Nice. How long do you think before Peterson gets a Big 4 title shot? And did Peterson move up in rank? I noticed the weights were slightly above lightweight.
A lot has to be settled in front of Peterson before Peterson gets his shot.
September 13 is the key date because the number one man at lightweight, Nate Campbell takes on Joan Guzman on Showtime while WBO champ Joel Casamayor battles Juan Manuel Marquez on HBO PPV.
After this date, Peterson will have a better idea of who to take on after that night. But a title shot probably won't happen until early 2009 at this rate.
Alright. I'm sure with both Petersons though, it's just a matter if time. They're both still young.
Another very good outing for Ant. Nice job Barry Boogie and Drew. Last time they gave him flack for not showing enough flash even though he completely dominated. This time he dominated again. That's called winning and winning big. Coach Hal
Excellent learning experience for Peterson. The improvement in his next few outings is gonna phenomenal off of this one lesson with the professor Jauregui.
And he did get good instructions from Barry Hunter to go out and finish real strong rather than coast. Now he knows for certain, he can close real strong after twelve hard rounds.
It'll no longer be an unknown, new experience for him when he might possibly need to do it to win an important match.
