Amir Khan took the news well about the WBA not having given him back his World Boxing Association Super light welterweight title. Khan had earlier in the day been under the impression that the WBA was handing him back his title rather than having to win it in the ring against Lamont Peterson on May 19th in their rematch. Khan seemed excited about getting his title back, calling it “Good News” on his twitter page. However, WBA president Gilberto Mendoza then rained on Khan’s parade by saying that Khan doesn’t have the WBA title and will have to win it back in the ring against Peterson rather than having it handed to him by the WBA.Khan said this about it on his twitter page “It it’s true or not true about the WBA handing back the title, I’d rather fight and win it. We all know what happened last time + prove I’m the best.”
Khan had a well wisher in Steve Bunce, who said “Well said, This time you will win it. Get your head proper and do it the right way.”
I agree with Khan about all of us seeing what happened in the ring last December when Khan lost to Peterson. We saw Khan do well in the first round and get credit for a knockdown where he didn’t land a blow and was seen elbowing Peterson to the canvas. We also saw the fight change starting in the 4th round when Khan briefly tried to slug with Peterson and ended up getting the worst of it.
From then on, Khan was off to the races, circling the ring for the rest of the fight, pushing Peterson down constantly by grabbing him by the head and pulling forward on it until he was in a bent over position. We also saw Khan use a lot of head locks and pushing off on Peterson, the later resulting in Khan losing two points after failing to head the referee Joe Cooper’s warnings for Khan to stop pushing. The fight man won that fight and I’m surprised Khan would say “we all know what happened,” because fans did see what happened and what happened was Khan got beat.
