Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson: Who Cares About The Matthysse Loss?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Lamont Peterson responds as aggressively in the ring against Dierry Jean as he did during a conference call to promote their fight Thursday, he’ll probably bounce back well from the first knockout defeat of his career.

Peterson hasn’t fought since Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse knocked him out in the third round of their May 18 fight in Atlantic City. He’ll defend the IBF junior welterweight title he holds despite the Matthysse loss against Montreal’s Jean on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C., Peterson’s hometown.

He says "who cares?" a little too much, which makes me wonder if he does care, but he's right. You move on, keep trying to improve, and come back from it.

Belts do matter to fighters like Peterson though. That's the only leverage some fighters can have.

pretty much.... after that... it'll only take a loss or two to become a building block

well said Lamont even though I am not a fan there is nothing you can do to change the past . He still has alot more money then any of us and i wouldnt mind being knocked out just to see half of what he made

[Nightfall]

He took his loss like a man and has moved on. Good luck going forward champ
