Who wins the rematch Khan vs Peterson II???..

He's always been relatively decent when it comes to stalking a guy, but generally when he was doing that the fights weren't exactly as high-octane as the Khan encounter. Against Cayo(probably his best performance in fact) he did well when advancing slowly behind a tight guard and letting looping hooks go off the jab, but Cayo's not what you would call a ''top'' level fighter, and his movement was easy to read as well as slowly considerably by the round. Guys like that are probably his ideal style to face.

But when he was faced with somebody who moves as fast as Khan does he looked a bit clueless, fortunately for him Khan was even more clueless at stopping Peterson from bull-rushing him. Lamont didn't really position himself very well, nor did he close down space effectively, he chased with winging shots and allowed Khan to trap himself on the inside and get bullied while in there.

A rematch comes down to whoever's learned to a greater degree imo.

 

Yeah your right i hope Lamont has and tbh if he has Khan's got to learn a greater skill which is developing a inside game. Cutting ring off can be worked on a inside game sometimes some fighters just don't have ability/confidence to fight there. A lot of black american fighters i've noticed don't rate Khan at all calling him a amateur fighter and that's why.

 

Khan would do well to watch a few of Hatton's fights, looking solely at his footwork and copying it in the gym.

At anything like his peak Hatton had the footspeed to easily out-manoevre someone like Lamont, and would be able to shut him down with the jab alone whilst working the body.

Obviously that would go out of the window and he'd just meet him in the middle, but anyway....

 

Good point BB about footwork and it's that and his inside game that are costing him along with his mentality. He is a stupid little boy underneath it all, the silly arms in air thing when hit is downright embarrassing. Peterson has to get to him early and knock him out of stride.

 

Khan.

 

Its easier said then done, khans had around 10 camps with roach, i highly doubt within that time period freddie didn't notice that khan lacked an inside game and didn't try his best to teach khan to to fight in the pocket.
you think freddie's going to iron out the flaws in 1 camp which he was incapable of doing in 10 previous camps. the best they can do for khan is improving his footwork and teaching him how to box off the backfoot, learning how to infight is a whole different ball game and it will take more then just 1 camp.

 

Wham, I think you are forgetting Khan used to have NO inside game. He just didn't have the inside game to deal with Peterson.

I knew Peterson could go forward but I think we are all suprised with how quickly he was willing to go forward, even if there were punches and even though he was kncoked down. Alot of mental power.

 

Khan should take a look at Masood and Yusef from EastEnders some superb inside work from both men.

 

It's interesting, I think Victor Ortiz and Lamont Peterson would face pretty similar challenges in the rematch. The intensity they had the first time. Not always easy to bottle that and take it to the ring every time.

 

seriously depends.. will khan learn enough of a lesson to stop peterson beating him up on the inside? will peterson now have the supreme confidence to do an even better job on khan on the inside?

 

khan has to do a much better job of letting get to the inside.

 

Khan gets the nod in another close fight if it's a neutral .In England he wins a landslide

 

Lamont easier this time. He knows he can do it now

 

I'd love if Lamont managed it, but Khan was generally getting the upper-hand throughout the fight. He really needs to take away one element of Peterson's game to get the win, while Peterson needs to add more layers to his game to stay successful.
