Brandon Rios vs Lamont Peterson @ 140

[Rome-By-Ko]

The Anthony Peterson fight wasn't that close, only for the first few rounds, and Rios was coming on and beating his ass more and more, which is why Anthony started throwing cheap low blows to get disqualified.

And Acosta is a good puncher. Rios took his shots like they were pillows.

Rios was hurt by Acosta early on,Acosta's problem was he move to much(similar to Cotto Marga's 1)..Acosta wore himself out as well as Rios heavy shots...

[Dat]

Peterson will knockout Bum Bum Rios.

Look to Peterson Ortiz,Peterson fought going backward threw out that fight..He jab Ortiz and hit Ortiz with the jab(when Ortiz was coming in)and then clinch him and started infighting..I think Peterson is a better inside fighter then Rios as well...

Then Peterson takes it if he does what you mentioned especially first six rounds.. I do think Rios is quite dangerous.

I actually think it would be easier than the Ant fight. People seem to forget the Ant fight was an even affair before Brandon started hurting him. Lamont doesn't have the same grit that Ant does and IMO would fold under the pressure Rios brings

I disagree, respectfully of course my friend.


People seem to forget that Peterson is a pretty damn good boxer and not just some inside fighter, since he went inside on Khan and put on the pressure but that was merely a product of his ability to adjust to his opponents. I do think Lamont indeed has the same type of grit Urbano has(and i really like Antillon for some reason), I just think for him he would be trying to outbox Rios and if he can last to the bell(I think Rios' power is pretty drastically overrated) barring any type of shady decision I'm sure he could UD him.

I think it's a pretty good fight, but I think Peterson is just a better fighter overall. Rios got outboxed to a disputed draw by feather fisted manny perez, now a replacement for Gamboa outclasses him. Hes a face first Oxnard brawler and hes exciting, but hes going to need to make some adjustments before he starts going after JMM and the big dogs.
