Rios was all wrong for Anthony. The Petersons are too easy to force into a phonebooth since they favor their body attacks so much, Rios was the last guy he wanted to be in close with.
I think Broners style would fit him a little more. He's still a really good fighter who doesn't get any attention or dates these days. I wouldn't favor him, but it would definitely be a good fight. He'd be outsized yet again though. He was 139 (gained 4lbs) against Rios, Broner has been 145-147 on fight night. It's possible he may impose his will the way he did with Escobedo again, seeing as how it worked with Rios you can definitely argue that's not where Peterson likes it... but then I don't know if I'm willing to say Broner is as effective as rios in that range.
Still, it's a fight that I'd finally give Broner his respect on. High risk low reward. Ant probably knows a thing or two about TRT too :P
