Comments Thread For: Edwin Valero-Lamont Peterson is in The Works

[Siggy]

Yup, good old Bob is getting worse with age.

thas the fight that needs to happen. Id love to see petterson at his best but after losing to bradely he has something to prove again. how tall is valero 5 5? pettersons like 6 even?

peterson isnt a huge JWW, but he's got very good length. he'll have at least a 5" reach advantage.
demarco was taller than peterson, but peterson has a much better jab and much quicker hands.

lets call the ambulance already.

¿What about Anthony Peterson?

¿What's going on with Anthony Peterson?(Lamont's brother)He's the #1 contender for Valero's 135lbs WBC belt & he hasn't been mentioned at all during this whole mess of Valero moving up & Sulaiman looking to put 2 other guys to fight for Valero's belt(at 135).....If Valero is moving up or what ever the case is & if anybody is fighting for Valero's belt or a worthless carbon copy(interim belt) they should include Anthony Peterson & not bump him off like Sulaiman is trying to do..

According to Lem Satterfield of AOL's FanHouse, WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero (27-0, 27KOs) could move up to junior welterweight for a fight with Lamont Peterson in June or July. Peterson (27-1, 13 KOs) has only one loss on his record, which came by decision to WBO champion Timothy Bradley. Top Rank's Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters, is looking at putting the fight together in the summer. [Click Here To Read More]

Reallly???? valero vs peterson is on??? this will be a mint fight.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

This is a good fight For Valero.

What they seem to be doing ith Valero is putting him wit different styles, so when teh time comes he is ready for anything and everything in the ring.


If Lamont fights anything like he did againts Bradley he gets falttend. If he uses his angles, jab and movement he can extend the fight and even make it a close descicion!!!

[ИATAS]

this is a good fight for valero, although pretty risky. But imo it's much better to at least test the waters @ 140 rather than going straight to the top.

[nikeboix69]

So Arum was just being his usual full of **** self when he threw out the notion of Valero-Bradley. What a ****in *****.

This might be true, but I really want to see Pacquiao vs. Valero one day!!!!! They have taken two different roads in their careers, hopefully Valero can build up his notoriety. Sure a win against Bradley would be a better win than against Peterson, but even Pacquiao tip toe'd a belt in the lightweight division.

[Lucky Luciano]

UH...I actually think this is a pick'ems fight. Peterson can fight inside and box.

Valero's 5'7", fairly good for a LWW.
