Comments Thread For: Peterson Coach: Garcia Rematch Can Happen at 147

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In the immediate aftermath of his disputed victory over Lamont Peterson this past weekend at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, Danny Garcia stated that a rematch between the two would have to take place at 147 pounds. Despite holding major titles as junior welterweights, there was a weight limit of 143 pounds for this contest.

Garcia's demand isn't a problem with Barry Hunter, who trains and manages Peterson, who told BoxingScene.com:

"Lamont and Danny Garcia could fight at ANY weight between 140 and 147 because when you go with the fight and think about it, and again I take nothing away from Garcia...Danny wasn't the judge, Danny fought the best he could. Nevertheless, I think the wrong guy won and if they were to fight again, I think the outcome would be different," Hunter told BoxingScene.

fight will have the same outcome danny would win simple as that I don't think Peterson can run around the second fight he will come forward and get ktfo danny is struggling with weight him at 147 will put him back to beast mode

Peterson and camp, are trying to milk that failed bolo punch for all it's worth. Yes, he did not get knocked out which seemed to be his biggest fear that night, evident in his marathon from 1-6th rounds...But he has to stop acting like winning even 3-4 of the last 6 rounds, is winning the fight. Better luck next time Kid TRT.

Peterson exposed and clowned Garcia. In a rematch he stops him.

He proved he was the better boxer and the more accurate puncher. For those crying about "running" you only prove how one dimensional Garcia is that a guy has to be stationary for him to land anything.

Again when Peterson was boxing (what lames call running) Garcia couldn't do nothing ,didnt land nothing and showed how pathetic his skills at cutting off the ring were.

Garcia was exposed and taken to school.

If Peterson came in at 167lbs with a 143lb limit, what weight would he come in at a 147lb limit?

Only problem with that is Peterson "didn't land nothing" either. It's one thing to box like a Mayweather or Lara, but you're supposed to land good punches too. What did land solid in those rounds was from Garcia.

Huh,outboxing,and making Garcia miss like an idiot is running now? How about when Peterson took the fight to him,and beat his ass from ringpost to ringpost. Face it,Garcia got exposed AGAIN l,and if peterson had started the attack 1 or 2 rounds earlier,he would have iced Garcia. They're probably going to look for rod salka,so gift Garcia can get his peasant confidence back.

Danny n his pops need to hire another good trainer to help Danny with his stamina!! maybe don Felix? as u all know Tito had the best stamina ever!! Also he needs to fight @147!! forget about 140!! another thing he needs to double up on that jab!! also stop the confusion about 140!!!!

thank you ! PED erson looked huge, biggest 140 pounder i have ever seen. I am surprised no one has raised ped questions at him again. Yet he can't run for 7 rounds and expect a win either. However Danny looked awful. If going up 3 pounds will make that much of a difference with him then do it.

I thought IBF was supposed to strip PED erson if he lost. So much for that. Let Peterson fight Herrera. I wouldn't mind seeing that. Garcia needs to be put in with punchers not movers. Love To see Garcia and Provo -Lucas winner.

Would not want to this fight again .. Lamont should be on dancing with the stars .. Can't believe he expected to win like that
