Danny Garcia-Lamont Peterson Set For April 11th

Haa. My thoughts exactly.

People are going to hate on Danny regardless of what he does.

This is a great fight, despite the naysayers. You got the champ at 140 fighting the 3rd best fighter at 140, and the champ already beat the 2nd best fighter at 140....there's not a better fight to make within the division.

 

Good fight and it's about time.

I see Peterson taking it. I don't think Fanny's gonna be able to KO him just because Matthysse is a beast. And Peterson brings a better pressure game than Herrera.

 

Danny G is fighting the IBF Champion Lamont Peterson and this is considered cherry picking fighting for a title belt. Damn.

HATERS GONE HATE:-(

 

I told everyone it would be a card stacked with mismatches I'd like to stop and take time to thank Al Haymon

 

mediocre fights. why is broner fighting a guy coming off two devastating losses? why is danny continuing to avoid a herrera rematch? can't believe the winner of danny vs lamont will be the unified WBA super, WBC, IBF, and ring champ. it's a complete joke. peterson was Knocked out by Lucas in 3 rds

 

Another great match up, can't wait!

 

Yes they are, it's comical!

 

These are the kind of fights that should have happened but Haymon don't like risks

Matthysse vs Garcia 2
Matthysse vs Broner
Garcia vs Herrera 2
Thurman vs Brook
Thurman vs Khan

 

If my memory serves me correclty The machine was discombobulated and kTFO. In that order.

 

Shut up troll, he already spanked Lucas and left him with one eye AND TOOK HIS BEST PUNCH AND SMILED!! Get over it :good

 

He's still a top 10 fighter at 140...is he not?? so you dont want top 10 match ups?? WTF DO YOU WANT?? winner has 3 titles and makes Crawford match up in the summer!!

 

How you gonna say he doesnt like the risk?? hes already made Garcia-matthysse clown!! he made Broner-Maidana, did you forget it already??

All you ppl that hated on Haymon was ridiciclous! he made some good match ups last year and is making the biggest match up possibly in boxing history with Mayweather-Pacquiao but hes runing the sport???? right....nono

 

Looking back on it, Peterson doesn't really have a legit big win.

Loss to Bradley.
Should have lost to Ortiz (lucky to get a draw there if I remember correctly)
KO'd early by Matthysse.
Close fight vs Khan but ref/judges helped in that case and he was caught on steroids for that fight.

He just isn't that good. His best win was probably over old Holt or Dierry Jean.


Still, it was a logical fight to make and although I'm not a big Garcia fan, it'll be nice to see Peterson title-less.
