At 20/1 it would be a pretty good bet. It think Peter is 1.5/1 underdog.
I'd have him closer to maybe 3/1, to 3.5/1 underdog, but yeah, I think the Klitchko hype should drive the odds deeper than they should be. Dunno how dramatic the difference will be, though.
Cant decide 50/50. If it was before Vitali retired, I'd pick Vitali easily.
I am against this fight. If Vitali wins, there is little chance that the belts will be unified, although there was a good chance that wasnt gonna happen anyway.
I got points that say Vitali wins by decision rather than a stoppage if anyone is interested. Peter is tough and will roughing up Vitali enough to survive, but not enough to win himself. Obviously if Vitali lands an absolute flush bomb, then Peter goes down, but I think this one goes to the cards.
Age and Ring Rust.. are a concern BUT even a Vitali at 50% is still way too much for Sam Peter.. Plus Vitali has a chin... I give the fight 8 rounds tops.. and will be very surprised if it's competitive..
The poll results are unbelievable. I am a fan, but I didn't think that majority of people will pick a semi-retired fighter to beat somebody who is regarded as one of the heaviest punchers in the division.
I keep getting the feeling that Vitali will injure himself again.
That's because Peter is a crude, slow fighter that only has power. Vitali has superior skills and an Iron Jaw (never been knocked down), thereby taking away Peter's punchers chance.
The only way Peter wins over Vitali is if VK gets injured IMHO.
