Amir Khan Lamont Peterson result

http://www.facebook.com/NSOTD
Amir Khan went down to a shock points defeat by Lamont Peterson to lose his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles in a pulsating fight in Washington DC.

Two points deducted from Khan for pushing proved crucial as the judges scored the fight at 113-112, 113-112, 111-114 in favour of the local fighter.

The Briton knocked Peterson down in the first round, but the American launched huge attacks in the third and seventh.

Khan recovered, but the second lost point in the final round was decisive.

"It was like I was against two people in there - the referee and Lamont himself," complained Khan immediately after the decision.

"Every time he was coming into me he kept putting his head low. I was the cleaner fighter - he was so wild in there.

If this happened in the uk against an American fighter you would all be fucking mental on here!

How would anyone else here feel after such a close fight, in the other guys home crowd and having 2 points taken off you for pushing u lose the split descision and then find the guy who had been poking his nose in with the score cards is celebrating with petersons corner at the end!!..

@sw1000xg khans conditioning makes his next to frail body buckle & the uk glass jaw phenom runs away in the later rounds whereas actual boxers with footwork/movement use skill to contain an aggressive opponent who moves forward. quit riding his ballsack the ref made a bad call but who cares he's an unworthy over rated arrogant punk bitch who thinks he's tough

[max29july]

@IMRANx21 he is finished now as he lost against someone who is even not the best
