What's next for Peterson/Fortuna? Both are being sacrificed to far superior fighters tonight and to be honest, I have a hard time imagining how neither will come back this... It's kinda sad. I liked Peterson, cool guy, but this is gonna be an absolute slaughter...

Depends on how well they fight, and the types of fights each guy is willing to take, tbh.
If Lamont Peterson gives a good account of himself (fights well, possibly makes it to the final bell, but likely succumbs late), he likely ends up positioned as the "gatekeeper" for the PBC welterweight fighters before mixing at the top level (Thurman, Spence, Garcia, Porter, Khan, Vargas).
Omar Figueroa Jr, Jamal James, Taras Shelestyuk, Bryant Perrella, Jamontay Clark, Ivan Goloub, etc will all need fights as they get near breaking through to the top level, and Lamont Peterson is still good enough to be favored to beat the lot of them.
He'd likely be a fight or two away from getting another shot at that top mix, but Peterson versus the list mentioned is basically good enough to headline shows for FOX or co-feature for shows on Showtime.
