Shocker: Vitali Klitschko the Betting Favorite over Sam Peter

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a surprising development, Vitali Klitschko, who hasn't fought in nearly four years, has opened in some sportsbooks as the betting favorite over WBC heavyweight titlist Samuel Peter. [details]

i think its because everyone knows what he can do on HIS day...plus he is bigger and stronger than his brother. And we know what he did to peter...

[Pugilistic™]

I do hope the inactivity doesn't have any affect on Vitali.

[Silencers]

Peter would be a pretty good bet as the underdog, it's a toss up fight IMO.

Because Vitali is still a name and to be honest Peter is technically limited.

im a vitali fan but this is too much, there has never been someone with a 4 year inactivity to come back and win a title
my money is on peter

First time for everything. I can't see Peter winning this at all. He's too limited, both offensively and defensively, to handle Klitchko. I can see why Klitchko is the favorite, I'd have the same odds if I were a sportsbookie giving a line on this fight.

That is kind of a surprise for me. I thought that given Vitali's age and inactivity the odds would have been in favour of Peter, he just seems the safer option for mine. Not to say Klit can't win though.

Taking Klitschko is the safer pick. He he beats Peter in every aspect aside from age and activity. I have to believe that he has kept in shape during his layoff with sparring and partial training with Wladimir. Plus, what better sparring partner can you get besides the current heavyweight champ?

Klitschko >KO9 Peter

[Leo Pradun]

Vitali is too smart to have Peter land a looping punch on him, cause thats only way Peter punches with looping shots. Vitali has an uppercut that Peter gets hit and hurt by as seen in Mccline fight. Should be a good fight, still got over a month to go, long time...
