Holt and Shaw unconcerned about Washington judges ahead of Peterson fight

Kendall Holt: "I try not to think about [hometown decisions], but I don't want to be stupid and think that stuff doesn't happen. People bring up the Amir Khan fight and of course you would think about going into somebody's backyard.

"People have been telling me it's harder to win when you're in his backyard, but with the game plan we've put together I don't think I should have any problem winning a decision. I'm going in there to win every round convincingly. I understand that you have to beat the champion in order to become the champion. So my thing is to go in there and beat the champion."

Gary Shaw: "I'm not concerned about the officiating. I know the officials. They're very, very good. They've done big fights before. The crowd won't sway them. Look, I took [Australia's] Daniel Geale to Germany twice and won decisions. So I don't really worry about the officials. I wouldn't approve an official if I thought it was detrimental to my fighter. I think whoever wins in the ring will win the fight."

I may stay up for this. I've never seen holt fight before, but if you guys say it could be a goodun I'll take that as good recommendation. We'll see how I am when reality hits at 1 (I normally abandon all plans then). I liked Peterson's performance against Khan, and he seemed sound in an interview I watcehd in the leadup to the rematch.
Speaking of which, that wasn't long ago and he got caught cheating. He's still got a belt and is fighting again? Farcical. but that's down to the body, not the man.
