"I spoke to Zab myself I believe about two weeks ago, and he was all on board. It was good talking to him. So far, Zab is the one on the card, and Lamont is just preparing to fight," manager and trainer Barry Hunter said of Peterson, who is 3-0-1 with two knockouts since falling to Tim Bradley by decision in December of 2009. Although Judah has been promoted by Main Events, an agreement has been settled upon that permits Hunter to negotiate directly with the fighter. "Zab is next on the list. He's the next man in line, he deserves the chance, and we're going to give him the chance. Zab and Lamont are friends, and all of us have a family-type of relationship, but at the end of the day, it's business." Peterson has been stripped of the WBA's belt, which he also took from Khan, in the wake of the positive test that forced the cancelation of a scheduled May 19 rematch. Khan was then re-instated as the WBA's beltholder while Peterson was named its "champion in recess." In July, Khan was knocked out in the fourth round by WBC titleholder Danny Garcia, who added THE RING and WBA belts to his repertoire. A Peterson-Judah bout could happen "potentially, in November," said Hunter, adding, "thus far, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it could be in D.C." The ring
Decent fight if it happens. I'm thinking NBC Sports or a similar network. This doesn't seem like HBO or Showtime caliber, considering the already full calendar.
doesn't this just go on the dirrell and gamboa card promoted by tmt. peterson - judah gamboa - tba dirrell - tba at MSG
I'm going with Zab although I won't be surprised is Lamont has a little something extra to pull out the "W".:yep All jokes aside...can't wait for this one.
I find it funny that Zab gets handed title shot after title shot when someone like Lucas Matthyse has to knock out a string of tough opponents simply to win an interim belt. Boxing...
