You said Matthysse hits too hard and Petersons defense isnt good enough to get away frim the killer that Lucas is. You stumped me bro i got nothing to say to that, please enlighten us more
The left hook is a good punch to use in inside exchanges in general, and Peterson has a good one. But I completely have to disagree with you on Mathysse's head movement and Peterson's jab. Rewatching rounds 3 and 4, I’ve made note of every instance where Peterson’s low left hand opened up an opportunity for Holt to land with his straight right up top (which he sometimes landed and sometimes just fell short with): 12:22 (rolls with it), 13:00, 14:54, 15:06, 15:14, 15:20, 15:29, 16:41, 16:58 [yt]V-CW6x4IoZs[/yt] Matthysse uses good subtle head movement on the inside, as he showed against Soto, and at mid-range trying to close the distance on his opponents. Slipping the left to land a right is something Mathysse does very well, sharper and harder than Holt does at this stage. This content is protected Peterson’s jab is good when it lands, but it leaves a gap upon returning. It happened so many times so close together, and Peterson seems in trouble whenever his opponent controls the center of a ring instead of him (Khan). Ad******g by pushing Mathysse back to control the center while avoiding severe punishment looks to be a hard task. This one observation may not determine the fight, it’s just one aspect of the match-up, but you can be sure that it is a liability against someone as dangerously powerful as Matthysse.
Wasent Peterson hurt like 4 plus times vs Bradley ? So I think Matthysse has a pretty good chance then :deal
Lets talk resumes. If people wanna say mattysse lost to Judah and Alexander then it's fair to say Peterson lost to Kahn and Ortiz aswell. Kendall holt coming off a year and a half layoff is no more of a quality win then mike Dallas on mattysses resume.
peterson by ud is smart betting money. lucas is a formidable challenge but thats about it. he had a better chance against judah garcia winner.
