:atu: Its hard to be serious about this, but all jokes aside, thats actually a pretty embarassing pic right there seeing Khan frantically run away from his opponent.
I guess now that Pacquiao's shot, you're going to be jocking me from now on instead. Fair warning, I turn 32 next year, so be prepared to find someone else in 2012.
You're absolutely right, drink bloat does have a strange feminine quailty to it doesn't it? Fucking weird.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/201...t-peterson-washington-dc?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 Amir Khan will leave Washington on Tuesday an angry young man, without his world title belts but at least buoyed by assurances that his next fight will be a rematch with the new local hero, Lamont Peterson. Yet not even the prospect of that lucrative fight – almost certainly on 31 March in Las Vegas, at either the Mandalay Bay, where he fought last year, or the bigger MGM Grand – could erase the bitter memory of sub-standard refereeing and some curious alterations to the scorecards. When the relatively unknown local referee, Joe Cooper, docked him a second point in the final round, for pushing, Khan's final assault was rendered pointless. The two American judges gave Peterson the fight 113-112 and the Puerto Rican official had it 115-110 for Khan. The dethroned 10-stone king feels particularly aggrieved having come to Lamont's home town for the sixth defence of his WBA belt (he also owned the IBF version) – and now will demand the new champion returns the favour. The indications are that he will. However, Khan's trainer, Freddie Roach, was in no mood for handing out olive branches. "It was a very close fight, I know, and good for boxing. Both of them fought a hell of a fight. But the referees shouldn't decide fights, the judges should. The referee made himself the judge tonight. We need to go back to big-time boxing in Vegas [to avoid a repeat]. I did a little bit of homework on Cooper and the word was he was pretty fair – and I was wrong. For the referee to take a point away in the last round and cost Amir the title it's … unusual." Did he think there was an "odour" about the fight? "Well, they were a long time getting the scorecards up," said Roach. "They told me there might be an amendment, that there might be a mistake on one of them. We got the information that we got [the decision] and everyone was happy for a moment. But there was, like, a 10-minute delay and then we didn't get it. They were awful getting the cards up there. Something's fishy. But what are you going to do?" The answer, it seems, is to do it all over again next year. "We've spoken to HBO," said Khan's father, Shah, "and, if they agree to give us 31 March, we'll do it in Vegas, neutral ground for everybody. Lamont has agreed to a rematch straight away. It's not about the money this time. "But, yes, it was a big blow. If you get beat, you can live with it but getting ripped off is another thing. He lost to the referee. Also, it seems the adding up of the scoring is not right. Hopefully there will be some sort of inquiry. "It was a tough fight, don't get me wrong. Lamont kept coming forward but I think Amir did enough to beat the guy who came in with his head down but the referee never took a point off him, even though he warned him three or four times. Amir didn't get warned. Without the intervention of the referee Amir wins the fight. "We had no concern initially. These guys are professionals and we thought they'd act professionally but unfortunately they didn't. The referee disappeared straight away. We went in the back immediately to speak to him but they said 'No, he's already gone.' What can you do? Maybe that's why there's never been a big fight here for the past 18 years." Ultimately it was down to the fighters to take it away from the officials, as Roach conceded. "He fought the best he could," the trainer said. "I know we can do better but I'm not disappointed because I thought he won the fight. "I told him not to go to the ropes but [if he did] to throw the uppercut and he was just missing that shot. He let him get too much momentum. Lamont was very strong, very aggressive. But I thought it was bad when the referee took the first point away [in round seven], I said to him: 'Where's the warning?' He just looked at me and didn't say a thing. Inexperience?" Khan said: "It was like I was against two people in there. He kept trying to pick me up. He was coming in with his head every time, lower and lower. I had to push him away because I was trying to stay away from his head. "He was being effective pressuring but I was the cleaner fighter all night. I'm ready for a rematch. I knew it would be tough in his home town and maybe this was why [big-time] boxing hasn't been in DC for 20 years if you get decisions like this. He was either going to head-butt me or push me down." All the pre-fight talk was of Khan launching himself towards being No1 in the world on the back of this fight. Could he still do it? "I think so. We win the rematch and we're back on track – as long as we get a referee who doesn't decide fights, with three good judges. Yeah, I think we'll be OK."
Presumably, science is still working an explanation for the emergence of man-children such as yourself.
I hear his butt has been rounded out a lot too by female, dick-wielding Soviet special agents. Oscar has puffy boozers face. He drinks your beer-shake, he drinks the blood of Khan from Schaefers tract.
