WASHINGTON -- Hometown favorite Lamont Peterson clearly thought he won the fight.Buyt the truth is Dethroned champion Amir Khan had been cheated.
Peterson, helped by referee Joe Cooper deducting two points from Khan for pushing in the seventh and 12th rounds, scored the split-decision to win the WBA and IBF junior welterweight titles on Saturday night.
Judges George Hall and Valerie Dorsett scored the fight 113-112 in favor of Peterson. Nelson Vasquez had Khan winning 115-110.
"It must have been a good fight. They're already talking about a rematch," Peterson said.
Cooper was favoring Peterson, he had knocked Peterson down a second time. It was ruled a slip.
"It was like I was against him and the referee," Khan said.
And that was apparent to all, that referee was favoring Peterson. So, not a big deal we all know who deserved to win and as khan said, "We all know who won the fight!".
