Comments Thread For: Peterson Says Layoff Will Not Be a Factor Against Holt

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WASHINGTON - Lamont Peterson, who is finally set to defend the title he took from Britain's Amir Khan in controversial fashion 14 months ago, says his long layoff will not be a problem against Kendall Holt next week.

Peterson won a controversial split decision over Khan in Washington, and his World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation junior welterweight titles, after the Englishman was twice penalised a point for pushing. A planned rematch last May was called off after Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone.

The WBA restored its crown to Khan but the IBF accepted an appeal by Peterson.

Will the lack of steroids be a factor?

Go take some roids', roid fraud

If Peterson loses will that push Amir Khan's stock down even further?

Holt can't handle pressure, maybe Peterson looks vulnerable early due to the rust but he should win this very easily, don't really care for this match up too. Just want to see the top 140s fight each other.

Holt will be just as rusty as Peterson, so they'll cancel each other out in that regard.

Would he be fighting with his PED? or whatever he has in his body? I mean they were suppose to be something for him to "Level the playing field" according to him and his trainer.

Not a big Peterson fan. I think he'll likely beat Holt, but Holt always has a puncher's chance. Mike Jones repeat?
