Vitali Klitschko Bested in Ukraine, On To Sam Peter

[ProBox1]

The news coming of out of Ukraine is that former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko lost for the second time in his bid for the mayor's seat in Kiev. Based on the current results, Leonid Chernovetsky had 33% of the vote, followed by Oleksandr Turchynov and Klitschko, each with about 20%. Klitschko finished second in a 2006 run. The second time around, Klitschko asked for help from the consulting firm run by former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Unlucky, least now he can concentrate on making a return to the ring

[The Hammer]

Yes, now he can completely focus on defeating Sam Peter. Despite the layoff, if he's 100% focused, he has a chance of winning.

And if he can then unify with the winner of Chagaev vs. Valuev, the Klitschko brother's dream of having all the heavyweight titles will become a reality.

yup, now he can be focused and hopefully more motivated. if he is anything like his old self, peter will be getting a classic ass whipping.

and for those ****s who think him winning is a bad thing or wlad's career, stuff it. it is not like vitali is planning to stick around for the next 5 years or anything.

Now I hope Vitali will consentret on boxing only and fight Sam Peter as soon as possible

[SkillspayBills]

Once he asked for Rudy's help he was done for. **** Guliani.

[MANGLER]

I always say if he stays healthy he can beat Sam but that remains to be seen. No camp is complete without an injury to Vitali.

Yes, now he can completely focus on defeating Sam Peter. Despite the layoff, if he's 100% focused, he has a chance of winning.

Tunney Ive been watching your avatars.

Will you ever put a BLACK fighter in it?

[Jim Jeffries]

Inactivity kills, and Vitali hasn't fought in three and a half years. He'll be 37 by the time the fight comes off, and I'll believe it when I see him make it through a training camp.
