Chris Arreola vs Sam Peter

[Lance Uppercut]

Peter is fighting, and will lose next week to Eddie Chambers on ESPN2.


Did you hear Teddy Atlas last night, for some reason he announced during the telecast that Peter has not been taking his training seriously.

I would love to see Arreola and Peter fight. Fighting McCline and then Peter is good for Arreola, but the thing is will Arreola want to fight Peter because I think he is going to lose to Chambers next week. May'be Arreola-Chambers? Either way it's good for Arreola to fight back-to-back quality opponents.

Sam Peter hasn't been in great shape since 2001 which was the last time he ever weighed in the 230's

A bit of a blubberfest, but still an interesting matchup. Of course, I have some serious doubts Peter will get by Fast Eddie.

I think we're over estimating Eddie Chambers' talent level just a touch. Sure he's a solid defensive fighter but #1 he doesn't throw a lot of punches and #2 he doesn't have quick feet so he won't be able to run circles around Sam Peter.

Sam may edge out Eddie with a UD because #1 I have never really seen Eddie get hurt and #2 Eddie doesn't do enough work in the late rounds.

This is the perfect fight to get Sam back on track, he needs to use the jab, keep Eddie at a distance for the early rounds and then pour on the pressure late.


Cris Arreola hasn't really impressed me all that much, he's already been hurt, he's never been past 8 rounds, and I think he's in more danger of losing to an all around fighter like McCline than Sam Peter is in danger vs a one dimensional fighter like Chambers.
