GBP getting a strong hold on that 140 pound division.

This probably means we will get an IBF title match between Peterson and Matthysse later in the year.

I wouldent mind that fight. One question though will they let him take his testosterone pellets?

They probably signed him to be their sacrificial lamb.... Hopefully he upsets those plans

NOOOOOO! I think him being a free agent was better, he could work with GBP and TR. I was hoping to see Peterson vs Rios at least. Now there is almost no one for Rios to fight at 140 now. They are all with GB.

Interesting. I think GBP maybe should have waited to see what happens with the Kendall Holt fight. Peterson could lose to Holt. Maybe they feel he'll make money either way.

Yeah also this is possible, but I see Khan getting his rematch first.
