Pretty close. Peterson is more talented boxer, but already a bit shabby. However, I guess, he'll still handle Lipinets, who is tough, fresher, but not really proven to be anything special.

Peterson moved up from 140 a few years ago and Lipinets has only moved up this year..

Should be similar sizes, Lipinets did say he was too big for 140. Who knows how they'll look stood next to each other.

Peterson is on the back end of his career. Has been around for a while and he's not going to be getting another world title run IMO. He would still be a decent opponent for a champion though.

[Mexi-Box]

I say Lipinets. Both are fighting for their career, but I don't think Peterson has the fire anymore.

Could really go either way eh.. Peterson IMO was never really world class rated.. He was more of a fringe world level competitor, even though he won world titles.

I didn't but a lot had him beating Danny Garcia. You could argue he's 1-4 in his last 5 going into this fight. Arguably lost to Garcia, Avanesyan, Diaz, and had that brutal loss to Spence Jr. Either way, I think the Danny Garcia fight was the last time he's ever been world class-looking.

theres no way peterson lost to avanesyan, nice try sneaking that in

[Ruthless-RKO]

theres no way peterson lost to avanesyan, nice try sneaking that in

Yeh. Defo won that.

[Mexi-Box]

He got outworked. Didn't throw enough at all and looked like crap. I'm not sneaking in anything. He arguably lost that fight. I'm talking to someone that is awful at scoring fights, though.

[jamamb]

nah, peterson won that fight clearly, if anything people were rightfully saying the cards were too close, no f@cking way he lost that. he couldve lost to diaz but lol at avanesyan

[Mexi-Box]

Yeah, this site also said that Korobov/Charlo was close when I've not seen a single person on a more respectable sight say Charlo won that fight.

Don't get mad at me. Get made at Peterson for going close with an average fighter. Surprised you're still talking back to me after getting cucked so many times.

[jamamb]

nah you got just got caught, LOL at peterson not winning that fight

[Mexi-Box]

nah you got just got caught, LOL at peterson not winning that fight

Okay, jamdumb, caught with what? Being right again for the 100th time? As I said, I'm talking to the guy that rated Karo Murat high and thought Korobov and Arroyo had no chance. If anyone holds your opinion high after I slapped you around so many times, I feel bad for that person.

[jamamb]

LOL....never rated karo murat big, just higher then hoop the poop, never said arroyo had no chance at all either

look at the scores anywhere., espn, badlefthook, BS, 7-0 peterson over at eyes on the ring, graham houston saying the cards were surprisngly close etc....peterson clearly won that fight and thankfully pretty much everyone else thinks so too son

As I said, it was a close fight that could've gone either way. Depends on what you liked when you watched it, but go ahead and keep arguing. I'd be surprised if anyone takes you serious after what I've done to you.

[jamamb]

LOL

it wasnt a go either way fiight at all. you tried to sneak it in with the others but it wasnt that fight at all. everyone had it for peterson because he clearly won kid

as i said, check anywhere, espn, BS, badlefthook, all the cards being for peterson at eyes on the ring, graham houston surprised it was scored that close, peterson winning on every forum, etc....he won that clear as day

[Lennox]

Unless Lamont has taken a big drop back he wins this fairly easily. Lipinets was quite poor as a Jnr welter.

"Lipinets is looking to conquer a second division after winning a 140-pound title, while Peterson is out to show he's still amongst the welterweight elite. Peterson will be joined by his brother, Anthony Peterson, for a true homecoming event featuring two of Washington D.C.'s most popular fighters.

Peterson can be very crafty, i am favoring him in this. But overall this can be unpredictable match

Defo a 50-50 like Brown said.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I say Lipinets. Both are fighting for their career, but I don't think Peterson has the fire anymore.

Has Peterson even fought since Spence?

That was Jan 2018

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Friday from MGM National Harbor:

LAMONT PETERSON
“I know how to keep the pressure off of myself before a fight. I know we’re at the top level and I’m facing a top guy. I’m looking to capitalize on the opportunity and move forward.

“Lipinets is a tough guy. He only has about 15 pro fights, but he was able to move through the ranks pretty fast. That got my attention and lets you know that he’s definitely coming to win.

“Anthony and I have fought on cards together but not on this stage for a while. I used to be nervous for him, but at this point we’re veterans and we’re just going to enjoy it.

“From day one we’ve treated every opponent like a champion. We always had that mindset that we had to go out there and take care of business, and that’s not going to change on Sunday night. Any time I fight at home, there’s a little bit more on it. It makes things easier when I’m getting through the whole progress of training camp. There’s a type of home court advantage. I knew when they opened this venue, that eventually I’d fight here. I’m going to enjoy it.

“I never felt like I was done fighting after my last fight, but you have to be smart. After each fight I assess the whole situation before I move on. That’s what I did before this one and I’m happy to be in this position.”

SERGEY LIPINETS
“I’m very excited to be in this position and in this fight. I appreciate that Lamont took on this fight. He’s a great fighter who I respect and I’m sure he’s ready. I’m ready to make this fight goes down in history.

“I know that a win over Lamont will get me the big fights that I’m looking for. I want to be a champion at welterweight and that starts with making a statement on Sunday.

“I have a very tough opponent in front of me and I’m motivated by the challenge. I’m in this sport to be in the biggest and best fights. People say this is 50-50, so I’m excited to show why I’m better. This is a big fight. I have to get through Lamont to get to where I want to go. We’ll find out Sunday if he can stop me. I know that if I do what I have to with Lamont, that will set me up.”

I'm looking forward to this crossroads fight tonight.
