    Diaz is a tad bit chinny and Anthony packs a little more of a wallop (against not great comp) than Lamont, so as much as I'd like for Ammeth to pull a Zappavigna on him, I think Peterson will stop him.

    See, that is my worry, that Diaz's chin fails him (and causes my prediction to look stupid) - but class tells.

    We have absolutely no idea whether Anthony Peterson has legit power. As you said yourself, his competition outside Rios has been mostly garbage.

    Even if he can bang, Diaz has managed to not get stopped by Gethin, Zappa, Angulo (in the rematch, though he was stopped by him in 2009)), Guzman, and Beltran - all of whom can whack a bit, so just having a bit of pop doesn't automatically guarantee you a stoppage over Diaz even though a whopping seven men have done it.

    He's a survivor, he's clever, he's awkward, he boasts a whole bag of veteran tricks, and he packs enough of a punch himself to keep anyone honest and land a game-changer of his own.

    I don't even know if this will be televised. :huh

    It really should be. Most competitive fight on the card on paper, by far.

    Good fight between two decent operators.... Diaz can punch but has been inactive lately ... Peterson brother of Lamont is more the stylist but will go into the trenches if he has too

    who wins?:good

    Hard one to call, I don't think Anthony is very good and he'll be exposed even further eventually but Diaz's chin may be just a little to weak to be the one who exposes him.

    Petersons career really came unstuck after the Rios fight

    I don't think Anthony is terrible, clearly he's not as professional as his brother but as I know next to nothing re: Diaz I'll have to take your word for it. You don't see a lot of 10 loss guys as very live underdogs.
