lol...given him a 10-8 round on the third...thats just crazy...that should have been no more than a draw...they stole the fight in the manner that point deductions do sway judges...It wasn't a fair shake

@ELbigstah I didn't give him a 10-8 round, I scored it 10-9 but I was just emphasizing on the beating Peterson dished out. The point deductions were stupid I agree. I would be very upset if the point deductions changed the outcome but in my view the point deductions didn't effect the outcome as even had Khan had those 2 points he still loses the decision...

@carlosg815 i dont know what fight u were watching, i had it 114-111 khan. but i could see 113-112 khan (the 11th for me was a toss)... most boxing sites scored it either 113-112 khan, ive seen a few 113-112 petersons but nothing as high as u had... i gave khan 1,2,5,6,9,10,11,12... 12 with pt deduction made it 9-9 and like i said 11 really was a toss up

[carlosg815]

@projectpaki I don't see how you could possibly give Khan 8 rounds but everybody scores different. What I posted here is just my personal thoughts.

What I'm starting to realize is Lampley would give credit to a fighter like Pac or Khan for a shot that didn't land. It used to skew my judging because I figure since Lampley is such a "pro" and I'm not, he's always right. But now I see through the bullshit. Also, do you think an immediate rematch is right? I'd like to see Khan rematch Maidana before he fights Peterson again.

[carlosg815]

@blindthief I definitely want to see Khan/Peterson 2 immediately for the belts.

[projectpaki]

@Veechie4short I still had Khan up even with the point deductions, I was actually at dc for the fight and live I scored it 113-112 khan but knowing it was close i wasnt surprised they gave the decision to Peterson. The next day on HBO replay I scored it 114-111 Khan and yea he was pushing and pushing constantly but the ref shld have took the second point in the 11th rnd rather than the 12th of a championship fight. Still, I thot Khan should have won it, not mad at the decision tho

[Veechie4short]

@projectpaki throwing more punches does not equal victory. it's not a punch throwing competiton or a race. khna threw like 200 more punches but only 14 more punches than peterson. so khan threw pointless shots that weren't landing so you reward him for that? secondly he pushed of over 60 times in a 12 rd fight... 5 pushes/round. mayweather lost points for pushing against castillo in their first fight. it was a legit deduction(s). khan lost

[Veechie4short]

@carlosg815 point deductions were justifiable. people often forget that pushing is ILLEGAL in boxing, even though it's a lesser offense (misdemeanor). another thing that people forget is that floyd mayweather was peanalized for pushing in the first castillo fight. there's a video on youtube that shows khan pushed off 54 times AFTER the first deduction. khan lost the fight.

@batosmak For the record I'm a Khan and Peterson fan. Who cares who lost that fight. When I had 20 people in my house watching that fight, BOXING won that night. Great action. I would have paid to watch that fight. Fuck BOXING stock. If everyone fought each other, it wouldn't matter who wins or loses.

[batosmak]

This was the worst commentating by HBO for a Championship fight. Once the ref warned Khan, why wouldn't Khan switch it up so he wouldn't be penalized. Khan thought he was in there with a cup cake. I think he underestimated Lamont but I would love to see a rematch. Khan has been exposed. NO INSIDE GAME!!!

[crungen5]

AMIR GOT FUCKING SCHOOLED MAN!! AND LAMPLEY ALWAYS PULLS THAT SHIT,THAT COMPUBOX SHIT...LAMPLEY DID THE SAME SHIT DURING THE MARQUEZ VS PACMAN 3 FIGHT!!

[buyneee]

What a lot of people dont understand is when a fight is close, doesn't make it a robberey... Also if there is a rematch peterson could stop khan if khan doesnt change it up. I subscribed too!

[judgesp]

This commentary is spot on. I would NOT have taken the points away from Khan. But, like, c'mon, even that knockdown of Peterson in the first was pretty questionable. I dont think it even was one. I give the fight to Peterson, who one it convincingly. DoggysStyle- spot on.

[DoggysStyle]

Plain and simple, Khan would have lost anyway because if he didnt push off to create space, Peterson was gone be in his ass more and would have stopped Khan.
