Fight Preview: Garcia v Peterson

In a Super Lightweight showdown, Danny "Swift" Garcia will face Lamont "Havoc" Peterson.  Although Garcia's Title won't be on the line, due to a 143 lb. catchweight, this match is still intriguing.  With Garcia hinting that this will be his last fight as a Super Lightweight before moving up to Welterweight, he will have a tough task in Peterson.  Both are coming off "weak" competition in their last fights coming into their own showdown, so both have much to prove.  Garcia is out to prove that he cleaned out the Super Lightweight division and is ready to become an elite fighter in the already stacked up Welterweight division.  Peterson is out to show that he too can become an elite fighter in the next level.  Expect good bout with someone possibly getting hurt in this one.  Garcia vs Peterson will be broadcasted tonight, April 11th, 2015, live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York on NBC at 5:30 PST.

In the undercard of Garcia v Peterson, Andy Lee will square off against Peter Quillin.  This bought was going to be for Lee's WBO Middleweight Championship, but since Quillin failed to make weight, the title won't be on the line.  This fight should also produce some hard hitting action.

On Pay-Per-View, Orlando "Siri" Salido put his WBO Super Featherweight Title on the line in Puerto Rico against Puerto Rican native Rocky Martinez.  Salido is no stranger to fighting in enemy territory as he has experience in coming to Puerto Rico and ripping out the hearts of Boricuas with upset wins against their native son Juan Manuel Lopez.  Look for another Mexican-Puerto Rican "War" when these two get in the ring tonight.

Noez Predictions:
Danny Garcia Wins by 8th Round TKO
Andy Lee Wins by 5th Round TKO
Orlando Salido Wins by 11th Round TKO
