A SHOCKING! report by Sky Sports has REVEALED! that the MYSTERIOUS! man in a HAT! at the Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson fight CONTROVERSY! was an IBF official - in a HAT! mind you!

[Richard] Schaefer refused to name the man, saying he had been advised not to do so by lawyers, but claimed the footage was "astonishing and shocking".

The Golden Boy chief executive said the man was an IBF official, but not one assigned to the fight and claimed he should not have been ringside.

"The right thing to do is declare a no-contest. There's enough controversy to warrant a no-contest decision. In any case, both governing bodies should order a re-match and the fighters can settle things in the ring."

Astonishing! Shocking! "PLEASE give us a rematch? Please? It looks like Peterson isn't going to give us what we want so could someone make him?" Oh the injustice! Maybe if this doesn't work, Amir can scour the video looking for some other excuse for his 50 shoves and his constant inability to handle pressure.

Lamont Peterson is being considered for a Pacquiao fight and will still have a standing offer of about $1 million (by far a career-best) to fight Khan again if that doesn’t happen, so I’m guessing Lamont Peterson is annoyed by Khan, but overall I don’t think he has a lot to worry himself over right now.

your biggest win being called into question constantly by a bitter man has to be annoying

Annoying, sure – but honestly I don’t think Khan is doing that great a job convincing very many people. He’s taking a lot of heat.

An IBF official ‛who was not assigned to the fight‛

but none of it should matter because Im sure Peterson is a man of his word and will grant Khan a rematch. Hopefully this time neither fighter will have to rely on contenscious point deductions.

Have to say this throws the whole thing into doubt i mean it is a pretty suspicious hat he’s wearing, must be up to no good. Wonder what other shocking revelations will come out as Schaefer P.I. delves further into what i like to call Jr Welter-gate, would have a better ring to it if they moved up a weight class.

I’ve pretty much lost all respect for Khan as a man. So…that’s something.

You had respect for him before?!? You’re a better man than I lol. Seriously Khan reminds me of the kid who keeps telling lie on top of lie…once you’re in that deep, ride it til the wheels fall off. Truly ridiculous but great for a laugh.
