from his team needs to tell him he looks like a dick whilst LP comes across as a classy respectful person

    I picked Peterson to beat him the first time and this rematch Peterson is going to knock his ass out. Khan spent all this time bitching and moaning instead of jumping his ass right back in the gym after his loss to work on his inside game and his footwork. Roach can't teach him that **** though and Khan will basically just try and out speed Peterson and move around the ring after flurries just like last time.

    He won't just suddenly learn how to fight on the inside -- especially as he seems to be blaming everyone but himself for his loss. The only realistic option for him is to learn how to neutralise Peterson's body attack by clinching and tying his arms up properly to force a referee break. Basically the same thing Wlad does to his opponents. Easier said than done, of course -- Peterson has a big frame, and he looks just as strong as Khan. Khan doesn't have the same physical advantages that Wlad has, but the only way I see him dealing with infighting is to use the same sort of strategy. Maybe he should look at footage of Hopkins, too.

    Yup it's going to be ANOTHER really tough fight.....I dont expect either to knock the other out so it will be tight.

    Both men have got stuff to learn, Peterson better believe that the judges are going to want to give it Khan. So he better cut the ring off like his life depended on it and pressure the hell out of Khan.

    And Khan best believe Peterson is gonna beat that ass on the inside. and he should LEARN HOW TO BLOCK DAMN UPPER CUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Of the two men Peterson seems the more humble and willing to learn Khan believes he is owed something so I think Khan will lose AGAIN.....despite everything being stacked against him.

    Even though the KO of Glass Judah was from a clinch/on the inside, I'd pretty much conclude that Khan has NO INSIDE GAME, and Peterson needs to take advantage of that fact.

    I have 2 out comes for this fight

    First, Petersen got stronger as the fight went on and gained confidence along the way. This time he takes the confidence into the fight and gets going earlier and wins more comfortable

    Or Khan fights all 3 minutes of every round and never lets Petersen inside, the fight followed a trend Khan would come out and dominate the first minute in most rounds then take a break and Petersen would get inside

    if Khan ups his game this time around he wins

    if Khan doesnt and Petersen gets inside earlier he wins
