    That was the fight changer, Peterson couldn't deal with them and Rios kept pounding away. That punch opened everything else up, you could also see how much harder Rios punches were. He reminded me of prime Chavez, you could see those punches were cracking bones and doing damage while not being 1 punch KO punches.

      I think Katsidis has been improving since his last loss to Diaz.

      He's sacrificed some his offense for a better defense.

      He understands his identity better now.

      I give him a decent shot against Marquez.

      Rios fight is a toss-up.

      I think Kats can handle those bombs a bit better than AP could.

        It's a 50/50 all-action match that will be fought in a phone booth.

            Katsidis is more well rounded but Rios is at least a junior welterweight fighting at lightweight. And he has the strength to push Katsidis back. I lean towards Katsidis though, the guy is rugged and goes through hell to win if he has to.

              Who much of a badass ****er does Kats look with that Spartan outfit?

              I love it!

              I missed the Rios fight so I don't know. From what I gather though, whoever won it will be brutal.

                Bad call.

                It happens.

                I'd never seen Rios.

                Don't get me wrong.

                I see it as a toss-up fight.

                I just don't see him running over Kats like he did AP.

                Peterson was completely unproven.

                Katsidis has fought at a much higher level.

                  Looked like Castillo-Corrales early.

                  Than Rios overwhelmed him and Peterson *****ed out and went Golota on Rios and got disqualified.

                    How about Robert Guerrero or Miguel Acosta?
