Comments Thread For: Holt Not Worried, Not Thinking About Peterson's PED Past

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kendall Holt has tried not to think about Lamont Peterson’s performance-enhancing drug incident last year while preparing for their title fight Friday night.

The former WBO junior welterweight champion would’ve felt more comfortable if pre-fight, random drug testing was in place leading up to their encounter in Washington, D.C. Since it wasn’t made available and Holt (28-5, 16 KOs) was in no position to turn down a title fight, he’ll head into the ring tonight at the D.C. Armory hopeful that Peterson doesn’t possess any artificial advantage over him.

“Whether he’s on something or not, I can’t worry about that,” Holt said. “[Oscar] De La Hoya beat [Fernando] Vargas and Vargas tested positive after their fight [in September 2002]. Danny Garcia beat Erik Morales [on Oct. 20] and Morales tested positive twice in 10 days.

holt is in an awkward position tonight...he's making just $12,500 in a world title fight against a guy who never even bothered going to a hearing to dispute his PED use...this is a perfect example of having everything to lose and little to gain

that's why I'll be rooting for him

I hope Holt beats the **** out of Peterson.

Surely to God Holt can't be getting paid that little? Either way I hope he beats the testosterone out of Peterson.
