Vitali Klitschko: "I'll Knock Sam Peter Out Within Six"

[Machine Gunz]

anyone saying vitali doesnt hit harder than wlad are wrong, vitali is that little bit slower than wlad but he has heavier hands. i dont believe ring rust or vitali's timing being off will come into play, as im sure he would've had quality sparring in the 3 year lay-off and quality sparring leading upto the fight.

vitali will stop peter. anyone interested in a bet?

[Machine Gunz]

It's on now, baby. As long as Vitali is healthy, Peter is going down. I don't see it going less than 9 rounds though, I'm sure Vitali will be pacing himself in the first half of the fight to shake that 3-year layoff off. WAR VITALI!

if vitali is to win peter's title, could we possibly see a vitali/haye fight down the line? no one has talked of this possibility


btw, that dimitrenko guy in your sig reminds me of Ivan Drago

I'll be shocked if Peter doesn't kill him.

i wanna get my first bet up on the board, ill bet you 1k that he doesnt stop peter. you in?

Thanks. You're right, people call Vitali robotic but one thing is for sure - his fights are never boring.

Never boring? You forgot fights against Timo Hoffmann, Larry Donald, Chris Byrd.... They were all boring.

The most interesting fight from Vitali was against Corrie Sanders and his lost to Lennox Lewis.

I am picking Peter also, BUT he better be on his toes and ready to fight at the first bell. Vitali will try to box him and drop bombs. Peter has a good chin but these are heavyweights. Lennox said it best about getting KO'd, "We are the big boys. One shot can put anyone down at this size."

If Wlad couldn't KO Peter I have a hard time believing Vitali will. I also don't think he doesn't nearly hit as hard either. After coming off of injury & this long layoff I favor Peter.

Yea, your theory makes sense. Vitali has a higher KO percentage and has only let one fighter make it out of a fight he was not injured in.

Another thing. If Jameel McCline can almost KO Peter and Wlad can wobble him with a jab/hook halfheartedly thrown, I'm pretty sure a guy with like a 92% KO ratio and a partial win against Lennox "F'in" Lewis will be able to stop him.

Actually, Vitali has always been more outspoken than Wlad. Not in a bad way, but they both have different personalities. An example was when Vitali challenged Corrie Sanders in the ring right after Sanders KO'd his younger brother.

Yea, that was great! Vitali went over and pointed at the belt as if to say , "im going to take that belt from you since you took it from my brother". Then Sanders patted him on the cheek and you could tell that Vitali got pissed as hell. I knew from that second that Vitali was going to punish his ass and that's exactly what happened.

Now, after seeing them side by side at the press conference I "KNOW" that Vitali will punish Peter to a KO. He is way smaller than VK and nowhere near as fast as Corrie "The Sniper" was , nor as accurate. Vitali has a mean streak and if he says that he will do something, I tend to believe that. I became a believer back when he fought Lewis and he has done nothing to prove that he will not be able to handle Peter "IF" he is healthy.
