r we underestimating peden?

[mic573]

Peden won't go out like Fana. He won't be too difficult but he is tough as hell. It might end up like Peden's fight with J.M. Marquez.

i dont like barrera man. i mean ppl love him and say hes better than pac and morales.

but pac and morales take the tougher fights man.

i mean this is like the first tuneup morales has had in a long time.
he fought chavez, then hernandez than barrera then pac, n after this going to fight pac again
barrera lost to pac, fought ayala (wow old dude), then morales, then fana, n now peden

Funny how people can call Zahir Raheem just a "tuneup" for Morales. I just saw Raheem-Juarez a couple of hours ago and holy ****, I still scratch my head saying how could Morales pick this guy as a tuneup. The guy is very slick, tons of speed and has mad boxing skills. But Morales is Morales, no explanation needed.

Anyway, Peden is definitely more than just a "tuneup" fight for MAB. Should be a good Saturday evening of boxing, sucks tho because this is PPV. I ain't spending **** for this event, that's for sure.

I can't believe I'm saying this in defense of MAB but I don't think it's entirely his fault that people charge him of taking the EZ way out.

1. Who would've known that WBC #1 ranked contender Fana would suck like that?
2. Oscar is partly to blame for MAB not taking any part of Pacquiao but still, if you're a fighter, you can overrule your promoter, like what Gatti did to fight Mayweather (in which Gatti's promoters completely opposed).
3. Nobody knows which Peden will show up and people keep forgetting that he's the IBF champ. If Peden can make it a competitive fight, then people will think that MAB deserves that IBF belt. But if MAB dismantles Peden like he did Fana, then people will again discredit him for fighting a bum.

It's almost a no win situation for MAB. But I do agree, when it comes to reputation, Morales has the edge right now.

Thats because Zahir has been put on the shelf for sometime and has TONS of ring rust and has only been fighting 8 rounds. At the level Morales likes to fight at will probably fatigue Raheem. Especially since he hasnt fought a 12 round fight since the Juarez fight.

peden is better then barrera's last opponent..but barrera should have no problem exposing pedens flaws..he keeps his left hand dangerously low and he is not fast enough to counter barrera..barrera well jus throw right hands over pedens weak jab and then throw punishing lefts to the body...barrera has a good shot at stopping peden in this fight

[punchers_chance]

Peden's no bum, but i've seen him struggle with fighters who Barrera would have KO'd in one round.

[Famoso Matador]

There is no way Peden is going out like Fana, he is too tough. But he isnt going to beat Barrera, he will loose by UD.
