LAMONT Peterson, showing no rust after a 14-month layoff, stopped fellow American Kendall Holt in the eighth round in Washington on Friday to retain the International Boxing Federation light-welterweight crown.
Peterson improved to 31-1-1 with his 16th stoppage inside the distance when referee Tony Weeks stopped the fight after 1:42 of the eighth. Holt fell to 28-6 with his fourth loss in seven fights. Peterson, 29, ended a 14-month layoff following a positive doping test for synthetic testosterone that scrapped a planned fight with England's Amir Khan last May. Holt, 31, ended an 11-month layoff after right shoulder surgery.
