Preview of The toughest fight: Amir v/s Peterson

Recent hype created by Geo Super made me curious about this weekend’s big fight–Amir Khan/Lamont Peterson. If you ask Pakistani, they will tell you that Khan is the favorite. But if you talk to Peterson’s supporters, they will tell you he can beat Khan.

As per video archive on Youtube it is clear that both men have the talent and ability to win. Analytical result of their career are as follow:

29-1 for Peterson and 26-1 for Khan. Khan is 5’10″ versus Peterson at 5’9″ and two years apart in age. At 27, Peterson is the elder man. KO ratio of Khan is over 66% while Peterson's ratio is just less than 50%.

Khan has also been in with top contenders like Zab Judah, Dimitry Salita and Maidana. His only loss was also in 2008, to Breidis Prescott, who scored a 1st-round KO. His opposition has obviously been a notch above Peterson’s.

Peterson happens to be one of the fair play kind of guys in the sport today. He was gracious before the fight and even more humble and grateful afterwards.

He has had some impressive wins in his career but he has been in with guys like Lanardo Tyner, Victor Ortiz and Timothy Bradley. Bradley beat him in a 12-round decision.

The fight being in Peterson’s home country is a plus for the hometown boxer. So if Peterson lets his hands go and goes for broke, he can score an upset.

Amir has been very confident and is, of course, predicting victory on Saturday night. Peterson, who is not a boastful or brash guy, has high hopes for a victory but is aware that this is the fight of a lifetime for him.

Despite the fact that the smart money is on Khan, but the pressure will be on Lamont as this fight means a lot to his career.
