Looking forward to this one. I like Peterson's personal story, seems like a decent guy. For a while I thought
Mattysse was too dirty of a fighter but I think he has cleaned up a bit. My heart will be with Peterson but I think Lucas will prevail. My wife wants me to take her to NYC Saturday, I might have to feign illness.
Granted I've only seen his televised fights which is only like 5 or so but can't say that I've seen lucas be dirty in those.Quote:

He asked for random testing and was told they would be getting it from USADA but it never materialised. Same thing with Paulie asking, being told he was getting USADA and not getting it for the Broner fight. I think GBP just don't trust their boxers to not get caught taking PEDs and fucking up an event/GBP's schedule. The whole random testing thing is just a fucking joke now. Hilariously, Peterson's management are saying they're doing their own random testing to prove he's clean. These are the people who pumped him full of synthetic testosterone. I wonder if he does test positive will they make it public? :)Quote:

Anthony Peterson returns tonight
Damn, I am on my way to NYC, my wife will make me too miserable if I don't take her. At least I will have a nice Peking Duck in the City. My wife understands I need to get back to see the fight. I might miss some of the undercard but should make the main. By the way, I may have a drawing to take a few of you to big fights as I plan on winning PowerShell tonight. Good luck everyone:DQuote:

Cant see it. His title is not even on the line. And btw I buy his explanation as to the previous test. The amounts found were not indicative of a guy cheating but rather using for physical rehab. In fact it was below the accepted amount. Perhaps Lucas is not forcing the issue because he's juicing.Quote:

Show-extreme starting. Anthony Ogogo vs Edgar 'I'm just passing through here' Perez
Barry Tompkins manages to call Ogogo the same as Leonard as far as intangibles are concerned :vd:
Ogogo worked the heavy bag for 6 rounds.
He pushes his punches alot!
Matthysse is as tough as nails and I'd have a hard time betting against him in this fight. Petersen's only chance would be to box his way to a decision, I think. But something tells me it won't go the 12 rounds.
Greco throwing for the fences a bit. Porter looks sharper. Crisper punches.
