Brandon Rios VS. Anthony Peterson: Why Nobody Talking About This Fight?

[Bhopreign]

Peterson doesn't have the footwork to outbox Rios for 12 rounds.

It will be a really good action fight. Why? because I feel it will be fought mostly on the inside, each fighter basically taking turns opening up.

Peterson will jab when they are on the outside and when Rios closes the distance to get inside, he will get in his shell and try to counter off whatever Rios is does. Rios has a pretty good counter left hook and has some pretty good power and body work.

If Rios can either wear down and/or hurt Peterson, he will win the fight. If he can't, it'll be because Peterson's defense, counter combos, and conditioning were too much.

I only watched Rios for about a minute and 30 seconds and what you said is pretty much how I see it going, I see Peterson going to the body to try and slow Rios down also, Rios is crafty coming forward, being first sometimes and countering also, even though I havent watched Rios much I feel he wins this fight.

I'm not sure who will win, but it'll be a solid fight either way. It will be a grueling fight though, so whoever's in better condition will win the fight.

Still not sure why Arum is putting his two young undefeated fighters together like this, I know in house is typical of him, but both these guys are relatively young and undefeated.

I agree, always like your analysis, you know your boxing.

How good is Rios? Saw some footage, looks tough, will slug it out and throws decent punches. Does he win against Peterson? Your thoughts.

Im assuming its a step up for Peterson but still not excited about it at all hopefully it will be a good fight.

I think he feels the winner could move on to fight a guy like Soto or The Ghost...While the loser(as long as he puts up a good fight)can still be put in with Soto or The Ghost or even Casamayor an or Ali Funka...The LW's are very deep with alot of fights to be made so you got to start somewhere I guess..

haven't seen much or anything of both but i'm looking foward to the result.
