Comments Thread For: Peterson: Rabbit Punches Made Me Upset, Reckless

He won that first round pretty easily then all of a sudden he started coming forward and going inside. You have to be INCREDIBLY DISCIPLINED to beat someone like Matthysse.

So as a professional boxer, you stated that rabbit punches took you out of your game plan? That what separates the elite fighter from b-, c+ fighters.

How many times has Money been hit with rabbit punches and never deviated from his game plan...obviously Havoc is not a elite fighter if he allowed the Machine rabbit punches to change his game plan.

That is what an elite fighter does to b, c level fighters, do something in the ring to disrupt his opponent game plan. I'm not saying that the Machine is elite, but he's is well on his way.

Pederson was hurt with a right before the left hook that put him down the first time. that was the punch he never recovered from

Yup that punch took the spring out of his legs. I do not believe he got his legs back after that.

That's his own fault for tying up and leaving Matthysse no other choice but to use his free hand on your head turning the opposite way. Even the ref told him when he complained; Hey its your fault for holding, quit holding!

Peterson clearly lost the 1st round. Lucas landed 3 good body shots and that hard left hook. Peterson landed nothing but maybe 2 glancing jabs

Don't hold and you wont be hit. Garcia may be tougher but the only question is if Garcia doesn't fold, can there be enough time for him to land his haymakers against Lucas and if he does, how does Lucas respond.

Agreed

Lucas was putting the hurt on Lamont with what looked to be grazing shots. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hit him flush with those shots.

lol @ people trying to justify throwing rabbit punches.

Matthysse landed 4 in a row in the 2nd and since everyone is in awe with his power why would you expect Peterson not to be affected?

Moot point though, Matthyse would have floored him eventually.

From what I remember Lucas didn't land anything clean and was getting box'd pretty nicely. I will have to watch it again though. I am pretty sure he lost that 1st but I could be wrong.
