Errol Spence Drops, Beats Down Lamont Peterson For TKO Win

•Jan 20, 2018

By Keith Idec - NEW YORK – “The Truth” hurts. Just ask Lamont Peterson. Errol Spence Jr. displayed the power and skill that have made him one of the best boxers in the sport, and stopped Peterson after seven one-sided rounds Saturday night at Barclays Center. The younger, stronger Spence was entirely too much for the former two-division champion while making the first defense of the IBF welterweight title he won from Kell Brook in his previous fight.

Big time boxing is back on US airwaves in the US. We were supposed to have two title bouts on Showtime Saturday night (9 PM EST/6 PM PST). Only three of the combatants showed up to be champions. After having lost a 130 lb. title in June 2016, and easily clearing the 135 lb. limit at lightweight in four fights since (including a fight in September), Javier Fortuna somehow showed up on the scale almost two pounds over the limit. He could only shed a half-pound more on another try so his title shot is no more.
