Thread: Weres The Anthony Peterson Love One more win and hes got himself a title shot?

He is a beast and I think can be compared to pretty boy mayweather. His hand speed is insane and he can punch as well. Any love? Id like to see him fight the winner of the Nate Campbell fight if he wins here tonight. Thoughts

I meant were mayweather was in this stage of his career. Anthony is real young and is still growing as a fighter.

He's got a good opponent in Jauregi, he is a crafty old vet . either Athony just out quicks him all night, or Jauregi can make it interesting with his counterpunching, and defense. If he knocks out Jauregi then mad props to him.

I wish it was televised tonight but I assume HBO will just show Zab-Clottey

Or I guess they could be showing Cotto-Marg

Anyway I'm a big fan, have been for a long time. They've really moved him slowly but then again so did Pavlik until the Miranda fight.

Anybody see the fight?

Jauregui's old but always a crafty guy and he did beat Huerta recently.

I wasnt overly impressed with Peterson TBH. I know Jareguie is a durable guy and doesnt get stopped cuz Ive seen him b4 but Peterson apart from the last round didnt ever seem to have him in any bother. The wide scores are impressive but were expected. Jauregi gave it a go and hasnt fully fallen into journeymen mode yet but on the whole I'd have liked to have seen more from Peterson if he is to be the next Pretty boy .

I dont know what it is about Peterson,just seems unable/ unwilling to take that next huge step.Seems content to just "look" good in bop bop boxing mode all night long.Needs to go beyond himself.
