    Default Lamont Peterson retires

    There was no thread for it but I just watched the Peterson Lipinets match. Peterson did well at the beginning but Lipinets broke him down and stopped him in the tenth. Peterson announced his retirement after the fight.

    Peterson was pretty good but never reached that next level. He was in the pretty good fights too. Oh well. It was probably time for him to retire

    Always liked Lamont. I’m pretty sure he has his witts about aka not punch drunk. I’m sure he did well enough to retire comfortably. Good luck Lamont. Damn it makes me feel old seeing the fighters I’ve followed retire

    Solid fighter who i'll remember for being a drugs cheat, getting a robbery over Khan and flattened by Matthysse. Harsh but true.

    Didn't think he robbed Khan. I just reckon Khan wasn't skilful enough to adapt.

    It wasn’t a robbery, but I thought khan deserved the victory

    Khan was certainly more skillfull than Peterson, the ref was a joke, point deductions and constant warnings, then the "hat man" scoring controversy and to top it all off Peterson got done/admitted cheating with testosterone injections.

    What was his backstory?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He and his brother were left homeless as really young kids, their trainer took them in and became a father figure to them. Liked that they were always soft spoken and nice guys considering what that would’ve turned some people into.

    Good to see him call it a day he was reacting strange and looked like he had a bag of hornets tied over his head by the end. Easy to chalk it up to Lipinets being the better fight and credit due but Petterson had a long run. All things considered he seemed like an over achiever and a guy who often got stuck between styles and tried to bang it out.

    I agree about his style. He seemed like he was a brawler that should have been more of a boxer. He just didn’t have the power or output to bring his style to the elite status. He just lost to Garcia and IMO just lost to khan. He had some close fights but lost his best ones. He beat a few pretty good fighters though.
