Anthony Peterson is the perfect example of a mentally broken fighter.
When the Peterson bros were coming up as prospects back around 2006, it was actually Anthony Peterson who received more hype. He was the banger and was seen as the more exciting brother with more potential. Lamont was more of a boxer back then and he wasnt destroying opponents like Anthony did so that was the perception. It’s funny how things turn out.
He was the favorite heading into the Rios fight. Peterson had been on ESPN fnf numerous times up to that point while Rios was fairly unknown.
First live opponent he faced and dude couldnt handle the roughness and the pressure of Rios. He started throwing low blows out of desperation and that was it.
Fkin 7 years has passed since then. It’s crazy how time flies.
Anthony Peterson is done.. if he had the mental toughness and the willingness, he would have done made that comeback years ago. I mean it has been like 7 years since that loss and he still havent recovered. He is done.
