Brandon Rios is the real deal!

And back on to Rios...I thought he looked really good and look forward to seeing him stepping it up some more down the road.

I thought he looked good against a mentally weak opponent who could not adapt to his pressure. Despite this, Peterson was landing almost at will and if he had any power I think the outcome would have been very different. I'm intrigued by the prospect of a Ortiz - Rios match, I think it would be a foty candidate, but I would expect Ortiz to stop him.

Okay, the thread has been cleaned up. It goes without saying, but racist comments of any kind will not be tolerated here.

i second that cfh. rios outweighed peterson by at least 10 pounds on fight night he is not going to enjoy that against ortiz.

Rios was very impressive, but the weight disparity is concerning. He is very exciting & I am interested to see him progress from here. Anyone for a Katsidis fight?

Peterson is idiotic for fighting the fight he fought, although I always thought Anthony to be the more undisciplined of the two. But yeah mentally weak is right, because Peterson has serious talent but it looks like it's squandered. Rios is a good little pressure fighter though, but like Spicoli I'm just not sure that he's ready for Soto. I could be wrong though, I thought Peterson was a worse matchup for Rios then his previous opponent Antillon was (I'm a big fan of both Antillon too) but after finally watching the fight I can see I'm dead wrong. Would love to see that Ortiz/Rios bout.
