2 Star RatingReview by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-11, some good exchanges in the second part of the fight but sometimes they look like two “runners” and not two boxers…Danny Garcia vs Lamont Peterson gets two stars.

He has won the Wbc world title against Erik Morales in 2012 (=Garcia vs Morales) and after four months he has also won the Wba belt with Amir Khan (=Garcia vs Khan).
