Has anyone heard of Anthony Peterson ?

[DC Amateur Boxing]

He's a beast along with his brother Lamont, who has wins over Andre Dirrell and Rock Allen. Both won national Golden Gloves and were good prospects to make the 2004 Olympic Team, but came up short. The Petersons have a great story. Really good guys. Really personable and down to earth. They support DC amateurs boxing and attend many shows here locally every weekend they are around. I just saw them last weekend with their 3rd amigo and stablemate Ty Barnette. They also still are regulars at their local gym where they boxed during their amateurs and have been with the same coach since they started - which is really rare these days. Here's a link to one of the many articles detailed their rise from being homeless at 10 years old The Peterson Brothers: An Argument for Boxing

Here's a vid from Anthony as a 17 year-old from 2001. Click through to the video to see in high quality format: YouTube - H.O.B.O presents 2001 Platinum Gloves Anthony Peterson vs. Deshawn Richardson

They are still young (23 and 24) and have been brought along slowly with diversity in their selected opponents. I know how mentally tough these guys are and with the skills they are honing - I can't wait to see how they do against their first big test. I think they will shock a lot of people who aren't familiar with them. I would like to see the peterson v campbell too especially when campbell called him out last year and after how campbell crushed diaz.
