:pimp2: A rare title fight on FNF, that should be worth a look.
Feb. 22
At Washington, D.C. (ESPN2/ESPN Deportes): Lamont Peterson vs. Kendall Holt, 12 rounds, for Peterson's IBF junior welterweight title; Roman Morales vs. Jesus Hernandez, 8 rounds, junior featherweights; David Grayton vs. TBA, 4 rounds, welterweights; Danny Kelly vs. Donnie Crawford, 4 rounds, heavyweights.
I'll take Lamont Peterson by a 12 round decision.
Peterson should not even be a belt holder. Not one iota of recalcitrance for his deceit. One half of me hopes Holt smokes him and the other hopes he keeps his trinket so that Khan has the opportunity to take it back off him.
Really looking forward to covering this fight, Please guys send in your scores for this one on the RBR thread and if you are twitter please send your score to @thefightscore and i will add it to my fightscorecollector site (in the signature below)
Khan want the Garcia rematch. But IMO, would be wise to take the Peterson rematch(should he defeat Holt). Might be better if Garcia fight Peterson if both win there upcoming fight and force Khan to 147.Quote:

What I do know is that Holt has been fighting with a nagging injury for the past 7 years, his shoulder and his left knuckle in particular, but he's had surgery on it and claims to feel like a new man so if that's the case, he will thrown more jabs ( Holt has one of the best jabs when he utilizes them ) and will throw punches with alot more conviction..
Holt is a better fighter than Peterson in terms of talents so if he fights up to his ability, he will win...
I saw Holt taking about that on FNF last week, I don't buy that he'll be any better, but I hope he is.Quote:

What really caught my eyes were his jabs. Everybody who has followed Holt's career knows that he has one of the mose underrated jabs and he's been utilizing them alot in the gym..
I think friday will be Holt's night !!
I'm going to say Peterson on points. It'll be a tight fight but I just fancy he'll be able to outbox Holt. If Holt hurts him early though you could see Peterson go into a shell like he did in the Ortiz fight.
For the Brits...
This fight is Live on ESPN America Sky channel 426.

I'd like to see Holt win this, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Peterson will catch him inside and take this. Comes down to Holt unwraveling faster and Peterson handling the power better. Hope To see Holt tko him though.
Tomorrow is a stat for me outside the rest of Canada. I'm half loaded and its a pretty sweet boxing weekend.

I think Peterson wins...I have a gut feeling he stops Holt late on.
FNF starts in about 45 minutes or @9:00 PM ET, Teddy & Joe will be pissing themselves, this is the best fight they've been able to call in a year or so. :)
Holt needs a bingo in a big way. If Peterson gets carried away with the body work, Holt has a chance. If Peterson fights smart it's an open and shut case.
Still should be entertaining.
only few hrs away from teh main event, remember and send your scores to @thefightscore and i will add them to my site (fightscorecollector) addy in the signature below
I'm gonna go out on a limb and take Holt in what I believe will be a good showing for Holt. Not a fan of Peterson tbh but I have a gut feeling that Holt senses that this is now or never time for him and goes after it.
Holt has a killer left hook, if he can get it working, it might be lights out for Peterson who may be underestimating Kendall a bit, we shall see.Quote:

Glad we didn't miss anything
FWIW, I hate fucking BB, whether it's HS, College or Pro with a passion.
Here we go Fat Dan, Todd Grisom, and Bernardo in the studio, first up, Roman Morales vs. Jesus Hernandez, 8 rounds, junior featherweights.
No kidding, Dan is getting huge, I love what he brings to boxing, but jesus man, for your sake, lose some fucking weight.Quote:

Just 2 fights tonight, unless Roman vs. Jesus ends early, and then the main. I really hope the main event only goes 6 rounds or less, I don't want to see it go to a 12 round decision, which figures to be boring.
Morales takes the round, nothing convincing yet
10-9 Morales
Morales takes the second as well, he's not running away yet, but he's taking control.
10-9 Morales
20-18 Morales
Showtime card tonight as well?! Nice.
There are THREE cards going head to head tomorrow night ??? Showtime...FoxDep...NBC :juggle: Wow!
Hernandez trying to pressure to get back into the fight, but he's falling right into Morales' wheelhouse.
10-9 Morales
30-27 Morales
Morales has the better skill set, Hernandez is game but in over his head, Morales pitching a shutout after 4.
Plus a KD for Morales at the end of the 4th.
Hernandez sneaks in the occasional left hook, but eats 3-4 counters for his trouble, Morales looking more relaxed and seems to be able to handle every question Hernandez asks. Morales catchs Hernandez and puts him down. Hernandez able to shake it off and get back up.
10-8 Morales
40-35 Morales
Shutout Morales + a KD. 4-0
I like this ref.
Morales starting to land some heavy shots now, Hernandez not backing down, but maybe he should.
Body shot makes Hernandez crumble and the fight is waived off
Morales by TKO.
Predictable, Hernandez KO'd by a body shot, Officially a 5th round KO for Morales, pretty much a mismatch.
Nooooooooooo! Not Adrein Broner
