    Curious to see what ESB'ers have to say about the Peterson brothers, undefeated Lamont and Anthony.

    Anthony looks good, real talented but still some things to iron out with experience. Have some concerns about his chin though. And the noise he makes when he punches is a bit annoying. Reminds me of Sharpova or something.
    Havent seen the other one.

    I'm impressed with both of them , Anthony seems the more crowd pleasing but they are both fine fighters. Luckily they show the espn fights over here in the UK ( a week or so late ) so I've seen both of them a few times. IMO they will both win at least versions of the title

    Fun to watch. Good for the sport. Plus they're American. God Bless America.

    Both of them are pretty good. Each one have his own style, Anthony is a pretty good brawler with a good defensive ability whilst Lamont is the more technical with his impressive defensive style.
    Both shall get their title fight pretty soon. I would say next year.

    What concerns you about his chin? I've never seen him get wobbled or even visibly hurt.

    Im a brit ( obviously ) and I reckon Antrhony would destroy Amir Khan. His infighting looked really good !

    As I said they are concerns, I may be just overreacting to some observations.

    Im just not to sure yet if his whiskers are 100% solid.

    Its just he likes to be in the drivers seat and there have been times when he got hit back he went a little more defensive than I though he would. Just because he isnt getting clearly wobbled now doesnt mean his chin might be exposed later, especially with the guys he has fought up to now.

    I hoped to be proved wrong because except for his annoying grunting I really like seeing the kid fight.

    Really looking forward to Anthony's progression in the next couple of years. Seems to have good stamina, and is a very heavy handed body puncher.

    Both are promoted with Top Rank now & will be brought along well.

    Anthony seems almost ready for a top 10er at Lightweight, whereas i would like see Lamont take at least a couple more tough fringe contenders that can take u some rounds, like Top Rank are doing with him vs Henry Bruseles.
