Peterson showed how slick he could be, which judges usually dislike. It was a calculated tactic to wear down Garcia which backfired and lost him the fight in the end.
He did wear down Garcia....you and those judges need glasses.
Yes, he did wear Garcia down, but when he was showing us that great mobility he was also losing rounds. Most judges don't give rounds to fighters who don't throw punches.
The first half was Garcia's, the second half was Peterson's, of course many of those rounds were close and could have gone either way. That's how you wind up with a close fight and a decision that some fans don't like.
When Peterson was running he was losing, when he was coming forward (engaging) he was winning. It's a shame really, because he looked like he had enough gas in the tank to fight aggressively all nite long. Who do you think came up with that fight plan?
By the way, I do wear glasses and I had them on. Dude, I was seeing good, I was seeing real good! Lol
That isn't how rounds are supposed to be scored. What about ring generalship? Peterson chose how and when that fight was fought all fight long. What about clean punching? Peterson landed the clean punches all night long. If a guy runs but he controls the fight and lands the clean punches he wins the rounds.
