Lamont Peterson provides as many questions as answers

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Maybe Lamont Peterson really believes it. To be sure, his pointed answers to the obvious questions would have one think he’s put what happened the last time he got into a professional boxing ring – a devastating three-round loss to Lucas Matthysse in which he was bounced off the canvas three times – in the rear-view mirror. “Getting over the loss? That happened in one day,” he said. “Who cares about the knockout? It's part of boxing. That's what happens. You pick yourself up and you move on. At this point, it's in the past. Who cares? As a fighter, you have to block that out and you keep moving. As far as me moving on, I'm a fighter. I train hard, give it my all and we go out there and we fight. It's always going to be the same with me. Who cares about what happened in last fight?”

If Lamont Peterson responds as aggressively in the ring against Dierry Jean as he did during a conference call to promote their fight Thursday, he’ll probably bounce back well from the first knockout defeat of his career. Peterson hasn’t fought since Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse knocked him out in the third round of their May 18 fight in Atlantic City. He’ll defend the IBF junior welterweight title he holds despite the Matthysse loss against Montreal’s Jean on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C., Peterson’s hometown.
