— Sergey Lipinets may get another title shot. Lipinets stopped Peterson in the 10th round of a brutal welterweight bout on Sunday night, bringing Peterson to declare an end to his career just minutes after his trainer threw in the towel. After appearing close to a knockdown two rounds prior, Lipinets felled peterson in a neutral corner at the end of the 10th. “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end,” Peterson said. Anthony Peterson, who at 34 was hoping to make a case for a first title shot, began well before Mendez grew stronger in the later round.
