By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) is officially sick of all the crying and complaining that former IBf/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s) has been doing since Peterson beat him last month in Washington, DC in an exciting performance by Peterson.

Upon learning of the fuss that Khan was making on his twitter page earlier today about a mystery man seen at ringside that Khan felt was interfering with one of the judges, Peterson told the Washingtonpost.com tonight “I’m tired of it. That’s his [Khan] energy wasted. I’m at the point where I’m like, ‘Forget it.’ I know the hearing [IBF and WBA appeal hearing on January 18th] is coming up. Whatever they decide, they decide. I’m not going to sit and cry about anything. I’m happy with my performance. I believe I won the fight.”

I totally agree with Peterson. Khan is wasting his time trying to toss up speculation and somehow devalue Peterson’s win with gullible boxing fans that can’t see for themselves that Khan got beat. Khan is using so much energy and no one is buying it. If it makes him feel better about his loss, then it’s good for him, but he still lost the fight.

Khan’s promoters from Golden Boy spent a bunch of money appealing the loss to the IBF and WBA to try and get the decision overturned so that Khan is still champion. A verdict could be given by January 18th. I fully expect one of those sanctioning bodies to give Khan his wish of ordering an immediate rematch. Not sure if they’ll give him the win, because that will really make a joke of everything. But I won’t be surprised if that happens too. Golden Boy Promotions is a major powerhouse and I can see Khan getting his loss overturned. I just hope this doesn’t become a regular thing for him every time he loses.

Peterson sounds ready for whatever the IBF and WBA decide without making a federal case over it the way Khan is. At the end of the day, Peterson always intended to fight Khan in a rematch anyway. That’s why it seems so silly all the wasted energy from Khan about this.
