Peterson turned pro in 2004 and has won 32 of his 33 professional fights, including 21 by way of KO.
On June 26, 2008, Peterson defeated Fernando Trejo by unanimous decision. Peterson was in command for the entire fight as he logged scores of 120–108, 120–108, and 119-109 from the judges in winning the NABF interim lightweight title.[1]
On September 11, 2010, Peterson faced the undefeated Mexican American prospect Brandon Rios in a WBA title eliminator fight.[2] Peterson lost the bout by disqualification in the 7th round due to repeated illegal low blows.[3] Rios was leading on all three scorecards before the stoppage.[4]
