	==Notes==		==Notes==
	* ~~Owing to Peterson's later failing~~ the ~~post~~ fight ~~drug tests~~ and ~~testing positive for steroids,~~ Khan's ~~WBA title~~ was ~~later reinstated~~. ~~The IBF~~ and ~~the D.C. Boxing Commission are still reviewing~~ Peterson~~'s status~~.		[[File:Khan-Peterson 135481141.jpg\|right\|375px]]
	*~~Khan's 6th Defence~~ of ~~his WBA belt (won by beating Kotelnik)~~, ~~1st Defence of his IBF belt (that he won against Judah)~~		[[File:Khan-Peterson 135481376.jpg\|right\|375px]]
	* Khan ~~took the early points lead when he knocked down Peterson on the ropes with~~ a ~~left hook~~ in the first round ~~for a 10-8 round~~		*Promoted by [[Golden Boy Promotions]], the fight was billed as the "Capital Showdown."
	* Khan ~~incurred point deductions~~ in ~~rounds~~ seven and twelve ~~for excessive~~ pushing~~, costing him the fight~~		*Entering the fight, [[Ring Magazine\|The Ring]] magazine ranked Khan No. 1 and Peterson No. 6 at junior welterweight.
	* ~~Without~~ the ~~point deduction in~~ the ~~twelfth~~ and ~~final round~~, the ~~fight would have been scored~~ a ~~draw: 116~~-~~110~~, ~~113~~-~~113~~, ~~113~~-~~113~~, ~~without either point deduction khan would have come away the winner via unanimous decision~~		*Khan's purse was $1.1 million, and Peterson earned $650,000.
	* Even with the ~~point deductions~~ by ~~referee Joseph Cooper~~, ~~many of~~ the ~~press~~ at ringside ~~saw~~ the ~~close bout as~~ a ~~113-113 draw or 113-112 Khan~~.		*There was a near-sellout crowd of 8,647.
	* ~~Peterson temporarily won Khan~~'s ~~WBA and IBF Light Welterweight titles~~, but ~~subsequently lost~~ a ~~possible chance in 2012~~ [[~~Floyd Mayweather~~]] ~~b y failing~~ the ~~post fight drug tests~~.		*Peterson was an 10-1 underdog.
	* ~~Khan appeared to win rounds 1~~, 2, 5, 6, 9 ~~and 10~~ Peterson ~~appeared to win rounds 3~~, ~~7 (10-8)~~, ~~8 and~~ the ~~important 11th. Rounds 4 and 10 appeared close. 12th Was a Khan Round however due~~ to the ~~Point Deduction~~ - ~~Most saw it as an even Round (9~~-9)		*Khan scored a knockdown in the first round.
	* Khan dominated the rounds he won with his jab, while Peterson ~~threw~~ and ~~landed more effective body shots when he pinned~~ Khan ~~along the ropes throughout the contest~~		*Referee Joseph Cooper deducted two points from Khan for pushing, one in round seven and one in round twelve. In his post-fight writeup, [[ESPN]].com's [[Dan Rafael]] wrote that pushing is "a foul call that is highly unusual."
	* Peterson ~~defeats~~ Khan~~, the Boxrec # 2 ranked Light Welterweight~~ in ~~the world~~, ~~to rise in~~ the ~~rankings.~~ Peterson~~'s sole loss was a decision to Boxrec # 1 [[Timothy Bradley]]~~		*Golden Boy appealed the decision to both the WBA and IBF. In its appeal letters, Golden Boy pointed out several reasons why it believed Khan deserved an immediate rematch. It said the referee missed a first-round knockdown for Khan, which he ruled a slip. It also claimed that judge George Hill's scoring of the seventh round was originally 10-10 but changed to read 10-8 in Peterson's favor. Another issue Golden Boy raised was that referee Cooper, while docking Khan points for pushing, never addressed Peterson's constant leading with his head. Then there was the much-publicized issue of the so-called ringside "mystery man," who turned out to be Mustafa Ameen. He was affiliated with the IBF and had a credential arranged by the IBF as a courtesy, but was not at the fight in an official capacity. However, he was seen on video at ringside apparently touching the scoring slips, which is against the rules, and distracting a judge. He was later seen in the ring apparently celebrating with the Peterson team after the fight.
	* Billed by promoter [[Oscar De La Hoya]] as the ~~'Capital Showdown'~~. ~~On staging this Golden Boy Promotion~~ on ~~HBO in Washington D.C.~~, ~~De La Hoya stated "We will~~ be ~~(coming) back~~ to ~~D.C~~."		*On January 12, 2012, the WBA ordered a rematch. The IBF was set to hear Golden Boy's appeal on January 18, but Golden Boy withdrew its appeal one day before the hearing. "We are not going to go somewhere where we feel we can't get a fair shake, that's the bottom line," Golden Boy CEO [[Richard Schaefer]] said. "I feel it is impossible to get a fair shake with the IBF."
	* ~~Peterson versus Khan press conference clip on Youtube [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9t33MKLLic]]~~		*The rematch was set for May 19, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada, but it was canceled on May 9, two days after it was revealed that Peterson had failed a random urine test. His sample came back positive for synthetic testosterone, a banned substance. Peterson said he took it under the supervision of a doctor for medical purposes — an abnormally low testosterone level. However, Peterson did not disclose it to the [[Nevada State Athletic Commission]] or to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which was overseeing the random pre-fight testing that Peterson asked for and Khan agreed to.
			*Peterson admitted that testosterone pellets had been implanted in him shortly before his fight with Khan in December. As a result, the WBA stripped Peterson and reinstated Khan as the WBA Super World Super Lightweight Champion on July 11, 2012. However, on August 10, the IBF announced that Peterson would be allowed to keep the IBF title.
	~~Lamont Peterson was tested positive for synthetic testosterone after both fighters agreed~~ to ~~random testing before their 19 May light~~-~~welterweight rematch in Las Vegas.~~		*Golden Boy tried to have the result changed to a no-contest, but the victory for Peterson was upheld.

	~~Lamont Peterson Stated that he did the procedure in November~~, ~~before~~ the ~~first fight, meaning he had illegal substance in his body during the first bout between the two~~
