Amir Khan

Post by Rosie_titters »

got beat last night in Washington DC, by Les Patterson - and typically blamed the ref, blamed Washington and anyone else he could think off

tactically son, you got it wrong and underestimate Patterson - Khan got off to a good start knocking patterson down, but then spent the next few rounds just running around trying to keep away from Patterson

had 2 points taken off for pushing, but could easily had points taken away for constant leaning

so the Mayweather v Khan fight looks to be on hold then

Agreed Rosie,I can't understand all the "we wos robbed" stuff from the Khan camp.The sad thing is,he is a good boxer who could have beaten Peterson if he had boxed instead of trying to lean on.and wear down his opponent.

Khan fought the wrong fight.

Not only did he keep fouling (and lose points because of it), he did too much trading punches, not enough stick and move.

When he did stick and move, he looked good.

Peterson worked very hard, threw good combinations and deserved the win.

I do not know if Khan just lost his head, but if he fought according to instructions, then the coaching needs to be scrutinised.
