RAZZ-MCFC Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 According to manager and trainer Barry Hunter, junior welterweight contender Lamont Peterson has accepted an offer to fight Victor Ortiz on December 11 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. The fight will be the HBO televised co-feature to Amir Khan's defense of the WBA 140-pound title against interim-champion Marcos Maidana. Peterson (28-1, 14 KOs) has only suffered one defeat in his pro career, to current WBO king Tim Bradley. Ortiz (27-2-1, 21 KOs) has won four in a row since suffering a sixth round TKO loss to Maidana in June of 2009. If Peterson wins, Hunter says they will target the Khan-Maidana winner. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=31818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynbrawler Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 This is still a risky fight for Ortiz. It's above the level I was expecting. I just realised Anthony Peterson lost last month to Brandon Rios' too. That result totally escaped me. I thought Lamont was the better of the two, but he does lack a bit of heart right enough. So does Ortiz mind, so if this fight goes into the trenches, it could end up being down to the first to quit! mlol/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooreman Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Ortiz vs Maidana II would be a fight I'd love to see. You will early next year when Maidana KO's Khan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will early next year when Maidana KO's Khan. why would that mean he faces Ortiz then? Ortiz doesn't deserve a shot at a world champ if Maidan beats Khan his next fight should be either Bradley or Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynbrawler Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It's the reason Golden Boy signed Maidana in the first place. It covers all eventualities, and means they can force the belt back into Ortiz or Khan's hands that much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
