    Does Lamont Peterson have the skills to move and box on the outside to outpoint Danny Garcia?

    Has Peterson ever showed the ability to stay out of range and pick off his opponent?

    or is it a given he just comes forward, applies pressure and gets beat up?

    Not beyond the bounds of possibility.

    Think people are underestimating Peterson a little bit.

    He got caught be Matthyse, plenty of guys would get KO'd in the same situation. Peterson is still a world class boxer

    That's his only chance I guess. He'll probably get roughed up and lose by clear UD or TKO

    i like danny but lamont has a real chance.

    as long as lamont dont get clipped by a left hook early but lamont is good at defense so u might hit him with it a couple times then he will adjust but danny does the exact same thing ... but ill still side with garcia on this one but lamont can get the job done. especially the way danny looked ve herrera due to him stickin around at 140 to long both these guys shoulda move up to 147 for this fight.

    is this fight a catch weight it seems like it would be

    Lamont can absolutely outbox Danny, I think Danny is the legit real deal at the weight but he can be outboxed. I mean Kendall Holt boxed Danny to a standstill. And Herrera was very unlucky to get the decision. Lamont's skillset is comparable to both (actually a little higher). Will Lamont box the entire night? Doubtful.

    Incidentally, Lamont stopped Holt where Danny went to SD with him

    We all need to pick Peterson to win! Garcia seems to only do well when he's the underdog :bbb

    This is a very hard fight to judge. I'm leaning towards Garcia. I think that he might be the smarter fighter and win a UD.
