Jesus what a boring fight. I was picking Sam going into it, but as soon as I heard he was coming in at 265 I immediately changed my pick from Sam by KO to Eddie by boring decision. I don't understand a guy like Peter. This is your comeback fight after getting EMBARASSED and beaten to a snot, and you can't even get motivated to get in shape for it? My god. Good show by Eddie though, I like him despite his small size and lack of power.
The undercard really left a sour taste in my mouth. Teddy made a point that I whole heartedly agree with, that these olympians should be fighting stiffer compedition earlier in their career. I really, really hate these "record padding" fights. And I know you have to ease these guys along, but fighting a guy who was like 8-7 with 1 KO, or a 36 year old guy making his pro debut, thats just terrible IMO.
They should really take into accoutn the number of amateur fights a guy has had and how far he made it (olympics, ect) when making these fights. It was 3 guys who had no chance, and everyone knew they had no chance. It was just lambs being lead to the slaughter. I know this is nothing new, but seeing all those guys go down in rapid succession really left a bad taste in my mouth. Thats not what boxing is about.
