one of the top skill fights out there...dias might have been a exposed a bit and i think peterson reach and height with key this victory...if the fight is at ww its going to be fun to watch peterson step up to that..i was rooting for a garcia rematch..but instead peterson just keeps on making his resume one of the best in boxing

Andre Dirrell should fight Marco Antio Perriban. It's only right, as his brother is fighting Marco Antonio Rubio.

wouldnt mind seeing him vs a bika...but if its undercard action i'm sure his opponent is not tough and i dont like that..i wanted to see him get back onthe saddle after the loss and become a champion

Didn't Bika move up to 175? What about J'Leon Love?

Well, it's a step up for Diaz for sure but the kid has skills and I really think they just didn't keep him active enough. I just hope Peterson comes to this fight clean...

bika did but i'm sure he's a floater..he has been before...and j'leon love would pretty much be labeled a sacrifice at this point..also love is on the mayweather undercard if im not mistaken
