V. Klitcschko Return Confirmed

[enadeus]

Vitali Klitschko's return to the ring will come against WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter in Berlin on October 11th.

The contest will be the Ukrainian's first since he first announced his comeback last year. Health problems have left the 37-year-old unable to fight since then.

Although the two fighters' camps reached a deal on the fight back in May, the date and venue - the city's O2 World Arena - were only confirmed on Friday.

V. Kiltschko is 37? Wow. If he wins not much left for him, if he loses same scenario.

He's got 2 or 3 fights left, at least, if he wants to continue, and if he can remain uninjured. Truthfully, I think those injuries were somewhat of a fluke, happening back to back like that, but you have to remember his age, and how long he's been a top echelon athlete. Your body will start retiring you at a certain age, whether you like it or not, if you remain at those competetive levels for most of your life.

I don't think vitali will get whooped on and knocked out but I don't think he will win the fight either. Peter UD

Tell me your reasoning behind this, I gotta know.

How are injuries flukes? Either they happen or they don't, and in this case they did. If you're brittle and prone to injury, that doesn't improve over time.

I'll be at this one live.....Peter by UD

Flukes, in that they happened back to back like that, not that they happened. ANY athlete is more prone to injury than the average Joe on the street, but for two things to go wrong so close to each other is rare. Not unheard of, just rare. To my knowledge, he's not exactly prone to injuries, but he's not been overly lucky either. His rotator cuff (Byrd fight), then his leg, then his back. Three injuries don't necessarily make you prone, just unluckier than most, that's all.

If Vitali is half as good as he was 5 years ago, he will beat Peter badly.

I have Peter by knockout, no way Vitali can last twelve rounds with Peter's roughhouse tactics.
