Lamont Peterson Wins WBC USA Title!

Undefeated DC junior welterweight contender Lamont Peterson won a 10-round unanimous decision over Jose Leo Moreno to win the WBC USA Jr. Welterweight championship in front of a nationally-televised ESPN audience at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, TN.

The judge's scorecards had Peterson winning handily with the scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 100-90. Peterson's record is now
16-0, seven KO's.

Lamont's brother Anthony (15-0, 11 KO's) was scheduled to fight on this card, but his opponent pulled out because of injury.

The next scheduled date for the Peterson Brothers will be in April on ShoBox.
