Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson Still IBF Champ, Must Face Zab Judah

[Cardinal Buck]

does the IBF have a

"Ped-using" belt now?

i mean really?

a guy is suspsended from fighting and does not defend his championship because he's using drugs and you still let him keep the title?


it must be the work of the mystery man

his influence runs deep!

Testosterone is a hormone. Using it to achieve normal levels is not the same as taking a performance enhancing drug. It's more like a diabetic injecting insulin (also a hormone) to achieve normal levels of insulin in the body. You see the difference?

Another fight Guzman is not getting

[Bee Keepz]

are you still ignoring that fact then?

It useless to argue. Peterson clearly cheated, with the intention of coming in just below the ratio so no red flags will pop up. He never disclosed use of testosterone as necessary for competition.

He's a cheat and should be reprimanded.

Dope azz fight.

This fight fell into TMT lap. they get a good under-card and they are good.

They should put tune up fights for Dirrell and Gamboa on the undercard.

Maybe even Gary Russell vs. Billy Dib.

Endless number of options, assuming Pete can get licensed

Well Peterson did get punished, he missed out on the biggest payday of his career and likely had to pay a small fortune to clear his name, his finances are probably running on E and he is probably living real lean for a champion~ not to mention the damage to his reputation which also has a cost.

If you want more severe punishment that is fine and probably correct, but he did get punished quite a bit.


As for Zab getting another shot this is known, it has been lined up since he mugged Paris who was fairly high ranked. It was part of why I wanted him to get the Garcia fight because he was getting a shot anyways and I think that was a better fight as Garcia should have been in a good spot to add Judah's scalp to his dossier, now Peterson gets that opportunity.

Why don't these dumb people understand that testosterone has a form of catchweight? If you go over it for whatever reason, you're cheating under the rules of the said athletic commission.

[Weebler I]

This is disgusting.

Where's the incentive not to be a dirtbag cheat when they keep letting them away with it?

If the fight goes ahead I hope Zab Judah teaches him a lesson about what it means to participate as a clean fighter.

3.77 is not normal. It was just below a positive, the fact that it was an illegal substance, a synthetic was the issue. Peterson's normal levels were obviously low, so 3.77 is not normal for him.
