Samuel Peter is a Citizen of the World

[Hagler★]

samuel peter has an iron chin. good power... all he has to do is to practise more boxing and get his stamina up and his speed. lose a little bit of weight. if he does that, no one will be able to beat him...

if he doesn't do that, i'm pretty sure vitali will knock his lights out.

he has a decent chin i have seen him get hit and sway like a palm tree in the wind he does need to work on his boxing as he seems to club but i have faith he will bring the title back to nigeria

Thanks, maybe I missed that, when I come across it I'll watch it again. I've never thought much of K's left hook since it really isn't the classic, correct left hook, but more like a left jab suddenly becoming, 3/4 way there, a sort of hook, to try to get around a defensive glove, Therefore, it won't have his shoulder and body behind it, since he's veered away from his "power source". I can't see how he can ever get REAL power on it.

But if you say he delivered one with real power, then he must occasionally do it. The analysts are always talking about him being the only heavyweight who converts a left jab into a left hook, but I have a different concept of what a left hook really is.

For me, a left hook both begins and ends as a left hook which allows it to gather and deliver real power.

The most perfect left hook I've seen in over 50 years was that of Floyd Patterson...nothing else like it in boxing.

generally he does tend to arm punch and not get full leverage on it,,but occasionally he does ( as in the austin,,shufford and a few other fights). he surely doesnt get his full body behind it as a frazier or tommy morrison but he's so damn big and strong even his arm punches knock you silly,,plus he has speed which makes it difficult for opponents to see. frazier,,,morrison and brewster have great hooks with full power behind them. I loved morrsion's. so damn short quick and explosive. his left hook against art tucker was a beauty

When you look at it, and have already listened to Sam on TV, you can see that this must be a product of his PR crapper-ite, copying his bluster, but using words he's never heard of. The Duva group used to use a guy calling himself "Big Media Buzz" and in my opinion, he wrote the most atrocious Drek. Whenever I would mention this, I'd get a very angry letter from a guy named Andre Courtemanche, who obviously was the "Big Media Buzz". We'd have some "to-and-fro" with him getting angrier, more offensive, and less intelligent as it progressed. Then he'd stop.

I don;t know if he still does their PR, but Sam Peter's regurgitations are so putrid, that I suspect that he does. I don't think he's too bright, although he has some editorial position in one of the boxing web sites, can't remember which.

It doesn't take much to write the usual PR crap which the boxing "stables" issue all the time, but some are much better than others...........

Sam's isn't one of them.

I just thought that maybe THAT'S the reason they are called "STABLES" because of the amount of dung they produce.......................

Normally, when he throws a left jab (a straight left in my parlance) it is picture perfect, like an illustration ofr what a jab should be. The same goes for his right cross, which is a perfect shot. BUT...since-and including- his Sam Peter fight, henhas not been throwing his left with his shoulder, body and legs behind it. And the same goes for his right cross, he throws it at about 50-60% power.

I know that the reason, as laid out by Manny Steward several times already on TV is, that [he can beat his opponents down with less than full power,and ] if he misses, he wouldn't be out of position, and vulnerable to a hefty counter. As you may notice, regardless of the punch he throws, and not counting the clinches he goes into sometimes when he misses, he is never out of position whether he connects or misses.

And if by some unforseen chance he does momentarily get caught out of place, his foot speec is such that he can rectify it before his opponent can take any advantage.

He actually has boxing down to a "science" [rather than an "art"]
