    Lamont's problem is he likes to trade but has no chin. Khan dropped him, Bradley dropped him, Matthysse dropped him 3 times and KO'd him, Ortiz dropped him twice. Danny will eventually catch him.

      That was all early though, within the first 3 rounds. If Lamont makes it out of those early rounds, Garcia isn't stopping him.

        Peterson is a better inside fighter than Herrera, at least when it pertains to having a two handed attack or just plain offense, Herrera is just pretty crafty, knows how to clinch and smother.

          This will be a very competitive fight and unless Danny knocks him out with one of his "I punch with you" counter punches I give Lamont a very good chance to win on points.

            If Peterson doesn't get caught with the GARSH early in the fight I give him a great chance to pull out the upset. He gets strong in the middle rounds and if he is able to get on the inside his going to suffocate Danny. Next two months are packed with good fights, can't wait
