Peterson Dethrones Khan!

Posted in 2011, Boxing News, From Fightnews.com on December 11, 2011 by Champ

By Billy “Loops” Luppert at ringside, From Fightnews.com

WBA/IBF jr welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) was dethroned by IBF #1 Lamont Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KOs) in a controversial split decision on Saturday night before a partisan crowd in Peterson’s hometown of Washington DC. Khan dropped Peterson in round one but Peterson got back into the fight with a good round three. Khan adjusted his tactics and had success moving and flurrying. Khan was deducted a point by referee Joe Cooper for pushing in round seven. Close rounds down the stretch. Another point deducted from Khan for pushing in round twelve. Scores were 113-112, 113-112 Peterson, 114-111 Khan.

Lamont Peterson’s brother Anthony (31-1, 20KO’s) scored a one-sided decision over faded former title challenger Daniel Attah (26-9-1, 9KO’s) over 8 rounds. All 3 judges scored the bout a shutout for Peterson at 80-72. Attah had no answer for the crisp combinations that Peterson unloaded on him over the duration of the fight, but showed a lot of heart as he was able to hang in for 8 rounds, but had no answer for anything Peterson threw at him.

Bobby Bryant Decisions

Posted in 2011, Boxing News with tags , , on November 8, 2011 by Champ

Decisions Felix, 60-53

In the main event of a card billed as “Lucky 7s”, November 3, at the Rayne Civic Center (Rayne, LA), 11-0 Bobby Bryant of Memphis, TN, defeated Jose Felix (10-9).

Half way through round one, Bryant caught Felix with a clean left hook to the liver and dropped him to his knees. Although he looked as if he would not make the count, Felix did rise at the count of eight to weather the storm, putting up a great fight.

A head butt opened a small cut up on Bryant in round four which seemed to really step things up. Bryant cranked up the heat in round five, when he cut Felix across the bridge of his nose and sent him reeling to the ropes after a series of body shots. Midway through round six it seemed as if Referee Rick Exe would stop the fight but Felix managed to hold on for the last few seconds of the round.

Bryant wins via UD. All 3 judges saw the bout the same, 60-53 .
