Timothy Bradley, in his recent interview, expressed his views regarding Khan vs. Peterson II, saying, “You don't get a rematch by crying and all that, man. Peterson told him (Amir Khan) he was giving him a rematch right after the fight. He should have let
his people handle it instead of all that bull. Lamont Peterson is a tough, tough, dude. He's going take it to Khan right from jump. This time Khan is going to get destroyed. Lamont is going to go hard to Khan's body. I hope he's (Khan) on his abs already.
I mean, I hope he's on the Ab Roller or Ab Master or one of those ab machines because he's definitely going to need it.”
Timothy Bradley is an unbeaten American pugilist with 28 wins, 0 losses and 12 knockouts in his portfolio. Right now, he is considered among which is why he has been set to face Manny Pacquiao ‘the pound-for-pound king’. On the other hand, Amir Khan has
bagged 26 wins, 2 losses and 18 knockouts to date, whereas his upcoming opponent Peterson has 30 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie and 15 knockouts to date.
Khan and Peterson first collided in December when Khan lost to Peterson. Lamont became the unified IBF and WBC super lightweight champion by defeating Khan. The decision was taken up by Khan as an unjust one and he filed an appeal with the IBF for the same.
According to Khan, the two points deducted from his score at the end of the fight by the referee was unjust. The IBF found some irregularities in the fight as well and ordered an immediate rematch. Both the fighters decided to go one on one on May 19 at a
neutral venue, since their last venue was Peterson’s hometown Washington D.C.
This fight is an important one for Khan, if he loses it he will lose all the respect and fame he has achieved throughout his career, since he has made it so big.
