Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
Has a World title fight ever had it's result overturned in this fashion? I know Hopkins v Dawson did in much different circumstances but no way is this result getting overturned.

It would be a joke if this got overturned.jameswilson wrote:Has a World title fight ever had it's result overturned in this fashion? I know Hopkins v Dawson did in much different circumstances but no way is this result getting overturned.
Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
This is absolutely disgusting and the most arrogant thing I've ever heard in boxing. In a sport full of arrogance that says something!
As LeedsLad said, Khan is in denial and will prove to be his downfall again. Just because a tight result didn't go his way he has the front to get the result void. No way does this happen otherwise it will open the floodgates for decisions.
And to have the gall to offer Peterson a rematch if he wins the appeal is nothing short of breathtaking.
Since Kotelnik, I've been warming to Khan as a boxer and was starting to dislike him less as a person, but this just puts me back to square one with him.
Khan needs to man up and take it on the chin (if his chin holds up
), get back in the gym and work on what went wrong and come back stronger like he did after Prescott to his credit.
Whatever happens, I really hope he rematches Peterson and gets his ass whooped; only after Peterson has made the little shit squirm for a few fights first.

Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
The biggest dilemma Peterson has is whether to kick his arse again whilst the iron is still hot - and perhaps end Amir's dreams of getting megafights, or like you say make him earn his shot and perhaps improve in the interim, whilst risking a loss himself.
Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
Good shout but I'd rather see him made to squirm by Peterson. He's like a spoilt brat who's used to getting his own way so it'll teach him a valuable lesson if he can't, and like every other boxer who has tasted defeat, send him back to the gym with some things to work on.LeedsLad wrote:The biggest dilemma Peterson has is whether to kick his arse again whilst the iron is still hot - and perhaps end Amir's dreams of getting megafights, or like you say make him earn his shot and perhaps improve in the interim, whilst risking a loss himself.
What makes him to fornicating special that he thinks he can get a fight overturned!
Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
Watching Khan on the news he quite clearly stated that Michael Buffer claims the original scorecards he was handed showed Khan as the winner, that they were taken from him and when returned, Peterson was shown as the winner. That absolutely must be investigated, so in that respect, i dont think Golden Boy and Khan are out of line.
I thought the ref was diabolical, but with the benefit of hindsight, Khan was blatantly pushing, its just none of us are used to seeing anyone being penilised for it. Thats not to say the ref was totally in the right however, i still think he was far to harsh on Khan throughout the fight. Worth a complaint perhaps, but the decision wont be reversed from any wrongdoing on the refs part.
I really dislike the way Golden Boy and Khan talk like Peterson is just a pawn in their game, telling everyone the rematch is a given without ever really consulting Petersons team about it. It almost makes me want Peterson to tell them to eff off and go fight someone else instead.

Re: Golden Boy/Khan out of line?
Khan's even blaming his brand new cauliflower ear on a headbutt as opposed to Peterson's punches?
Oh man, Amir really is on a different planet? His ego has consumed him. When he is KOd in the rematch he'll be claiming a quick count and saying he was about to win by KO.
Amir has lost his marbles.
