Once everyone calmed down, we can see that Saturday was a good night for DC Boxing.
When ESPN is now calling DC a "fight town" and the Washington Post says it's "The single greatest sports story in Washington this year", anyone who says differently has a hidden agenda.
If Cooper didn't rule the official knockdown (which wasn't really a knockdown) in the first and only penalized Khan once for pushing then the points scenario would have been the same.
Everybody is focusing on the pushing penalties. What about the blown knockdown call?
If a knockdown isn't called and only 1 pushing penalty is called then Peterson still wins based on judges scoring.
Would anyone expect Washington Post to publish anything else, they are into promoting the city just as much as they are into writing half ass stories. If you use that in basing your opinions then maybe you should seek another source
Good Points! That was a bogus knockdown. Peterson actually hit Khan with a hook when they called the knockdown.
They can continue to write what they want. Its not going to change the outcome. Lamont won!! He represented the DMV very well!
Congrats to Team Peterson!
The Washington Post in this case is very important considering they very rarely cover anything called boxing on any kind of basis.
For this to come out after a Redskins game even with the team's troubles, speaks volumes.
Gene Wang of the Post did an outstanding job covering the fight week. They treated it like the major story it was. And that has nothing to do with promoting the city.
Haters goin' hate Gary.
