Khan vs Peterson: Round by Round

mayweather jr would come forward, but not as recklessly as peterson did. it would be a slower paced fight. peterson started to pick off his shots easier as it progressed and he weakened khan downstairs so that khans shots had a lot less snap

 

Khan doesn't know any tactics, he only knows how to do one thing, and that's mindlessly move around throwing flurries.

Which works amazingly well against many fighters due to his speed and range.

 

Khan being in the ring with PBF is a FUCKING LUDICROUS notion. It was before this fight. It will be after.PBf would counter the shit out of a mere con. His alleged handspeed would do nothing. Con would do what he does, fire a sloppy combo fall forward and get countered and smacked.

 

his reflexes have slowed. clearly. his hands are slower, his feet are slower. he is more or less shot.

 

His hands and feet are significantly slower than even when he was at 140, but his reflexes? They still look very sharp to me, probably the sharpest in the sport still.

 

it doesnt matter what he knows, len.

the opponent will choose to engage in a tactical fight with him. that shall benefit khan more than against someone who puts pressure and forces the pace.

 

still declined from his peak. considerably. more or less shot.

 

Well Neilgro - My point is Khan won't be thinking in there, he'll be doing what he always does. It just won't be working very well because Floyd is so hard to hit, despite the speed difference, he'll see Khan's mindless, predictable flurries a mile off.

Even Peterdude was doing a pretty good job of anticipating Khan's robot flurries and covering up.

 

Roy Jones is SHOT (actually BEYOND shot). DLH in the Pac fight was SHOT.

Floyd is past his prime. So is Pac.

Thing is, even past primmed versions of Floyd and Pac are better than Khan.

Andre Berto KO's Khan.

 

he wont be able to out think mayweather jr. no one around right now will be able to. he will do what he does, and it can be effective early in the bout. doesnt matter anymore. that fight went from a certainty to an vague possibility down the road.

 

bullshit. pacquiao is MORE OR LESS SHOT !!!!

 

Mex, you are one of my favorite members on the board, but you really suck at making up nicknames(derisive ones).Peterdude. Lol. You are to making up derisive names as Steve-Dave is to making threads.

 

Hey Neil, who would you pick out of your top 2 love interests, Floydy boy and Serge, if Floyd moved upto 160?

And due to Khan losing, I think Floyd Vs Ginger is looking pretty probable for May.

 

::

Why thankyou Ike. However, it's not meant to be derisive per se, it's just meant to sound/look stupid, for the sake of looking/sounding stupid. Like Doorson.

 

alvarez certainly seems the likely foe for may.

martinez would knock mayweather jr out at 154 and up.

 

Khan might as well stay at 140, if he can still make the weight. A Peterson rematch is winnable for him, and a fight with Robert Guerrero or Bradley would still be interesting.

Without a Floyd payday, he should stay the hell outta 147.

Berto isnt very good, but he destroys Khan. The surfing poser Ortiz would likely KO Khan.

Mike Jones would beat the ever living dog shit outta Khan, but that fight would never happen anyway.

 

He doesn't look huge to me at 140. A good size, but he looks more like a 140 pounder than a welter, put it that way. Lamont looked at least as big as Khan, only an inch or 2 shorter, but a decent amount thicker.

I agree that most of the top welterweights would beat him.

 

peterson was 6 lbs heavier than khan, according to HBO. yet he was still far hungrier. kudos to peterson

 

Personally I think that's almost a pick em fight. Floyd is hard to hit and crafty, and it's not like Serge is aggressive enough to use his size advantage to overwhelm Floyd and bully him.

What is a big possibility is Sergio's power making Floyd too tentative and winning a decision over a highly negative Floyd.

 

Martinez is very beatable. Floyd is to risk adverse to beat him clearly. Martinez wouldn't touch Floyd, much less knock him out.

 

Agreed. His best bet is just go for a rematch. He'll win. Not because he's better than Peterson, but because Peterson will likely NEVER fight this motivated again.

Although, he's now put together TWO very good performances in a row. He fought the same tonight as he did vs Cayo.

My hunch is however, that he wouldnt be as motivated in a rematch. Khan would run, and bullshit flurry his way to a UD.

 

martinez KOs mayweather jr. not that it would ever happen. he would land hard punches, as he has done in every fight of his i have ever seen.

 

Do you agree that Rios would beat the shit outta Khan?

 

its a fight that will never happen. rios still has a lot to prove at 140. he was hurt by acosta, who isnt as sharp as khan. rios defense is worse than peterson, and his chin may not be as good either.

i certainly dont think rios would beat the shit out of khan, he'd be receiving an ass whip early on for sure

 

Nationalism, baby.

 

That's because you act like a retarded teenage girl who is about to get fucked for the first time

 

Just watched the fight myself. Was a decent scrap; again, Khan showed he has a lot of heart and, coupled with his non-existant foot movement and hilariously pourous defence, these made for an entertaining fight.

Peterson deserves credit. He knew this was his big chance and he brought everything he could. He probably deserved the decision, too, because Khan fought his typically stupid fight and all that back-pedalling caught up with him. It also seemed to me that Khan completely under-estimated Peterson, like he was a stepping stone to the 'mega-fight' he was lining up with Floyd. Luckily for Khan, that fight won't happen now. I have said all along that Floyd would have perminently injured Khan if that fight happened. Two totally different calibre of fighters.

The referee, by the way, was absolutely terrible. If the mark of a good ref is that you do not notice he is there, this guy was one of the worst ever. He just never shut the fuck up. All I heard was 'Khan...Khan...Khan' for round after round. The point deduction in the last round was appalling but utterly predictable; you could see it happening a mile off. It was like he was waiting to make it. Ike is right: if that had been in England or Germany, people would be crying 'FIX' from now until eternity.

Good fight, anyway.

MTF

 

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like retarded teenage girls that are about to get fucked for the first time?

 

The Boxer beat the Athlete.

 

Yeah, except he basically played a pressure fighter, and a pretty mediocre one at that. A pressure fighter with not much power, an average inside game, and a sub par workrate ::

It just shows what a modicum of skill can do when pressuring compared to someone like Maidana who is just a crude neanderthal.

Rios is a far, far superior pressure fighter than the impersonation of one that Peterdude did on Saturday.

I would love for that fight to happen and Rios to be the underdog, bar a freak cut or something, it's almost a sure bet.
