By Scott Gilfoid: What we learned more than anything last night from Amir Khan’s 12 round split decision loss to Lamont Peterson is that WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley would handle Khan without any problems if they were to fight.

Peterson agreeable to fighting Khan in England
By Dan Ambrose: IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) is reportedly agreeable to traveling to Amir Khan’s home country of England to give him a rematch in front of his own British fans if the contract is right. Peterson beat Khan by a 12 round decision last Saturday night in Washington, DC, the home city of Peterson. Now Peterson is willing to return the favor to Khan.
Should Khan be allowed to foul without being penalized?
(Khan seen here about to shove Peterson hard using his forearm) By Scott Gilfoid: To listen to Amir Khan’s loving boxing fans bellyache today about his close 12 round split decision loss last night against Lamont Peterson, it’s quite sad. It doesn’t register with Khan’s loyal fans that he deserved to be penalized twice for shoving the heck out of Peterson when he on the attack and trying to win the fight.
Golden Boy making a mistake if they allow Khan to fight Peterson again
By William Mackay: I think Golden Boy Promotions could be putting Amir Khan’s once promising career in terrible jeopardy by allowing him to fight Lamont Peterson again after Khan’s loss last night to the Washington, DC based fighter. Khan was beaten by a 12 round split decision and struggled with Peterson’s body attack and inside game.

By William Mackay: Newly crowned IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) was a real trooper about taking Amir Khan’s constant fouling last night without complaints in beating him by a 12 round split decision at the Convention center in Washington, DC.
Khan: I was the much cleaner fighter
By William Mackay: If you wanted a good laugh last night it came when former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-2, 1 KO’s) was being interviewed by HBO’s analyst Larry Merchant after Khan’s 12 round split decision loss to Lamont Peterson, in which Khan claimed that he was the more cleaner fighter on the night compared to Peterson. How Khan could have told Merchant this with a straight face is beyond me.
Khan underestimates Peterson
By John F. McKenna (McJack): New IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) fought the fight of his life last night at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in D.C. to win a narrow albeit controversial decision over former champion Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s).
Peterson used street tactics to defeat Khan
By Dominic Sauboorah: What a shame. Boxing has really gone down hill. In boxing nowadays a fight is judged based on aggressiveness and determination. Sorry. This isn’t a wrestling match. This isn’t the MMA. This is a boxing match, where punches matter.
Where next for Lamont Peterson?
By Daniel Tagg: Firstly I would like to say how good it was to see Amir “King” Khan get beaten. Khan has not impressed m at all and Lamont Peterson truly did well and rightly deserved to win the fight last night at the Washington DC Convention Center.
Will Khan still move up to welterweight now to pester Mayweather for a fight?
By Scott Gilfoid: I almost died laughing at how inept Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s) looked tonight in getting beaten up and put on the run by Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) in losing a 12 round split decision in Washington, DC. Khan couldn’t handle the pressure, and resorted to his usual fouling tricks to try and save his hide.
