Khan puts his money where his mouth is....

by coxy0001 Tue Dec 20, 2011 4:41 pm

First topic message reminder :

Why couldn't he just stuff it all in his mouth quite literally? Khan has decided to formerly appeal, oh dear.

"Stop pushing him away Khan" - Everyone heard him getting warned, is just the desperate act of a sore loser.

Horse manure. No robbery in my eyes. It was a close fight. Some of the rounds could have gone either way but the close rounds went to Peterson. Subjective scoring as it is in all boxing. Had it gone to Khan, Peterson would have been p'd off also. Such a close fight deserves a rematch whoever won it.

And mr gro, not every close fight that goes against the brit is a robbery. Murray/Sturm was a robbery in my eyes as Sturm won it clearly.

The issue for me was the idiotic ref.

It was too hard to say who that fight imo it was over after a round so there was no way to know who would have won but Hopkins appealed and won and got his belt back this is what Khan is trying to do.

cant stand khan myself, so you are a bit quick on your assumptions there. i like peterson, if he can earn more from bradley or anyone else he should go for it. but obviously with the hype surrounding his first match against khan i think he should be able to make a lot off a rematch

Neither. belts should be won and lost in the ring. The ref called it a KO and it should have remained so.

Should Solis/Vit fight be changed to a no contest?

Bottom line......money. Who pays more. Bradley cant draw flies and GBP have offered Peterson a 7 figure sum. If I were managing Peterson I'd take it as he'll beat Amir in a rematch.

agree with you on this. i fancy peterson to take a rematch. he always starts nervously, but id expect his confidence to have improved after such a win. and yes vitali solis should have been no contest, but unfortunately vitali was able to say his punch to the top of the head did damage. the dawson hopkins fight should be obvious to anyone.

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:10 pm

Hopkins more than deserved his belt back, the fight was ended because of a clear and blatent foul.

by azania Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:15 pm

Jumping on your opponent's back is a foul. Hop should have been DQ'd then. After all he committed the foul. Chad just shrugged him off. The way Hop described you would have thought Chad threw him onto a piggy back and slammed him wwf style onto the mat.

Hop is a cheat as far as I can see. Tried to cheat JC and pascal with his constant whining and moaning like a little girl when hit.

Regardless of which, it was not a punch which ended the fight so therefore should have been ruled either a DQ for Dawson or rightfully as it was changed to a no contest.

by azania Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:41 pm

So Hop did an illegal move, got shoved off because of that illegal move and he retains the crown and now refusing to give dawson a rematch. The guy is a jerk of the worst kind.

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:44 pm

If my memory serves me right it was Dawson ducking below the belt line which initiated the action and counter action but don't let your personal feelings for someone get in the way, did you not accuse others of doing that yesterday?

by azania Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:53 pm

My opinion of Hop is not clouding my judgement of affecting my point. Chad ducked low. Hop literally jumped on his back. His feet were in the air and he straddled hi. Perhaps he thought he was still in prison.

Chad removed him from his back where he shouldn't have been. Then Hop visited the same type of doc that Dirrell saw.

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:56 pm

So you're trying to suggest now that Hopkins didn't in fact injure his shoulder at all?

by JabMachine Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:09 pm

I don't like Bhop - he's becoming bad for the sport. If someone jumps on your back in the same manner that he did to Dawson, I'd react the same, I wouldn't wait patiently for him to slide off, I'd get that guy off me. Its a boxing match, not a wrestling match. I'd make him regret doing it in the first place.

That said, I think it should have been a no contest and an immediate rematch ordered.

by Waingro Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:11 pm

Hopkins is too old now it is bad for the sport he should retire look at guys like Holyfield and Jones they are still fighting when they should retire.

by Lance Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:12 pm

I do. Hopkins is a very dirty fighter and is one of the most fighters he is too old he should have retired when Calzaghe schooled him he was a disgrace in that fight trying to cheat and say he got hit low he was also grabbing and holding alot he has to do this now because he is too old he cant fight he has to cheat to win. Refs are too afraid to take points off him aswell so he does not get punished.

by JabMachine Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:20 pm

Snooker isn't an age related sport, in that its not exactly physical, same as music.

What is being said here is that Holyfield and RJJ were amazing in their prime, and great for the sport, but now they're detracting from their previous endeavours.

Although the way that Waingro just responded, I think he's a WUM

true, they are definately detracting from their previous endeavours, and most would agree they should retire. however there are thousands of boxing matches a year, and to say they are ruining the sport is ridiculous. its their career and life, to do as they choose

by Waingro Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:25 pm

Yes Pavlik was a good win but Pavlik was overrated lookat Jones he beat Trinidad but that was because he is washed up. Hopkins is 46 now he istoo old so he has to cheat to win look at him when he was younger he did not have to do this. He is also a boring fighter people dont want to watch him fight he should retire before he gets knocked out like Jones he will end up getting badly hurt if he continues.

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:26 pm

So you say he has to cheat to win but overlook that he beat Pavlik and Pascal fairly and squarely?

i bet my house that hopkins doesnt get knocked out or badly hurt before he retires. and plenty of people still want to watch him, hes still earning a great living. i seem to remember calzaghe and pascal using dirty tricks against him too, but that doesnt get mentioned

by JabMachine Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:30 pm

Perhaps ruining the sport is a harsh look at it, but certainly ruining their own legacy. Bhop is just.....well....I box, and I just hate watching him. He does what he does and thats fine, but I just don't like seeing spoiling. Its not cheating, its just a really slimy way of operating as a boxer. I don't like holding at the best of times, and the head can be suspect - I just wish he'd box more and spoil less.

You are right about that but he cant box more because he is so old his stamina is gone so he has to hold and cheat to survive if he didnt do this he would get knocked out like Jones.

It is bad for a 46 year old guy to be champ in boxing it makes the sport look bad imo people dont want to see an old man as champ. Hopkins was quality but now he is too old imo and he should retire before he gets badly hurt look at Holyfield and Jones who wont retire they are doing themselves damage Hopkins should take that as a warning.

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:54 pm

Hopkins is still at the top of the division so his age doesn't really matter, might look bad on the younger fighters but it's down to them to beat him.

by Lance Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:54 pm

hopkins winning the title at 46 brought good publicity to boxing where i was. also did he hold and cheat to survive against pavlik and pascal? pascals only other loss is to froch and pavlik is actually underrated by many. he fought bravely against martinez who is the only other guy to have beaten him.

Money and another thing you're forgetting 'bargaining power' when Oscar fought both Floyd and Pacman why did he gain the higher share? What I dont understand is why are GBP offering a 7 figure sum if they're adamant the appeal or whatever you wanna call will be successful? surely they're just hyping up a 'potential' rematch! Bradley may not be able to attract 10 fans in his living room but now that Top Rank have Bradley I feel uncle Bob will relish a Peterson match up which is also a rematch as Bradley was victorious before. As each day goes by Khan and his silly rants are making him look more and more desperate.
