Wlad Klitschko vs Sam Peter II... What are the thoughts?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

I think Wlad would knock him out earlier than last time. Despite looking better in his last performance, I wouldn't go as far as saying his stamina has improved, he just fought a way over the hill shot fighter. How can you not look impressive? At Peters age, he has the worst stamina I've ever seen. Even DLH wasn't that bad. lol I also think Wlads punching power is over rated, he hits harder than Peter. Haye is the only fighter right now with a chance to beat Wlad.

No his improvements came during and after the Toney fights...

He did improve from the Toney fights, but his most dramatic improvements were, as I said, before he fought Klitchko. Again, not saying he isn't constantly improving his technique and ring smarts, just that he's nearing his plateau and those improvements aren't as dramatic as they were early on.

Face it, Peter's only chance against Klitchko is a puncher's chance, tha'ts it. He simply cannot outbox Klitchko, and the chances of him winning any type of decision are infinitesimal. And since Klitchko ain't as easy to hit as he used to be, I don't see any way in hell he KO's Wlad. And with the NAI (New and Improved) Wlad, the one that is patient and waits for the right holes to open up for those big shots, also taking into consideration that Peter is hittable, always has been, and always will be, I'm confidently predicting a KO win for Klitchko before the 10th.

But I'll say this again, too....Peter simply didn't perform well enough in the first fight to deserve a rematch. He was very soundly outboxed, hurt late, and even with the KD's, didn't manage to get the judges to score it close enough to deserve the rematch. I don't see it happening for awhile, if ever. If Peter were to have another couple of dramatic wins against great prospects or contenders, then I'd say it's time for a rematch. But you can't expect names like Toney, McCline, or even Maskaev as the last few names on your resume to prove you're now worthy of looking at again. If he were to KO Haye, or Thompson (or both) in dramatic fashion, then I'd say hell yeah.

And all this talk is pointless, as Wlad has to get past Thompson meanwhile. I haven't seen Thompson fight, I'm sad to say, but his record, size, and numbers plainly state that he could be bigger trouble for Klitchko than anyone ever has been besides Sanders. I'm interested to see how Klitchko handles someone his own size with equal reach. Thompson doesn't appear to be a regular KO artist, but his win record is impressive regardless.

The fight will probably look the same as the first one. IF Sam Peter is in shape. Peter has looked like **** lately, as if his stamina has gotten worse. If he shows up against Klitschko the way he did against McCline and Maskaev, he will get stopped by Klitscho late.

I thin kWlad is the obvious edge... but if I had to pich which fighter has improved more? I would say Sam Peter has improved more from what he was than Klitschko has... Sam knocked him down 3 times... and Sam peter just shook off consecutive right hands... he now has a much better stiff jab and better mobility...

I dont think Wlad is as big a favorite as the odds makers will probably have you believe..

all 3 of those kd's were bogus. the third one was closest to legit but even that was mostly wlad panicking and getting off balance and mostly falling into the ropes

[beez721]

does one version of Maskaev suck any less than another? lol

did you not see maskeavs's last fight? hell,,even bum rahman would have beaten that version
