Is Lamont Peterson being overlooked?

[Santa_]

This is going to be a great fight. They both struggle a lot to make 140.

143 benefits both of them. Should be a WAR

Garcia by late round KO.

Not really, I'm sure this is the perfect opponent for Garcia at this point, not a power puncher and every big fight he had, he loses (forget the Khan fight, it was in his hometown and there was some shady stuff going on with ref and some mysterious guy ringside). Garcia will win and look good in the process, all of these PBC are careful match making, low risk (smaller, older, slower and less skill), high reward (big payday, low risk of loss or damage). Look at all the match ups so far, they look okay on paper, but Thurman vs Guerrero, Broner vs Molina and Berto vs Lopez. Stevenson defending the 175 crown against a 168 fighter who has 6 losses and a couple of draws.

Peterson will come to fight, but Garcia will win.

You're the first guy that seems to think Lamont has no chance. Peterson has a great chance of winning this with his inside fight game but I'm riding with Danny.

[Foreign Soil]

Nope. Come forward fighter without a punch nor much of a chin and doesn't have the inside boxing ability of Herrera. I don't see how anyone could possibly pick Pederson to win.

[Hayehammer]

if lamont keeps a high guard to protect from the left hooks he will win.
Garcia gonna piss blood for a week IMO

[Boxfan83]

If no one has realized, Garcia cant fight guys with a good Jab. Morales was tagging him with it and thats how Herrera set up all his punches because Danny goes straight back. Now peterson does have an awesome jab, hes just mentally weak and gets tricked into trading and thats how Danny will beat him. But he is a live dog and if he comes to box, Garcia could lose the 143lb title (lol)

[DoktorSleepless]

Peterson is going to tap that ass.

Lol...since when is Pederson some kind of wrecking machine?

Peterson will have to KO Garcia to win. I suspect he will start slow but by round 3, the fight will be an inside war of attrition. Peterson takes the lead and should have it by 3 or 4 rounds when the final bell rings. Unfortunately, Garcia is the hype fighter in this one and will be given all the rounds in a disgusting display of judging that leaves many people upset.

Tough fight for Danny Swift will have to be on his A game.
