    Lamont is looking damn confident, future HOF against someone on the comeup, IBF champion (Also future HOF).

    Errol Spence seems too big for peterson. Errol should win in reality. But if peterson can stay off those ropes and manage the distance right, he has a good chance of winning. Tough ask though. If he gets stuck on those ropes and errol gets those body combos off, peterson is in deep, deep trouble. Errol should win but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes the distance and peterson gets a points win.

    Well im looking forward to it. I cant say i agree its a 50-50 fight Spence should and im sure will win this one comfortabaly but Peterson is solid, good and game. Also Spence likes to go get stuck in at times when he really doesnt need to, which is good for us.

    Good fight I am also looking forward to seeing Easter Fortuna should be decent.

    A tasty matchup indeed. Young Errol, how can you not like this kid.

    If you are a fan of GGG you got no excuse not to like this guy. Seek and destroy, well spoken, out to entertain. I will be tuning in.

    Hopefully the Lamont that fought Garcia comes in and not the one that struggled against Matthysse.
    Easter should do well cleaning up a Mayweather Promotons fighter. After this it's back to the Sam's Town Casino ballroom for Fortuna.

    The fight is nothing more than a tune up for Spence. 4 rounds.

    Leaning towards the favorite, Spence but styles make fights and Peterson has a styles advantage in my opinion. His inside game and experience might be enough to pull off the upset. I just feel Spence will catch Lamont with a power shot down the stretch that changes the dynamics of the fight. The left hook of Spence is devastating and he can land that to the body or head which could shut Peterson down. I do believe Peterson will be holding a lead before Errol gets him out of there. If it happens to go 12....I could see Peterson winning a decision

    Peterson did not struggle with Matthysse. He got obliterated which is way different. There’s levels to this and words really do matter.

    Peterson is huge.. He was a middle weight against Garcia when they fought at 142.

    Ok fight. Spence should be the clear favourite. I kind of feel it may be a mismatch.
