I really wish this was the main event on a fight night card. This fight deserves 5 rounds.

If it ain't broken, It's not Pettis.

I hope Eddie wins. Pettis will probably start his climb back to an ass whoopin' from dos Anjos tho.

Pettis wins. That is if he is humbled.

What is a humble Pettis as opposed to an arrogant one? He never really leaves his guard down, over looks his opponents or taunts/showboats. He seems very injury proned but his work ethic always seemed fantastic and he's technically efficient on a level most would only dream. Dos Anjos beat that ass but I fail to see why Pettis needs to be humbled, because he wears suits and is on cereal boxes?

I feel that he went into the RDA fight like it would be a walk in the park. Many of his fans acted the delivers way.

Pettis too diverse of a mixed martial Artist . Especially now that his wrestling coach is Izzy

Both guys have the talent, but my question is can Alvarez counter the speed and power of Pettis and I really don't think so.

Like in almost all of Eddie's fights, he will get rocked, but he will not recover in this one...

Prediction: wrong Pettis wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

Speed, power, size, age, length, athleticism, varierty, Pettis owns every single advantage in this fight except for maybe pure boxing. But this isn't a boxing match.

Eddie's resilient, but so is Pettis (you don't survive 5 rounds with final form RDA if you're not).

I don't see Eddie winning this.

Only way Eddie wins is by LNP. Guida did it albeit it was years sgo.

Prediction: correct Alvarez correct Decision

I think Alvarez has a better shot then people are suggesting. For one Pettis will not hold his normal speed advantage. I think Alvarez can win by pressuring Pettis against the cage and going for take down, I think this can allow him to land in his range while letting him control the fight. Pettis should be the favored, but I think Avarez is a live dog.
