Jean is a solid fight for Peterso
I was with Lanardo Tyner whom was not at his best weight or condition when he fought Jean but what I did witness is a very skillful boxer who has a few more options than Peterson. Styles make fights and Jean will be first, to quick, and have to many combinations for the slow starting Peterson. If Peterson lose this one, he's done! Peterson has to hurt Jean or else I can't see him winning a decision. The title is going to Montreal with Adonis who is a product of Detroit as well.
