Former amateur standout and Detroit super middleweight prospect J'Leon Love (5-0, 4 KOs) will fight JC Peterson (1-10) in the Andre Berto- Victor Ortiz WBC welterweight championship undercard Saturday night at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
J'Leon Love is considered to be one of Detroit's brightest prospects and has the skills and talent to make it big in the sport. After all his amateur records speak for themselves: 5- time Detroit Golden Gloves champion, 5- time Golden Glove State champion and National Golden Gloves Silver medalist (he lost to undefeated current NABF welterweight champion and now Manny Pacquiao chief sparmate Shawn Porter in the 2007 finals) and is undefeated in 5 professional fights although the quality of his opponents left something to be desired.
And if you folks are wondering about JC Peterson's boxing record, rest assured that your eyes are not playing tricks on you nor is it a typograpical error. Don't laugh now but we might wonder how on earth a boxer like Peterson, with an atrocious fight record, could still find his way atop a boxing ring against one of Detroit's fast- rising prospects. It is really a reflection of how the business is being run nowadays.
