Comments Thread For: Photos: Miguel Acosta, Brandon Rios Go Face To Face

[Evil Abed]

What about Anthony Peterson? Can Anthony Peterson prepare Brandon Rios for Miguel Acosta the same way Urbano Antillon can prepare Miguel Acosta for Brandon Rios?

I don't think so.

Peterson tried to slug it out with a guy who had 15+ponds on him and got hammered. He puts his hands up in a shell and made himself a sitting target. He broke down mentally.

I doubt Acosta will make that mistake. Acosta uses better head movement and really had to dig deep in the Antillion fight.

Antillion is more like Rios. Perhaps not as strong though.

Rios may be far superior in all aspects. But he relevantly unproven. He's been 10 rounds only twice. One was a SD and the other MD.

Perhaps he has problems finishing fights. Acosta has to take him into deep waters and drown him.

We shall see.

rios is at least looking like less of a ghost than was the case when he was on short notice against lowther


i mean, the dude was a zombie the week of that fight.

heres to another good name at 140 if he's able to keep this run going

Acosta's a slippery looking fellow. Hope he doesn't just point the hell out of Rios.
