Lamont Peterson vs. Felix Diaz

Lamont Peterson vs. Felix Diaz Synopsis

This afternoon at 4 pm EST on NBC, Premier Boxing Champions' fourth card of the week goes live from Fairfax, Virginia, as former junior welterweight titleholder Lamont Peterson returns to action against 2008 Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz Jr in a welterweight main event. Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KO) is coming off of a debated loss to Danny Garcia in April, while Diaz (17-0, 8 KO) fought on the undercard that night, beating Gabriel Bracero in a ten-round decision. Diaz, 31, has really not stood out as a pro after winning gold in Beijing for the Dominican Republic, but he's got talent and might be someone who just needs a fight to get up for, and this is easily his biggest shot to date. In the co-feature, we'll see two undefeated, tall welterweight prospects, as six-footers Prichard Colon (16-0, 13 KO) and Terrel Williams (14-0, 12 KO) meet in a 10-round bout, which replaces the canceled Andre Dirrell-Blake Caparello fight on the broadcast.
