  Cleotis Pendarvis: "I Got
Caught With My Hands Down"
 
By Barbara Pinnella
Less than two weeks ago, Cleotis “Mookie” Pendarvis faced off against Dierry Jean in a fight he, like all fighters, fully intended to win. But it was not to be, as Jean won by TKO in the fourth round. I spoke with Mookie after that loss to get his thoughts on what went wrong.

“I got caught of course, hands down. I got too comfortable and I stopped focusing on his right hand. I was landing my combinations pretty accurately. That cut that he got, they said it was from a head butt, but I landed my left hand and then we butted heads. Actually, I got the cut from that.

  Hell, Miracles, The Ranting Of Madmen, & The Magically Appearing Crowd; Or Just Another
Night Of Championship Boxing In Atlantic City
 
By Tim Donaldson
What makes boxing so great is that it is so much like life, mirroring a person’s struggle to be great, and if not great, then at least to gain a little respect. Like life, sometimes it can be predictable and sometimes it can be surprising. Sometimes if you look closely at what seems to be the predictable, you can even find the surprising. Alright, maybe sometimes you have to look really, really deep.

It is easy to see the excitement and drama in the Lucas Matthysse, Lamont Peterson fight. It was a fight fought for pride. They fought at the catch weight of 141 pounds, meaning that no titles would change hands regardless of who won. For Peterson, a win would have meant redemption after failing a drug test on May 9, 2012, cancelling his rematch with Amir Khan. That cloud will now still be hanging over Peterson. For Matthysse, his win signals his continued ascendency in the world of international boxing. The two split decision losses, one to Devon Alexander and one to Zab Judah, fade further into the past and for some become even more questionable.

  Mosley Wins Close Unanimous Decision Over Cano  
Shane Mosley (now 47-8-1, 39 KO's) returned to the ring for the first time in just over a year with a solid win over Pablo Cesar Cano. The fight was close and action packed as the two traded in the center of the ring up until the end. Mosley appeared to close the show as Cano began to tire. Mosley unleashed power right hands that would connect, but Cano refused to take a step back. Final scores were 115-113 on all three cards. This was Mosley's first win since 2009. Cano drops to 26-3-1 with 20 KO's.
                                                                                                                         
  Matthysse Blows Out Peterson Easily In 3  
Lucas Matthysse (now 34-2-1 ND, 32 KO's) continues to be the most underrated and overlooked fighter out there as he needed just 3 rounds with 3 knockdowns to dispatch Lamont Peterson. From the opening round, Peterson's plan was to stay away and that he did in the first round.

But he couldn't stay away the whole fight as he was caught on top of the head in round two that sent his legs wobbling and down to the canvas for the first time in the fight. Referee Steven Smoger continued a slow count and even pushed Lucas back to help Peterson get out of the round.

In round 3, Matthysse went right at Peterson, dropping him again with a monster hook. Peterson would fall to the canvas again as he tried to get up, and although he finally beat another slow count, the fight should have been called off. Smoger let the fight resume, pushing Lucas back again to help Peterson regain his senses, but that did not help. Lucas went right in with another assault, dropping Peterson right away and Smoger had no choice but to wave it off at 2:14.

Peterson falls to 31-2-1 with 16 KO's. This fight was fought at a catch weight therefore Peterson keeps his IBF Junior Welterweight Title.

                                                                                                                         
  Alexander Stops Human Punching Bag Purdy After 7  
Devon Alexander (now 25-1, 14 KO's) put on a completely one-sided performance over replacement Lee Purdy, who was more focused on talking that punching. From round 1, Alexander stood right in front of Purdy as promised and banged away. Purdy simply kept his guard up and that's about it. Purdy offered no footwork, no head movement, and very little punching. What Purdy did offer back was a constant shaking of his head to notify he wasn't hurt after every punch he took flush, and non-stop talking to Alexander throughout the fight. Purdy didn't appear hurt or in trouble, but he was losing every second of the fight and was not offering anything in return to even show a glimpse that he could gain any sort of momentum, even despite Alexander beginning to slow down. Purdy's trainer asked the fight be stopped after the 7th round had concluded. Purdy falls to 20-4-1 with 13 KO's.
