L. Peterson vs Rios

[Eladio-Mor]

I think Peterson is smart enought to not **** with the bigger ****er. Berry Hunter and A Peterson would be very familiar with Rios . so I am sure they will have a multiple plans that night.

I think that Rios will be in for a rude awakening at 140. Not only will he lack the physical advantages that he was used to at 135 by draining himself into a grotesque zombie, but he won't have the same type of power. There is a big difference between the John Murray's of the world and people like Lucas Matthysse or even Lamont Peterson in this case. As long as Peterson fights smart, I can see him wearing down and stopping Rios late since Rios has been extremely susceptible to being hurt by body punches as he's been hurt and dropped by them. If Rios comes in at 155+ or so and drains himself like he always does, then things start to get very interesting.

Co sign Rio only has one style one plan of attack. His style is only good as his chin . That style doesn't go to well when your moving up . Look at Margo he could never win one single fight at 154. I am talking about Margo early career at 154 .

Wow. This a true pick em fight . Let's hope Santa is hearing are calls this year. Make it happen Arum

I think if Peterson and Riis were to fight I would favor Peterson. The reason I would have to favor Peterson is that he is more versatile. Plus we all know he can adjust very well. The biggest factor is that Rios won't have 15lbs over Peterson. It will be a good hard fight but I see LP winning a wide UD it will be Cotto vs Margo 2 .

Peterson made Amir Khan uncomfortable is why i think he did so well but i think Rios will make Peterson uncomfortable if they fight and stop him late in the fight.

I respect your opion I guess the question are more about Rios. Like will he bring his punching power with him and will his chin be the same.. Peterson already stated that Rios style will be very inviting. He rather fight a guy like Rios over Kahn

I will leave my take on what i think about rios vs lamont (which was addressed to another poster)


people think that rios will have a better chance because of his win against anthony.

but the peterson brothers do not fight identical. on the outside they have a identical stance. thats it. lamont has a better jab, much better head movement, much better stamina. the problem with anthony on the outside is he's not good on his toes (or slipping punches) anthony peterson has little to NO fundamentals on the outside while lamont has a vast amount. anthony peterson is more of a knock off of lamont, lamont is also much more relaxed then anthony. anthony is always screaming & trying to out muscle you. lamont follows the game plan for 12 rounds & makes the proper adjustments to beat you.....so no. they don't fight identical. similar stance, but thats where it ends. also I'm not sure that anthony even has more power then lamont. in fact i think lamont has more power then anthony because lamont's fights are at a higher weight against MUCH tougher competition. anthony also don't know what a body shot is, while lamont RIPS them.

& heres the NUMBER ONE THING THAT SEPARATES LAMONT FROM ANTHONY. anthony has actually fought no one besides rios........he's really still kind of a prospect. lamont has fought everyone. bradley, khan, cayo, ortiz.


but back to rios..........i see this as a easy fight for lamont because i feel that rios won't know what to do with lamont on the outside, & lamont will mix it up on brandon. he'll pick at him on the outside & come in on the inside & get the better of him & then go back to picking at him on the outside.........heres the thing with rios. rios needs distance. i don't buy at ALL that rios is a better inside fighter vs lamont. i think rios likes to be CLOSE TO HIS OPPONENT. but that's not inside fighting....that's just letting your hands go when you close the distance. being in your chest & letting off 5 shots to the body (while stepping to the side & wacking you with a right) thats inside fighting. you can also smother & turn your opponent on the inside & wack at him when he least expects it (which is another thing that lamont loves) thats fundamentals.........lamont is very fundamentally gifted. he does a lot of little things. he can walk forward while slipping all of your punches for goodness sakes........fundamentals.

i don't think rios will be prepared for lamonts inside & outside game.........also if lamont finds out that one thing is working through out the fight, he won't feel a need to make further adjustments. if he feels like he can just jab rios to death from the outside. he'll do that for 12 rounds.
