Amir Khan raises fresh doubts over Lamont Peterson win | Mail Online

Cheers tshirtman...an interesting read and watch.

He may have a point but it is only taking away from the real reason he lost the fight....he was lazy. Yes there may be something in what he says, Yes the fight was close and could have went his way BUT if he had only tried a bit more in a few more rounds...we wouldn't be discussing it cos he would have won.

Dont mess with the mafia amir son best to lose the fight that ur legs lmao

[sgerrard]

what you think about it??

i think it does look very dodgy

if the rules are exactly what khan says they are then the rules have been broken UNLESS he works for the WBA or IBF in which case surely he can handle the slips aswell?

seems dodgy that this walsh guy has disapeared though?! if he is missing then you have to say something is up

didnt they lose one judges score card aswell at the end? which caused the delay.....

i agree with jaffa, khan wasnt good enough and his performance was poor after the first 2 rounds.

but boxing has been fixed for years and this does look suspect

[tshirtman]

what you think about it??

Don't know m8, but something don't look right,
but like jaffa said if he'd put more work in, and not turned it in to a pushing match, we wouldn't be discussing it now.
I just hope the IBF and WBA orders a rematch, otherwise it just going to go on and on,
there also questioning judge George hill's score card, they want to know why he changed the score on round 7.

[sgerrard]

yea i saw this on the news aswell

looks like an 8 has been changed to a 10 on peterson side

[skegsagypsy]

If Khan had boxed as he should have there would be no dispute, regardless of any perceived interference from external sources (Which I don't believe exist) at the end of the day, Khan underestimated Peterson and the fight could have gone either way, the fact Khan was deducted points (rightly so in my eyes) favoured Peterson in a close decision, he lost and is whining and looking excuses a great boxer but the guy has no class !

Khan also claims the guy in the hat was sitting in front of his father at ringside, surely then his father would have noticed something suspicious if he was in such close proximity to this guy and the ringside judge, could it be the guy was one of Khans crew ?

Regarding the card change in round 7.

The problem is the 10 point MUST system, one of the fighters must get 10 points

It does look like he was initially giving Khan 10 and although its hard to see, it looks like he was initially giving Peterson 8.
Why he deducted 2 points from Khan is the only strange part for me.

Instead of Khan losing 1 point, because of the rules he actually lost 4 points. This is why many people want the rules changed so the points get deducted after the initial score for that round.

Without the deduction in round 7, the scores would have been, Khan 68 Pterson 63 but because of deduction they were Khan 66, Peterson 65.

It is the rules and not a conspiracy, maybe the mystery man was just pointing out to the judge he forgot to score a must 10 for one of the fighters.

Well film crew have turned up at Khans gym bout half hour ago and Khan turned up wit his manager 10 mins ago, no doubt he will be on tele later giving a statement.. As for Khans crew, they are all white mostly with bald heads.. unless it was his mum, younger sister or brother, then i doubt it very much, Steve Bunce was on news this morning, had no idea who it was and said the judges need to focus 100% on there job, not chat and only watch half the fight. There is to much corruption going on in sports these days and it needs stamping out, whether Khan lost the fight or not; this bloke should not of interfered with the judges or their score sheets..

if your son is fighting in a world title fight, your mind and eyes will be fixated on the fight.....sure you might notice people around you abit, but your still going to be concentrated on the fight

while i agree with you that khans crap performance made the fight closer than it should have been......which sews the seed of doubt over this whole claim....to say there are no "external forces" in boxing and in other sports is abit far fethced i think

boxing has been fixed for years as have almost every other sport in the world.....all by external forces

[skegsagypsy]

I never said there were no external forces in boxing! Of course there are the whole game is bent as ~~~~, I was refering to the guy in the hat that Khan has decided changed the course of the fight, the truth is Khan was his own worst enemy and lost the fight due to a crap performance, had he fought to his undoubted ability he may well have put the fight to bed and would npot have needed to worry about mystery men in hats !!

that i agree with. peopel said in the fight thread that khan was robbed but i thought he was crap after the 1st two rounds.

i also agree that he kept on pushing and the ref warned him many times, then said "next time im taking a point off" but still let khan get away with it twice more before deducting him.

but why has this walsh guy disapeared all of a sudden?

mafia hit?

will khan wake up with a pigs head at the bottom of his bed soon?

[yasminandrio]

clutching at straws Khan, He needs to get over it!! no way did he win the fight!! Maybe the first round but thats about all, Both points which were deducted were in my opinion justified, He didn't turn up and now its all a big conspiracy. Get over yourself Khan FFS You were s*it

[zee24]

It wern't as 1 sided as you think Yas, he should have had atleast 2 knock downs, it was a close fight. But hes got no1 to blame but himself, he should have stuck to the teams plans instead of looking for a fight when he does that he gets hit like he did against Maidana later on. If he had concentrated on Lamont pre-match instead of goin on about Mayweather, Bradley or Brook he would have won easily and will do if the re-match happens.

Nothing should be taken away from Lamont like i said it was a close fight which could have gone either way Lamont deserves the win, but i would like to see a re-match just to settle the score.
