Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson: No Fear of Matthysse, I'll Go Toe To Toe!

[-PBP-]

I'm sure I'm pretty late on this, but what's with the 141 catchweight? so the titles aren't on the line? that is the lamest thing I've ever heard. whoever decided on that is a money grubbing ******* and i hope they lose.

The IBF doesn't recognize unifications with interim titles. So there was no way the fight would have been a unification regardless. So both sides just said, "if he's not putting his title on the line, I'm not putting mine up"

vasily overated on the inside? dude peterson is one of the best body punchers in the sport. he can bring that with both hands.

No! Matthyse is one of the best bodypunchers in boxing...
Petersons hooks are wide and telegraphed with no power.

Peterson is a guy with heart who fights top guys, BUT he ain't very good at anything.
average pressure fighter at best...

This is what its all about. Cant wait for this fight. Winner moves one step closer to landing a shot at Floyd. Loser goes from classy to ashy.

Lamont fought Lucas in the Ams already....so maybe he knows a lil' more about Lucas than the cats who's promoting his punching power...just sayin!!

[flint]

no. its lame. unless some sanctioning body threatened to take someones belt, they get none from me.

well don't give credit thenn and don't watch the fight chump.i'm sure both of them don't know you and could care less.and its going to happen and will be a great one for boxing.

Lucas unless I am mistaken has not been knocked down and he has fought faster and harder hitters than Lamont. On the other hand Peterson has been put down a number of times. If Peterson decides to get in a fire fight I see Lucas knocking him out.

Are you serious? Lamont fought Holt( one punch KO power both hands and fast), Ortiz( heavy handed fighter and southpaw), Khan( fastest hands at 140) compared to Humberto Soto, Olusegun, Dallas Jr, and Judah? Lamont fought the hardest and fastest out of that bunch.

Also, he fought toe to toe with ****ers like Holt and Ortiz but he is in reality is a game-plan fighter. That plan he used with Holt proved efficient, he boxed at a distance watching out for his left hook and pressured later in the fight assuming Holt gasses out and he did.

Cons:Matthysse brings his right hand back very slow which makes him vulnerable suspect-able to counter hooks or lead rights. He does have a solid chin better this his older brother. Leaves his body open for shots when throwing those hard shots. A counter puncher's dream basically.

Pros: He has a very powerful punch, solid chin. Variety of punches in his arsenal. Every fight he seems to develop something new whether it be counters or a lead left uppercut, right hand combo.

So you have to believe he has watched plenty of Lucas tapes and notice he can be out-boxed. Do I believe he will stop or ko Lucas? No, but it will be a very competitive fight. Will He win? Who knows, but you guys need to analyze instead of spewing the same ol' casual fan bs like "He will run like Mayweather" or "He will get ko'd".

Analyze the fight so we can pick apart things we don't usually see and further dissect both fighters to come up with a potential winner.

Its called hyping the fight. Peterson is not going toe to toe.

[Mike_R]

Toe to toe? Sounds great. Matthysse wins via KO 8

[lefthooklead]

Now where did I here that before, oh I remember Mayweather said he was going toe to toe with Robert Guerrero. Come fight night he retracted that statement and instead decided to run track. Peterson jog or run track.

Run track....you mean box and move, hit and not get hit?

Jeeeeeez, what an idiot.

Dude you know your boxing, I must give you props with this response. Also like another poster commented on is that Lamont fought Lucas in the AMS. He knows him, he even said so himself. Remember Lamont is the one who wanted this fight as well. He said it soon after his win over Holt. I really don't understand why people underestimate Lamont. If you have noticed ALOT of boxers give him a lot of respect (Rosado, Garcia, Floyd, Broner). The dude ain't a slouch.

Also those that keep coming back with the Pederson comments really need to do your research about the whole thing. There is a reason why he was allowed to keep his belt, actually the WBA had him as a champ in recess until they reviewed it all. This is a dude who had no big promoter pull and was cleared. Stop being a message board philosopher, **** is almost worst than my barber shop....
