Re: Breaking news: Golden Boy cancel Khan IBF appeal
Peterson won fair and square IMO and the original decision should hold. Khan was pushing a lot and the referee was right to dock the points after repeated warnings were given.
Khan, rather than look at his own shortcomings is blaming everyone else. He's proved to be a very poor sportsman. The more he talks the more foolish he looks.
In contrast, Peterson has behaved admirably throughout this whole fiasco and has probably gained a lot of new fans as a result. I'm certainly one of them!

Okay so if the hatman needed to correct dodgy scoring from an WBA supervisor why do the WBA feel that as enough reason to demand the rematch? Yet as this guy is sort of an "official" with the IBF they decide not to. There must be enough of a smell here if the WBA are insisting on the rematch.
Besides, Petersen won't rematch Khan now I don't think and will carry on with the IBF.

How do you know he is not working on improving his inside game? Do you believe any boxer who has aspirations of being world class will ever say that they are crap fighting on the inside? Or even admit to making mistakes during the fight?
Fir crissakes, you guys want Khan to say and do things no other boxer in hostory would ever say,
In-effing-credible.

I personally believe the WBA are looking out for their interests and point scoring against the IBF. Dont be fooled into thinking that they are on some sort of moral crusade with this case.

1. Khan and GBP should not be appealing the decision in any shape of form, there was no robbery.
2. I think there should be a rematch for two reasons, the closeness of the fight and the deductions being such a significant factor.
3. The deductions despite being to the letter of the rulebook were harsh and personally don't think they should have happened.
4. It is about time we had some consistency in refereeing, all well and good saying 'play the referee' but there can be such a difference in the way fights are officiated it's a tad silly.
5. Khan wins a rematch fairly comfortably.
Agreed totally except for point 5. LP to win comfortably.

Peterson just isn't that good, he had his one off performance but wont be replicating it again any time soon.

Thing is, I dont think Khan is that good either. He has the potential to be very good, but so far he hasn't developed in the way he should have. I've said for over a year that he should leave Roach and go elsewhere to learn how to keep guys off him. Not to learn how to fight on the inside because not every fighter can be the complete package, but to utilise his range far better.

Peterson fought as well as he possibly could against a sub par Khan and scraped to victory, narrow that down at all and you're left with Khans speed being far too much.

I dont know if its a sub par Khan we saw. Maidana gave him all sorts and LP did the same. He has a problem with aggressive fighters and always will unless he develops a jab that can deter opponents.

Rounds 1 and 2 Peterson was still trying to fight on the inside - those fights gave Khan a +3 margin. The rest of the fight was majority Peterson.
There's enough evidence to say that if Peterson applies the pressure again - Khan could crack again. There's also enough to say that Khan dropped a ball and will pick things up next time around - but I don't think its a dead certainty, by any means.

Alas, Az, I've thought this since I saw the fight again over Christmas. 'Fraid I can't give you much credit. Was impressed by Peterson's switch-up halfway through.
