Fight Picks Analysis: Both of these guys are in their respective primes and the aggressive styles of both fighters should produce a war. Matthysse will try to impose his will with his heavy bodypunches and home run swings but the durable Peterson will be able to stand and trade toe-to-toe with success. Mattysse’s wide punches will be countered by Peterson who should score at least one knockdown in this bout despite being regarded as only a decent banger. Matthysse will have success of his own with punches around Peterson’s peek-a-boo guard but he will not be able to crack the D.C. toughman’s chin. Lucas Matthysse vs Lamont Peterson Fight Odds Total is at 9.5 Rounds with the OVER at -160.
Peterson has the better boxing skills and he has proven himself capable of withstanding bombs from big punchers. Peterson will also be the bigger man and without any testing for P.E.D.’s he could also have his “testosterone” helper with him. Lucas Matthysse can punch with both hands but he is slow and usually takes a few rounds to get warmed up. Peterson should be able to build an early lead and hold on for a close decision win.
Fight Picks Play: Lamont Peterson +180
