Comments Thread For: Jean Vows To Snatch Lamont Peterson's Belt To Quebec

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF light-welterweight champion Lamont Peterson has vowed to put on a show when he faces challenger Dierry Jean on January 25.

Peterson, 29, will have the backing of a partisan home crowd at the DC Armory in Washington as he takes on unbeaten Quebec fighter Jean (25-0 17KOs).

He won the title off Briton Amir Khan in December 2011 by split decision, but was stripped of the WBA version after failing a drugs test.

Look, this is easy to explain.

If people watch the WWE wrestling, they know that the champion participates in a lot of non-title matches and loses them but not the belt, therefore he is still the champion.

You explain it that way and it makes sense.

Look forward to seeing Petey back in action. I'd love to see him and Garcia mix em up! Or maybe Broner will move down to 140 and go for that IBF strap. Plenty of good options out there.
