so you are bicthing about the weight yawn you hero got his ass kicked get over it. there is nothing wrong with his weight he is not the first boxer to gain that much you must be new to boxing stick to wacthing WWE you dont have to think as much

[Iceta Lives]

Well Martinez boxed smart.

Peterson tried to overpower the bigger, stronger man.

Could you imagine Martinez trying slug it out with Kelly for the first 4 rounds.

Peterson is so ******.

Martinez beat Pavlik at his own game. I somewhat disagree with what you are saying.

Nobody seems to think this is relevant.. I mean it was practically like a junior welter vs. a junior middle out there, I can't help but think that was a deciding factor in the outcome of the fight. An twelve pound difference at that weight is worse than it sounds, the punches are way heavier..

Anyone?

I see where you are going with this, Rios was walking right in and bullying Peterson on the inside. Peterson was clearly out of his element and was getting worked. He should have listened to his corner, he may have had a better chance of out-pointing Rios. Probably not though..

Since both made weight, it plays a small part. Peterson basically got beat up last night and hopefully he learns a few things from it.

u should keep your own bottles on reserve becuz your the biggest bytch in this thread. No one even brought up race but since ur so ***in insecure and have some sort of inferiority complex u reach for shyt that no one is thinking about. Flaming ***s like u are the biggest bytches in the world. Your mother should have took that extra 5 bucks and swallowed u kid.

It was a HUGE advantage in this fight. And I believe he put on 16lbs over night. Without the weight advantage he doesn't hurt Peterson and Peterson probably hurts him.

Its a question. Im not a hater. Now either post something constructive or get the goddamn out of my thread ****sucker.

You talk to CungLeGEND like that ever again and I'll take a greyhound bus over to that ****hole state and plunger fuck you like a roided out cop.


To answer your question though. No of course it didn't matter.

The bottom line is that Peterson wasn't man enough to hang with Rios. Whether they weighed the same or not, he doesn't have the chin to deal with Rios power and is not tough enough to hang in there.

Thats why he started to hit him in the nuts.

What a bitch.

He didn't look at all bigger than Peterson. I bet none of you even noticed, or would be making this point if Max Kellerman didn't bring it up during the commentary. The fact is this: the unofficial weigh-ins do not require that a fighter strip down before jumping on the scales. For all we could have known, Rios was wearing more clothes, heavier clothes, and more accouterments.

Unless HBO decided to film these weigh-ins, its hard to tell what makes up for the extra weight.

All in all, I didn't see a size difference. Some fighters you can obviously tell like when Paul Williams was fighting welterweights and blown up light WW's. But last night I didn't think it was a size difference that won the fight.

Rios made weight just let it go.
