Roach once threw “Mystery Man” out of his gym
January 9th, 2012
By John F. McKenna (McJack): The “Mystery Man” at the center of the current controversy in the December fight in which Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s) lost his title belts to new WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) was allegedly once thrown out of Freddie Roach’s gym.
Richard Schaefer the CEO for Golden Boy Promotions said yesterday that the identity of the “Mystery Man” is Mustafa Ameen. There are conflicting reports as to whether Ameen is an IBF official or not. Although it is almost certain that he did not belong at ringside talking with the WBA judging supervisor during the fight. Adding fuel to the controversy was the fact that Mustafa is seen on tape after the fight celebrating in Peterson’s corner with Lamont’s team.
The Daily Mirror quoted five time Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach saying the following:
“He comes to my gym. He came to the (U.S.) Olympic training centre and I had him removed one time. (Ameen) has no credentials – he’s not a member of any boxing organization. There’s no reason for him to be at ringside.”
Schaefer claims that the WBA had offered a rematch with Peterson and called for the IBF to do the same.
Roach maintains that because of the numerous controversies surrounding the fight, the match should be judged as a no-contest. The mounting controversies include the point deductions by referee Joe Cooper, the disappearance and reappearance of the scorecard and now the “Mystery Man” allegedly interfering with the WBA judging supervisor during the fight.
A hearing is scheduled for January 18 before the World Boxing Association (WBA) and the International Boxing Federation (IBF) to discuss the various grievances surrounding the controversial Khan – Peterson fight.
Khan had planned to move up from light welterweight to welterweight after the Peterson fight, but losing his title belts put a least a temporary glitch in those plans.

Your comments Gilfrod about give khan his two belts ,mayweathers money. pacs seat in congress, and lemonts missus cracked everyone up when we read it ,but im sure freddie roach is working on what you said. LOL
2012 will be the worst and the last we hear of roach and his protajei, pacsteroids, a super bad year for this num nuts in the ring.
give khan all the belts, Mayweathers money, pacmans seat in philip congress and pettersons misses
Go get’em Khan. These cheaters need to be shown who they’re playing with. Take’m all the way to the highest court. We’re with you.
Cheaterson, 3 corrupt judges, a paid Reff and a mustery man, Yet they still couldnt beat Khan!
How dares he (Khan) compalin about being stolen his two belts ?
Yeah, grow bolls, man up, give Peterson your wife as well, then you’ll be respected by these f;;ls !
i had alot of respect for roach when he was fighting and as a trainer. but now he is growing weak. he would not have cried this much over a loss before. now all he wants to do is cry with khan.
Khan will rule the Welterweight division, watch and see all of you’z are gonna be shamed, Remember Khan is full of muscle not and ounce of fat has ha got in his body, So he’z going to muscle uo ti 147 and he’z going to look big like he use to at llightweight, trust me i;ve seen Amir Khan long ago in 2008 and he looked big as a middleweight.
Khan,
You’ll be hated by everyone including your fans if you do this. I saw the fight and you lost. If you want your belt(s) back, get a rematch. DON’T do this in court.
And to get the support you crave from true boxing followers amir you realy do need to get in with prescot again according to your followers its an easy win for you should it ever happen so they say its irrelivent and your far to advanced in your career to mix with the likes of briediss again ,i like many others see it differently from your followers and actualy beleve the fight would bring you closer to many who repeatedly fail to accept youbecause they see yiu as avoiding such fighters .But in truth its more likely that an encounter between either prescot ,miadana and amir khan is more likely to happen on either a kids playstation or nintendo game box than in an actual ring.
Brusa well said and perfectly correct in all departments.
What a sore loser,lady khan needs to buy a real man balls and stop crying,it is boxing not wrestling to push and hold opponents down khan is a clown overated
Nobody rob you queen con, grow a good pair of balls and admit you lose the fight, now man up and fight maidana or victor ortiz and only then is the champ petersons wants you can have a rematch, but for now shut up
of course the ref was corrupt and the mystery man was the cause of it all. peterson did not win that fight fairly and everyone knows that. this fight will be declared a no contest and an immediate rematch will have to happen in new york or vegas.
Jose it shouldn’t be that way though i think it’s good of champions to go to there apponents home town to fight them you don’t just expect to get ripped off by a bunch of robbing American b st rds
@Jose Floyd cant punch foo!..lol
Khan is trying to get his belts back w/o a rematch.
i don’t think the two point deduction should have mattered. if anything the judges gave khan two much credit. peterson won without the help from the ref in my opinion. i bet the mystery man was there to help khan lol
Khan is a bum.
How dumb can Freddie Roach and Khan be to go to Washington and fight Peterson. Now they are complaining. Give me a break! They deserve everything that they got. Furthermore, Khan needs to go back and fight the two guys that he lost to before. He got knocked out in the first round and lost the other fight. He can’t punch! Hello this is boxing. If he can’t punch how in the world does he contemplate going to welterweight. he is a track wanna be.
None of this is proven or confirmed, Kahn and company just want the public to buy into the speculation, and at this time thats all it is. Speculation. And as a supposed boxing journalist you should know after giving multiple warnings. Joe Cooper was more than entitled to deduct those points
Time to give Khan’s belts back to him.
IBF black mafia strikes again
