This past Saturday at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York, Boxing 360’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.”
Boxing 360 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.”
