Anthony peterson=prime example of what happens when you fight the wrong fight

[The Big Dunn]

It makes sense, but Dunn, he just doesn't fight like that. You see how confused he looked trying to box and move? That is just not his style. He has had way to many fight where he has ****** out a fighter, and he most likely thought this would be no different. Just like on poster said, the kid has skills, but not yet the mental, or ability to adjust. He for now only knows won way to fight, and on saturday, he fought a guy that does it better.

I can't really argue with those points. Guess you have to blame that on his trainer

perfectly said..Man im so tired of hearing there damn story by the way

Rios' story would have been more intriguing we have heard Ant's and Lamont's story since their ESPN days

[Spray_resistant]

I'm thinking this as well. It would have been a very hard fight for him had he run for 12 rounds.

Rios was just coming non stop and was very accurate with his shots. I loved the right uppercut, left hook combo he kept landing. You could also see Peterson's shots had no effect on Rios.

Peterson could have boxed more no doubt but it would have taken an incredible pace to move the way he needed to to keep Rios off of him.

You could see how easily he landed it inside and how it snapped Peterson's head back every time.

It was pretty obvious when they were both on the inside that if the fight kept up at that pace Peterson would eventually get KTFO, Rios punches were just so much more effective.

I felt the same way watching it. Actually I don't mind seeing HBO giving Anthony story. But, Rios was also highly rated undefeated LW prospect with an interesting story. Is like HBO were giving Peterson the push more so than Rios. I think HBO missed the boat there.

it's funny how perceptions raise up on issues like this

for one

Rios was the smarter man in there even though Peterson was thought to be the one with more dimensions and smarts in there

Rios made the proper adjustments, such as cutting the ring off while Peterson didn't.

Rios listened to his coach while Peterson ignored everything Coach Barry was trying to tell him

ay notice how Rios went from a straight right to a almost hoor right to go around the high guard and pummel Peterson?

that right there is smarts

Yes, he did. All around good post E. How you been bro?

Also, as soon as I saw Rios' Everlast gear, you came to mind, did you design his attire, E?

Rios has so much trouble in his background that HBO probably decided to leave it alone.

I sure the hell did!!!!

Told my pops "dude better stop just standing there with his high guard, it is different when a fighter come around it with a hook"..."that is how jaws get broke"...

Then went on to explain to pops that Peterson has no head movement whatsoever...

Yeah. I think people aren't realizing that Peterson couldn't outbox Rios because...Rios was the better boxer!

[intoccabile]

why wasnt he using his legs and working off of the jab??he fought a slugger's type fight and he isnt a slugger...if he wouldve used diastance and worked off of the jab he wouldnt had to use the guys balls as a speed bag

Him and his brother are both far too easy to lore into a fight, that's why.
They aren't stubborn enough to stick to and execute a plan. Peterson felt determined to show how tough he is, and didn't want to be pushed back.

On top of that, he isn't in the type of shape required to move for twelve rounds with just his jab, and he isn't that type of fighter either. He isn't a 1 punch guy, when he throws, he throws combos. THATS how he was trained.

So even if he did move, he'd always end up planting his feet and throwing a 3-4 punch combo before trying to move again anyhow, and that will always spell danger for sitting in the pocket too long.

At the end of the day, don't blame him. Blame his trainer for asking him to do something he wasn't trained to do.
