I'd be interested in a Garcia/Peterson fight regardless though.
What was up with that anyways? At first I figured it was Peterson asking for a safety net, but then people started saying it was Matthysse who wanted it cause should he win the IBF title he wouldn't be in position to get a shot at Danny (which sounds preposterous to me, but with boxing and its dumbass politics, who knows).

No rematch anytime soon, as Matthysse is out for a year with the broken orbital bone. And he knows he shouldnt be fighting the man that broke it until it properly heals. Now we know his power doesnt affect Garcia like people thought it would, so he's gonna be in for another grueling fight so that is gonna probably happen at 147

If Matthysse lost he would lose his interim strap and if he won he would have lost it regardless and became the IBF champ. So Peterson was basically like "if his strap isn't on the line then I'm not putting mine up either."
