Highlights

  • - Lamont Peterson came out athletic and loose, circling Danny Garcia and staying well out of range.

  • - Peterson started pressing the action in the sixth round, electing to get in with Garcia while still managing to avoid serious damage.

  • - Ultimately, Garcia stuck enough combinations in the middle and late rounds to sway two of the judges to earn a majority decision.

Lamont Peterson showed championship-caliber legs in the first half of the fight, but great distance and solid defense weren't enough to overcome Danny Garcia who earned a majority decision April 11 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

After Peterson kept his distance and kept Garcia off-balance through the first half of the fight, he dug into the trenches in the second half and played into Garcia’s powerful offense.
