Great card for FNF, I can't see Holt having much of a shot at winning, but who knows. I look forward to it.

I still can't quite understand how Peterson remained IBF Champion. He admitted to using PEDs before the Khan fight, and yet, the fight wasn't changed to a No Contest and he kept the IBF title. Corrupt doesn't even begin to describe that scenario. It is baffling.

It is BS. What kind of message does that send. Used to have a bit of time for Peterson but now I would not be surprised if Khan got himself into the mandatory position then Peterson would Welch on fighting him.

It should be a decent fight for sure. I think if Peterson beats Holt then bring on Garcia and Holt should fight Judah if he loses.

No offense but that's how urban legend is perpetuated. I'm not blaming you to be clear. He admitted to taking roids for an injury and when the results came back the ratio was far below what the sport allows for injury rehab. They are allowed and are the difference between off for 1 year and off for 4 months. The sport allows it for rehabilitation with stated parameters. He tested below the allowance. The Ibf accepted the documentation that was everywhere at the time and the Wba did not because science is not relevant where unification is concerned.

I see what you're saying, but I find it hard to believe this was based on an injury. That was the performance of his career. Before this, he looked like giving up in fights because he wasn't on that elite level then all of a sudden he finds this ability to comeback and put on a career best performance. Before the Cayo fight he was talking retirement. I just didn't buy this as an excuse.

PEDerson fighting again?

Hope this fraud gets KTFO
