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

He beats Kahn again

 

at some of posts in this thread.

 

How dare the ref expect them to fight it out and expose Khan's weakness atsch

Good post Darni

 

:nono everytime peterson gets close,the ref should break them,deduct a point of him for trying to hit his body,and hold his arms behind his back so khan can hit him at range:thumbsup
yes,i think this is fair and should work in khans favour:bart

 

It was actually nice to see a referee let the fighters fight for a change, instead of rugby tackling the away fighter away from the prized golden bollocks who likes easy fights.

Khan would have been ****ed in the 1980's with the likes of Padilla reffing.

 

Thats all well and good but at certain times he's still going to be tested where he's obviously flawed. No point papering over cracks with hand picked refs. Everybody has seen how poor he is up close now, people will be coming for him.

 

I think Khan takes rematch very comfortably.

Khan did not put on his best performance, he was too engaged in bravado, I dont think he will make that mistake again.

After re-watching the fight Khan made very few mistakes in the first 4 rounds. After the 7th round it all went downhill and I can understand why Khan was complaining about Peterson's head.

Well I guess that's all in the past now and in the rematch I think Khan will really put on a show and win dominantly. I don't see him stopping Peterson but in my honest opinion Peterson got very lucky in the first fight. He probably deserved it as he showed great heart and constant pressure. Peterson also took quite a few good shots and he was willing to do that to get on the inside.

I think Khan 116-112 in rematch.

 

I think 'staying off the ropes' is oversimplifying it. I know Roach says that as well but I think deep down he knows the issues are a little more complex. There are probably reasons he's on the ropes too often. For example Khan's movement is very erratic, sometimes he'll use far too much energy and footwork to achieve a goal that would be possible with economic movement. It's little wonder he finds himself on the ropes when he's moving so far away from his opponent. This is also my theory for why he tires dramatically.

He's also not very relaxed in the ring. He uses a lot of nervous energy in these movements, which might explain why he does it in the first place. He's very tight. So therefore he gets tired, and when you get tired, your opponent is physically stronger, so where else can you go but backwards? Towards the ropes.

He's also on Pac's balls too much. Copying Pacquiao's routines. Covering up, the stupid gloves in the air thing. The sitting on the ropes thing might work for Pacquiao, but I get the sense Pac only does it to test his opponents power. Khan seems to think its a legitimate and useful tactic. It's not.

 

Exactly. If he's so ****ing talented himself then why does he feel a need to copy pacquiao. He tries to fight like pacquiao and copy his moves. But he does t have the toughness, chin, power or toughness or anything else that pacquiao has.
