    Seemed about even to me. Khan had to fight a bent ref too, but in turn was doing naughty stuff with his elbows. Better boxing skill displayed by Khan perhaps, but more power from Peterson. I usually like to score it based on who would win if it carried on when it goes to points, but that's difficult to call here too. Neither looked greatly hurt or totally dominant aside from Khan being constantly backed-up since about round 2. Khan should have done more, but doesn't seem to have the power in those spaghetti arms of his.

      Would you repeat this to his face?

        Yep, I'd stoop that low.

          Well, Khan has a case and the WBA have ordered a rematch.

          Too many things were suspicious about that fight, any one of which could have robbed Khan of the single extra point that would have meant him retaining his titles.

            Does rematch mean the loss would still count in his career stats?

            Might watch it ...

              Only if they change the result to a no-contest which could still happen it depends on what happens at the IBF hearing

                  Khan has good fast hands but no power in them and also he needs to stop trying to prove he has a chin and stop getting hit his defensive skills are average at best.

                  Boxing is about hitting and not being hit!

                  He is an above average fighter and what about giving Maidana a rematch now that he got one against Lamount.

                  one thing is for sure he would get destroyed by Money Mayweather

                    That's unexpected, and of course will make for a very lucrative fight.

                      I'm more interested in seeing Pacquiao fight Mayweather, Khan will come unstuck again at some point. Just like Carl Froch did firstly against Kessler and then against Ward.

                      Difference between Froch and Khan is Froch can take a hell of a punch
