Peterson VS Rios

I think Rios takes a close decision.

Rios stops him late.

 

Rios easy ko

 

peterson loves to fight inside and that is Rios' territory.

 

hard to beat rios inside, at 140 he should come stronger.

 

I'd take Lamont to outbox Rios over the distance.

 

Tough style match for Peterson but still think it's a pick em fight.

 

Well rounded definitely, outbox him probably. But knock him out bro? Anthony is the harder puncher with a bigger right hand I dont think Lamont would do that, but a stoppage maybe? I doubt that one too as well.

I think Lamont is an intelligent fighter seen his interviews and you can say he fought a smart fight because.he didn't let Khan set the tempo and fight Khans fight. If, and thats a big if, he can find a way to neutralize Rios power and outbox and outwork Rios Lamont can win a split decision. Rios seems to have an easy to beat style but maybe Anthony would be able to help Lamont on some pointers. One thing about Lamont he does open up alittle too much on his shots. If Rios doesnt end up respecting Lamonts power or start making mistakes due to frustration Rios will steamroll over anyone. Rios can be behind on points and a left hook will be all it takes. Interesting fight. I still think Bradley is the better man to possibly beat Rios as he's a better boxer than Lamont. Quicker hands and feet and very aggressive on the inside.

 

Peterson isn't a 1 punch KKO artists, but he troubled Khan, Ortiz, and Bradley enough to where they respect his power, so I beleive Rios would as well.

Also we don't know how Rios's power carries up to 140, personally I doubt he hits as hard as Ortiz and he difinitely doesn't throw as compact as Ortiz.

I figure if Lamont implements the same game plan he used the 2nd half of the Ortiz fight when he was simply turning him into heavy shots and keeping the distance it will be an easy fight for Lamont.

 

Some of you really think that highly of Rios? Do you all consider him skillful or just tough as nails?

 

Rios by murder
