Will Matthysse knock Peterson out?

I don't think he used to gain an advantage but the fact remains that he did use. The funny thing is had he gone the correct route with getting an exemption letter we'd have never heard about it. I'm sure there are fighters now that have an exemption letter to use certain things such as testosterone but we'll never hear about it because they went through the proper channels.Comment

I think its possible with Lucas's body attack he could tire Lamont down and pile it on late on although Peterson winning wouldn't suprise me either.Cant wait for it WAR LUCASComment

I think Matthysse will force a TKO. I think matthysse has decided he is no longer going to leave the decision in the hands of the Judges. He absolutely battered and stopped Olusegun, a guy that was undefeated. Had Soto on the back foot and forced a stoppage and shut down Mike dallas Jr pretty quick. It can be argued that these opponents weren't worldd class but they were credible opponents.
In my opinion only a well skilled boxer will beat the newer Matthysse. Peterson was hurt and rocked by Ortiz and even a guy with not as much power in Khan. IMO Peterson gets stopped by the 6th round. UNLESS he takes to boxing Matthysse and staying on the outside and moving, even then i reckon Matthysse cuts off the ring and closes the show.Comment

It kills me when people say stuff like this. First of all, Peterson does not move like neither one of those guys. Peterson doesn't have the foot speed/movement they have or the hand speed or their defense.Originally posted by The Weebler IIMatthysse didn't knock Zab out but Zab fought very defensively. He didn't knock Alexander out either but that was only a 10 round fight and he is a clincher.
However, Matthysse has won his last 5 fights by stoppage, Peterson stands in front of his opponent, do you think Matthysse will knock him out?
Idk if Matthysse will KO him but Peterson will be hitting the canvas a FEW TIMES.

No he doesn't. A guy who just stands there to be hit with a high guard and no movement is not a good defender.Originally posted by Dominicano SoyQuote:

He was never hurt in any of those knock downs, the knock down against Khan wasn't even a knock down as well. The ones against Ortiz were more him being off balance, those punches were more of a push too. I say no, Peterson goes the distance here, he defends/ recovers well enough.

Matthysse has been much more agressive since the Judy & Alexandra fights, no.1 Judy was his first 12 rounder, so he preserved a lot of energy for later rounds, which he came strong & nearly stopped him. No.2 Alexandra clinches probably over 100 times in a fight, makes him hard to stop.
Matthysse can possiabloy stop Peterson early on, he's prone to being knocked down in the first 3 rounds, I.E vs Bradley, Khan & Ortiz. He isn't a fast starter & Matthysse as of late is.
Peterson has great heart & balls of steel though.
Still this is a 55-45 fight favouring Matthysse IMO.
