Danny Garcia remains undefeated after beating Lamont Peterson on Saturday night. But the non-title catchweight bout in Brooklyn, New York, was as close as the WBC and WBA “super” super-lightweight champion had come to losing in his 30-fight professional career.
Two judges scored it 115-113 and the third made it a draw at 114-114 to give Garcia a majority-decision victory that he probably deserved. Peterson, who held the now vacant IBF junior super-lightweight belt and is a former WBA “super” champion, finished strongly after Garcia had made a profitable start.
The result took Garcia’s record to 30-0, including 17 wins inside the distance. Peterson’s fell to 33-3, with one draw and 17 knockouts.
