Mendoza: Khan deserves rematch over fight scandal

Posted January 06, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Amir Khan,  Lamont Peterson

15
The head of the World Boxing Association says Amir Khan deserves a rematch against Lamont Peterson after fresh questions were raised about the legitimacy of the American's victory in their light-welterweight title fight. The WBA is studying images of an unidentified man accused by Khan of interfering with the judges and leaning over WBA supervisor Michael Welsh during the fight in Washington on Dec. 10. WBA vice president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza says the man in question is unknown to his organization and that ''there were a lot of things that make this fight controversial,'' adding that it would be the ''right decision at the moment'' if a rematch is ordered. Khan lost the fight on a split decision after being docked two points for pushing.

Who's that mystery man? To me he looks like a slightly more bloated version of The Candyman. Could a slightly more bloated version of The Candyman have been trying to make it so Lamont Peterson beat Amir Khan? I guess it just depends on if Khan said the name "Candy-"... Ah, I almost said it a third time. Whew. Good thing I didn't.Anyhow: Strange saga, that. Khan...
