Two of the top five super lightweights in the world will do battle on network television this Saturday night (April 11, 2015) as consensus No. 1 Danny Garcia takes on Lamont Peterson in the latest installment of Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions series on NBC.
MMA Mania will have LIVE coverage, starting with the NBC broadcast at 8:30 PM EST.
Garcia (29-0, 17 KO) has lost some luster since his tremendous win over Lucas Matthysse despite defeating both subsequent challengers. After controversially edging Puerto Rico's Mauricio Herrera in March of '14, Garcia faced the ludicrously outmatched Rod Salka, who was ranked 93rd at lightweight, and put him away in four. Peterson (33-2, 17 KO), meanwhile, has likewise won twice since his own encounter with Matthysse, including defeating 15th-ranked Dierry Jean.
Interestingly, both men have a split decision and a (technical) knockout win over Amir Khan and Kendall Holt, although who got decisioned and who got knocked out is different for each man.
The co-feature will also feature a quality clash, this time at middleweight, WBO champion Andy Lee (34-2, 24 KO), last seen knocking out Matt Korobov for the belt, will face unbeaten prospect Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (31-0, 22 KO), who previously vacated the belt rather than face Korobov.
