Khan v Peterson II....19th May....mandalay bay Las Vegas

[shza]

Well what happen to Peterson vs JMM?

Who cares -- this is the fight that should be happening. I'm no fan of Kahn but the first fight would have been his if not for the questionable point deductions. And it was a close, competitive fight either way -- definitely worth a rematch.

JMM should fight Guerrero or, better, Rios.

Agree, glad rematch is on. Thinking if Khan keeps his cool and boxes he can get a pull it off. But I dont think that heffer Rios has done a thing to earn JMMs caliber and or name as a marque match.

Also happy to see this rematch, as for Marquez his best option now imo is Rios. Possibly
Guerrero, other than that what other options does he have?

I don't see him going back to 135 yet again. I see the total opposite with Marquez having been a live possibility for a Bradley, Peterson vs Khan etc and a Manny who he just went even up with if not beat. He'll wait for dust to settle or count on Rios bringing something to the table other than a big push and irritating laugh . Marquez is the great here. Rios is in a bit of limbo sleepwalking through last go and needs a big scalp in a bad way. Either knuckle down and make 135 which I don't think he can do or at least have a go at 140-147 ish, at least officially anyway.

No need to go back to 135 for those fights. Rios can't legitimately make that weight anymore and Guerrero clearly has no attachment to it either, given his calling out of Floyd and then Ortiz at 147.

And +1 on Rios's laugh. You have to admit it would be fun to watch him get hit with flush counter after flush counter by JMM.

Khan should win it this time and probably the reason why he has paid a kings ransom to secure the rematch.

It will be a close fight again but I lean slightly towards Khan to take it 115-113. Peterson will make a real fight of it though and I wouldn't be surprised if he won.

I like how Peterson handled the decision. He didn't take any of Khan's lowly deals and planned out other options as well.

Truth of the matter is, when Khan lost the decision, he didn't spend any time considering how he could have fought differently in that ring. He whined like a woman. Peterson is smart enough to plan this one out.

Khan isn't going to learn again until he gets beaten severely like he did against Prescott. His ego is too big for his own good.

Just to note, I read that he has been working a lot on fighting on the inside and getting out of the inside if he is bad position while there.
