Hot Prospect Travis Peterkin
Remains Undefeated
This past Saturday at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in
Verona, New York, Boxing360's light heavyweight prospect,
"The Notorious" Travis Peterkin (4-0, 3 KOs) remained
undefeated, winning a unanimous decision with the scorecards
reading 40-36 across the board.
After recording three consecutive first round knockouts to
start of his career, Peterkin, who faced Steve Tyner (2-3-1,
2 KOs) in a four round bout, went the distance for the first
time, dominating the action from the opening bell.
Peterkin who fights out of Brooklyn, NY went on to say, "It
was defiantly a good win for me but I feel I could have done
better. Tyner was a step up but I fought smart and came out
with the victory. I'm healthy and I'm ready to go right into
my next fight. I'm looking forward to seeing what Boixng360
has lined up for me. I'm excited about 2012."
Trainer Bernard Peterkin said, "I feel it was a good victory
for Travis. He hasn't been past the first round in two years
since the amateurs. He showed great poise versus a guy who
shatters dreams for prospects. Travis is young and that four
round experience is something he's never experienced in 104
bouts as an amateur. He's with the big boys now and we
expect that."
Boxing360 promoter Mario Yagobi was happy with the result
stating, "Peterkin showed he can go rounds if need be. In
this sport you can't always knock everyone out early. The
experience gained from this fight is great for Travis and I
know he learned a few things in the process. I want to get
him back in the ring as soon as possible."
