Comments Thread For: Amir Khan, Roach Have a Plan For Peterson's Attacks

Take protein shakes and grow an even bigger head than Peterson's?

No, seriously...Khan is going to KO Peterson. I had Khan winning by 1 point even with the deductions. This time, Khan not only seems really up for it but he's really pissed off.

I thought peterson won 4 rounds at best. I think khan can win it again especially now that they're fighting in a neutral city...but I wouldn't mind seeing peterson win the rematch.

A Mere Con's plan is too run from Peterson. He gonna lose again.

khans got nohead movement after 5 or 6 rounds stands on the ropes and takes punishment needs to sort that out b4 he can takethat step to the next level

[miniq]

The plan so far:

Use jab
stay off ropes...


I would have liked to have heard more about using uppercuts and inside fighting...

hummmm....

Looks to me like they will try a stick and move job again...

If so UD victory...nothing special

I'm so happy Roach has a plan to beat Peterson this time... His plans always seem work!

I thought Khan won the first fight but it was very close.

Khan has to keep Peterson at the end of his stiff jabs. His jab is better than his ring movement. Once Peterson works his way in, he's golden. I don't think Khan has the mentality for in-fighting, at least not for sustained periods.

Peterson wins by taking it to Khan from the get go. Smother Khan and don't give him the range to pot shot. He's got to shorten his punches too. Sloppy arm swings give Khan opportunities to counter against a slower opponent.

What exactly is Freddie going to be ready to deal with and have a plan for? Khan tried being offensive, counterpunching, being defensive, trading shots and fighting inside and boxing from the outside and none of it worked. So what else is he going to do this time exactly? Rub magic beans? Freddie is a good trainer no doubt but the problem had nothing to do with Khan's strategy, the problem is in Khan's head. He fights with an amateur points style almost, he lunges with his punches and does that 2-3 combo punch shoeshine stuff. He just cannot handle constant pressure, he gets on his bicycle, like he against Maidana and Peterson. If you back Khan up, he is in trouble, plain and simple. Khan makes no adjustments whatsoever for who he is fighting, he fights one way, that is it. That is what differentiates great fighters from "elite" fighters. If Khan cannot back Peterson up or slow him down, he loses again basically. Luckily for Khan, Peterson is not a puncher or he would have been stopped.

I think it was a surprise the way Lamont fought after the 5th round for khan and roach and they hadn't trained for this and were not expecting it at all i think they were both shocked i will say though the more i watch this fight the more and more i am overly convinced khan won it, he had a bad night where as Peterson was at his very limit a few adjustments from khans camp and the fight becomes a walk in the park. 1 mill on khan if your interested pm me
