Anthony Peterson remained undefeated with a 10-round unanimous decision over former IBF Lightweight champion Javier Jauregui tonight at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
Peterson scored a shutout on two of the judges's scorecards, 100-90 while one judge scored the bout, 99-91. According to Fightnews.com's Andres Hale, the bout was more competitive than the scores indicate.
Peterson, who is ranked number three in the world by the WBO, raises his record to 28-0, 19 KO's. Jauregui falls to 53-15-2, 36 KO's.
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.
ReplyDeleteA lot has to be settled in front of Peterson before Peterson gets his shot.
ReplyDeleteSeptember 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.
ReplyDeleteAnother 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
ReplyDeleteExcellent learning experience for Peterson. The improvement in his next few outings is gonna phenomenal off of this one lesson with the professor Jauregui.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
