Lamont Peterson - A disgrace to the sport

This content is protected

 

I believe there’s some confirmation biased going for those that believe there’s a significant amount of double standards. I don’t label Kell and Lamont as quitters so that clears up that mystery.

 

But most label the fore mentioned a quitter
And the latter a warrior
Its confusing to say the least

 

Obviously Brook got more heat than Peterson, it was a much higher profile fight that fans spent months debating beforehand. No rational fan would blame either for quitting, I think you need to get that chip off your shoulder.

 

The point of the post is redundant, and was made in a childish and antagonistic manner.

 

Some of you all are blood thirsty armchair pussies. Why would you want to see a guy seriously hurt in the ring, when it's clear he had no chance to win, and was only a punching bag? One punch can end someone's life, or leave them severely handicapped for the rest of their lives, and Peterson was in there with a real banger. Sure Brook quit, but I don't fault Brook, he had his eyesight to worry about, and his focus was broken, putting him in even more danger.

 

Wow is this what we’ve come to in boxing,if it isn’t looking good you quit?
Brook gave his all and won rounds before taking a knee in the 11th big difference imo

 

PEDerson pretty much asked for the fight to be stopped.

 

Lamont is probably finished now. TS has a point about double standards and patriotism depending on where a fighter comes from and how much they're criticized but that's just the way it is.

 

We get it. You are from the UK and despise fighters from outside of your home.
Like I said in the AJ/Parker thread, you haven't boxed a day in your life.

To have never boxed and call a fighter a 'disgrace' because they were stopped is disgusting in itself.
It's people like you that should need to pass a test before you are eligible to post on this forum.

You're absolutely right Caper, it's disgusting.
OOAC is simply a UK fanboy. Check his post history, the lack of boxing knowledge is unreal.

Please

You are the load your mother should have swallowed, kid.

 

I was in fact talking about the G fight, but still, who jumps up 2 weight classes, takes on the big beast of that division, sustains a serious injury, drops back down and takes on the big beast of that division in his very next fight? He still shouldn't get critisized because he got the same injury, so the same logic should apply. To questions Brook's heart is simply ignorant! Dude has heart and great belief in his abilities.

 

interesting post. i agree that petersons psyche was going through some serious drama, never in his mind had he imagined being on the business end of a beating like this, and it was only going to get worse. he was a whipped dog at that point.

 

It was too surreal for Lamont to comprehend which is why it separates itself from any other loss he’s experienced. Not taking anything away from Lucas’s massacre on his chin but this was leagues different because from a strategic standpoint it seemed as if even the perfect blue print would fail to slow down the train that was Spence last night.

 

I believe Peterson gets criticized because he talked a lot before the fight (about if needed going out on his shield ) and because he always prided himself about being a warrior.

I do believe his corner spared him a beating, which is smart, but Lamont needs to show some modesty.

Gatti, Ward, Rocky, Morales he ain't.
