    same thing i said when I saw his weight on fight night,
    I dont like adding rules to boxing because it fine the way it is but, Gatti really hurt alot of guys coming in 19 pounds over on fight night
    an old used up Oscar De La Hoya may be in trouble but a Prime young Fighter can kill somebody

    I think the unofficial weights were like compubox numbers.

    Peterson gained 5lbs from the weigh in, nobody lost weight.

    Gotta say, watching the fight he seemed so much stronger inside, his shots seemed so much harder to, that said, Peterson should shoulder some of the blame for laying inside and banging it out with him.

    Peterson should of done what he was doing early, which was jab and move, he tried to go back to moving laterally, but he was not jabbing, plus, by then Rios had smelled blood, he was in the mindset to walk right to Peterson by then.

    Didn't mean to imply that he did.
