Would Sam Peter have been knocked out in the 9th round if he didn't quit in the 8th?

Probably not in the 9th round but he would have been KO eventually.....Am surprise he wasnt KO in the first round after watching the fight now.

I actually think from the 4th round onwards Peter's punchers chance was gone. Vitali could have just nailed him with right hands without even bothering with jabs. Peter was that bad.

[BattlingNelson]

I doubt it. Peter showed a tremendous chin and he took a lot of heavy rights all night. Punches that would have KO'ed most heavies.

That being said I think that the ref would have stopped it in a few rounds, but I cannot see Peter be counted out.

[Scary]

Honestly I think he'd have made it to the 10-12th round. But he would have gotten his ass beat.

Peter was definitely that bad, I mean an inactive fighter like Vitali could see peter's punches coming alway the way because he was slower than a lawnmower.

I'm pretty sure Peter knew he could not go another round better than those who do not think he was gona get stopped on this thread. To even argue the point makes no sense now. Peter saved the inevitable KO ending.

Vitali couldnt hurt Peter after landing like 150 power punches so he would have gone 1 more round definately.

[PBDS]

not even. peters was'nt hurt, just beaten. if it were'nt for the open scoring he would have kept going imo. knocked out, no way. vitali did'nt hit him with anything that could have dropped him. frustration is a *****.

...Well, it's Sam Peter not Sam Peters. I hate when people don't get that. Anyway, the open scoring had nothing to do with the quitting. Duva said after the fight that they knew they were behind 8-0 anyway so the open scoring didn't mean ****. His own promoter didn't use the open scoring as an excuse so get off of that ****.

I think so..I think Vitali was just getting him preped for a ko round 9 or 10.He would not have survived past the 10th.

[sylvestersweet]

He would have gone down in the 11th if not earlier.

[MetalVomit]

that doesnt make any sense. even the worst corrupt judges in the world couldnt have had peter within shouting distance. peter had to have known he needed a knockout to win. that fight was as one sided as it gets

I'm not saying he or his corner would think he was winning, or that he was within shouting distance of getting a bull**** decision, I just think if they wouldn't have heard the open scoring, Peter would have gone out for more punishment, nothing suggested he had any chance of coming from behind, especially considering how tough of a chin Vitali has demonstrated in the past.
