O/T Amir Khan

[drew]

Unbelievable all these people who dismiss the strange circumstances with a 'you lost get over it'. Nothing worse in sport than corruption except when it is ignored. Let's allow Ben Johnson his gold medal back and all the other drug cheats. Let's not deduct 10pts for going into administration so other clubs can stitch up the local St John's Ambulance brigade. There may be nothing in Khan's appeal but it needs to be investigated fully and independently.

I totally agree with this post. It matters not a jot what you think of Khan as a boxer or his tactics on the night, If the guy in the hat was interfering with the scoring and had no legitimate right to be involved, then the fight should be deemed null and void. To all the "man up and get over it" brigade, would you take that stance if it were YOU on the recieving end of a decision that looked suspicious due to possible corruption?....I think not!

he has been granted a re-match and lenny henry has promised to stay well clear of the judges this time...( well dodgy though, that guy needs finding and putting away)

Cocky arrogant bad loser with cliche Asian chip on his shoulder. Take the defeat like a man and go forward and learn from it please.

'Cliche Asian chip on his shoulder' , WTF ?

I've no doubt there will be a re-match whatever the outcome of the investigation. This controversy has been priceless promotion, and the fight has the potential to be a massive pay day for both fighters in Vegas. I'm even beginning to wonder if it's all been set up intentionally!

Nothing like a good old fashioned bit of racism is there.

I'm not a Khan fan in the slightest, but this looks very dodgy indeed. There needs to be a full investigation.

Wish Lenny Henry was banned from tv, worst "comedian" that gets any airtime!
Obviously if theres needs to be an investigation so be it, but having the authorities said he was a rep for boxing board.
I watched the fight & was a close but I thought Peterson won it,
this controversy will help pay per view tickets next time up or am i cynical?

It stinks. The more that comes it the stronger the stench.

A rematch should be organised this side of the Atlantic. Double purse up for grabs, belt status changed to not held until the rematch had been contested.

Imagine if Football was like Boxing. We could have 4 World Cup Champions each recognised by one of: FIFA, World Football Association, World Football Organisation or World Football Federation.

He lost - deal with it and accept it. He's been offered a re-match anyway for f*** sake
