    After the contravercy in the first fight im sure both fighters will 100% ready for this.

    I'm with peterson in a close decision. he knows that khan cannot fight on the inside. he'l be on his chest for the whole night. he'l have more time to prepare this time.

    Opinions ?

    Khan stays at arms length, fights just like he did as an amatuer and takes a UD.

    A much as I want to see these two fight again, I was hoping Peterson wouldn't give khan a rematch. After the disrespect khan showed peterson he doesent deserve it, I also thought khan "doesent do rematches". According to himself...

    After Khan's complaints he really needs a HUGE performance here. If he does hes back on track. If he doesnt improve his inside defense he's in trouble again. Khan builds up an early lead and wins first half of the fight using speed. Peterson gets to him late and Khan picks up a a tight win by a couple of rounds. Could be a great scrap again

    Peterson taking this fight with a full training camp should be confident that he can do the same again but from the 1st bell-he knows he can keep the pressure on, and with the extra fitness he will have i'd be worried that Khan can't handle 12 rounds of this, in saying that Khan could take him out quick aswell.

    The more I think about it the more I think this is a toss up. If Khan is strong and fit and real ready, then he can win on points no matter what LP brings. Close one no matter what. Can LP put on an even better performance? Can Khan take him out, seeing as he had LP hurt on several occasions.

    i think peterson wins it again but the question is will he get the decision if it's close....i doubt it

    then we have to ask can peterson beat him by a wide points margin and the answer ir probably no, considering their close first fight

    i think peterson has a chance of ko'ing khan and he might have to in order to get the win....theres too much money riding on a khan win, pressure will be on the judges. ref etc.

    I think the majority of people want a Peterson win by ko as well

    haha true. people are just sick of his arrogance !

    It will be a close fight, but I honestly think Peterson can take a decision. For all Khan's talk, he must realise that it was a close fight previously, and I'm of the opinion that it could get in his head.

    Peterson to win.

    Peterson will win, Khan genuinely believes he won the first fight easily and I can't see him finding the extra percentage he will need.

    Personally Peterson should have shown Khan the same lack of respect Khan has shown to himself and Prescott

    9/2 still available on Peterson. Khan has convinced the bookies too!
