This let me know where I’m at in the 147-pound weight class . I went into deep waters and showed that I belong. ” The fight featured near non-stop action and a thrilling finish , already earning Fight of the Year buzz after its ’ conclusion . Peterson only occasionally retreated in defense for a moment or two while Lipinets was determined to close off the distance , making sure he didn’t let Peterson use his reach advantage , while using his own varied attack on the inside to occasional success . “You can see that I have no problem with the size ,” said Lipinets . “Peterson is an excellent fighter with unbelievable skills and he’s showed me what I can really do. ” Peterson was dedicated to attacking the body , punctuating numerous combinations with vicious left hooks to the midsection . He was the busier fighter but was still taking shots from Lipinets ’ combination of hooks , uppercuts and body shots . Eventually one of those shots appeared to change the tide of the fight , when a straight right from Lipinets connected and clearly hurt Peterson . The counter put Peterson on his back foot and in survival mode for the final minute of the eighth round until hearing the bell . With the momentum sharply turning toward Lipinets through round nine and midway through round 10, Lipinets finally landed a sweeping left hook during an exchange that hurt Peterson and signaled that the end was near . “It was back and forth and we were hitting each other with some good shots ,” said Peterson . “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end. ” Lipinets followed up and put Peterson on the canvas as the towel came in from Peterson’s corner , stopping the fight at 2:59 of round 10. The exciting action fight featured both fighters throwing a career high number of punches , according to CompuBox . Both fighters landed a nearly identical number of power punches (189-188 for Peterson ), with Lipinets landing 23 in each of the final two rounds . “You’ve seen what I did at 140-pounds and now what I can do here ,” said Lipinets . “I made a big jump in competition from my last fight to this one . My new trainer Joe Goossen gets all the credit . We’ve had an excellent camp with perfect sparring that taught me a lot and got me ready for tonight. ” “There were no easy days in our gym for training camp ,” said Goossen . “I feel like we clicked together and he got the best out of me because he was so agreeable to my methods and the way I pushed him . “I thought Sergey’s defense was very good tonight . His jab worked good and he put real pressure on . The left uppercut was a good shot for him and he used a variety of punches in this fight to get it done. ” After the fight . Peterson , along with lifelong trainer and fellow Washington , D.C.-native Barry Hunter , announced his retirement from boxing in front of his hometown fans after a career that saw him win titles at 140 and 147-pounds . “It’s been a long career but today is the day ,” said Peterson . “I’m thankful for the support . I love everyone here and I’m always going to support this area , but I’m sure it’s time for me to hang it up . I couldn’t go out in a better way here at home . This will be the last time you see me in the ring. ” The night also featured Anthony Peterson (37-1-1, 24 KOs), Lamont’s brother , as he fought to a split-draw against former champion Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KOs) in a back-and-forth super lightweight showdown . Peterson established his movement early on as he looked to pick his spots to attack Mendez with combinations to the head and body . Peterson flashed good speed and was the busier fighter especially early , often putting Mendez on the defensive during flurries in the first half of the fight . “I could have thrown more punches in the first half of the fight ,” said Mendez . “I think that was the difference , but I don’t think you can win the fight on the run.I knew that I was on his home turf and it was in my mind to do a little bit extra . Peterson is a great fighter and he’s good for the sport so I knew that I had to push the fight. ” Mendez began the fight looking to counter , but picked up his offense working off of a jab that swelled up Peterson’s left eye in the late rounds of the fight . Mendez was able to land with left hooks and uppercuts to open up his offense as the fight went on . “Last night was actually the first night I really studied Mendez’s fights and I knew he was good and slick ,” said Peterson . “There were times I didn’t engage cause of his countering . I took my time and used my jab and moved. ” While Peterson held a robust 137 mus 83 advantage in punches landed , it was only a six punch difference in power punches landed . After 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight differently , with one score of 96-94 for each fighter and the third judge scoring it 95-95 resulting in the split draw . “I didn’t think it was a draw ,” said Mendez . “I know every round was close , but I think I won the fight . I don’t want to say it was easy but I think I won comfortably . He was running the whole fight and I was trying to throw counterpunches and catch him. ” “I can’t be that disappointed because I didn’t lose , but I was just happy to fight in front of my fans ,” said Peterson . “I’ve been out of the ring for a long time and I think did okay , but if the judges saw a draw they saw a draw . I’m not mad about it. ” Additional action featured super welterweight contender Jamontay Clark (14-1, 7 KOs) surviving an early knockdown to earn a narrow unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Vernon Brown (10-1-1, 7 KOs) after 10 rounds of action . Brown scored the first big blow of the bout , landing a perfect counter right hook on the inside that sent Clark crashing into the ropes . Referee Kenny Chevalier ruled it a knockdown , determining that Clark had used the ropes to avoid hitting the canvas . “He had the reach and I was trying to catch him . I was throwing my hook but I was a little off . I still think I won the fight . I caught him with the better shots . He was just slapping me with the hook and trying to catch up that way . Clark was able to survive the onslaught and finish the round and appeared to recover until behing hurt again late in round four . From there , Clark began to increase his punch output , out working Brown on his way to a 162 mus 97 advantage in total punches landed . “I boxed a little bit better the last few rounds and used my height ,” said Clark . “I made him miss and made him over reach . That was the game plan. ” Brown tried to do more work on the inside with big power punches that would hurt Clark and potentially end the fight . According to CompuBox , only 49 seconds on average per round were fought on the inside , allowing Clark to gain an advantage in the second half of the fight . After 10 rounds the judges saw the fight close , but all three ruled in favor of Clark with totals of 96-93 twice and 95-94. “I’ve been down before and I’ve seen the worst of the worst ,” said Clark . “This was nothing . I just kept grinding . I got the win and now I’m going to sit down and see what’s next for me. ” “If they want to do it again , let’s do it again ,” said Brown . “Let’s make it a 12 rounder . I don’t think he can survive 12 rounds with me . My coach knew that I needed the knockout but it’s still on to the next . I’m just going to go into the gym and work even harder. ” Prior to the main telecast , PBC Prelims on FS1 saw Aaron Coley (16-2-1, 7 KOs) win a split-decision over Brandon Quarles (21-5-1, 10 KOs) by scores of 77-75 for Quarles and 79-73 thiab 78-74 for Coley after eight-rounds of super welterweight action .
