Yeah the Peterson's looked good in their fights... i was impressed by both of them.. they need to take it to the next level though... Anthony has got some serious Power!!! waiting to see who he fights next... Zahir R. or Nate C. would be awesome fights... 8)
Campbell is the much better pick. I don't think Zahir could make another televised fight worth watching.
Maybe not worth watching but he could still win regardless.Quote:

If Peterson fought a bit more, learned to create a bit more space on the inside for his punching and how to defend against someone who clinches, then he would have a chance.Quote:

Raheem doesn't punch on the inside.
I love watching them fight. So smooth, especially Lamont, but Anthony too. Sometimes I think cause he's the power puncher of the two people disregard the fact that he's a skilled fighter, very tight punches and doesn't get hit much more than Lamont really. Too bad Lamont doesn't have a big punch but he's great to watch anyway. They do fall in love with the left hook a bit too much maybe but they both have good ones. Could jab more.
To me Anthony Peterson-Juan Diaz is a fascinating fight. Not yet, he should step up more before he fights Diaz but the styles should make for a great action fight. The way Diaz comes forward, and Peterson covers up and rips hooks and uppercuts, should be great to watch if it ever happens.
I think Peterson became Diaz' IBF mandatory with that win. I think so anyways. And I love watching them fight too, I think they were well matched that night. Anthony still falls in a bit, those hooks of Diaz would cause him problems. I think though that within the next year both are champs at each division.Quote:

I loved when Jose would clinch and Anthony would get mad. Just cracked me up, God help if he ever fights Raheem :D
I like both guys, I think Campbell cleans Anthony up though. Lamont has got some mad skills maybe my favorite of the 2 brothers. But you gotta love Anthony's power!
