It’s no Bet Online scam to see that Amir Khan is such a massive favorite in this December title defense against Lamont Peterson in Washington, D.C., as the British 140-pound champion will put his WBA Super and IBF Light Welterweight belts on the line while looking to extend an eight-match winning streak.
Khan Peterson Odds – Saturday, 9:30 PM ET
Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) put in a dominant performance against Zab Judah in July in Las Vegas, stopping Judah in the fifth round with a vicious body shot, and pay per head sportsbook players should expect the “King” to roll in this contest as it seems the only thing in his way for this fight is a possible distraction. Khan has said recently that he believes friend and stablemate Manny
Pacquiao should retire after his controversial decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez, and he has also made it know that he wants to move up to 147 pounds, where the lucrative fights are.
This could be the perfect time for Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KO) to sneak a victory as he is no slouch, drawing with Victor Ortiz last December, followed by a 12th-round knockout of Victor Cayo in July. He’s a tough customer and he’s quick, although we don’t think he’s as quick as Khan.
“King” is favored at -1100 to retain his title and put his name on the map in the American boxing scene as he looks towards green pastures, and the way to do that is an exciting performance. Lay a sports bet on Amir Khan for this one.
