King Feels Samuel Peter Can Bounce Back Strong

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Don King says former WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter can bounce back in a strong way after suffering the first loss of his career to Vitali Klitschko. Two weeks ago in Germany, Peter was dominated by Klitschko for eight rounds and was unable to come out for the ninth. [details]

Author, do your homework. This is the second loss of his career. Unless you're counting two Klitschko brothers as one.

I think is should have been first stoppage loss.

Peter needs to get his weight down and train hard, his dedication to boxing seems to not be as high as it used to be.

Probably, but editing was in order, I think.

On the side note, King is certifiably senile IMO, calling the President, Vice-President, and Governor to help Peter to become a champion again. I don't think he himself understands what's coming out of his mouth lately.

He's pretty fat, I'd imagine that he would have bounced off the canvas very strongly if he continued fighting.

Sam Peter needs to work on how to get inside a long, fast jab. Both Klitschkos used the same strategy to defeat him.

We see too many boxers stand on the outside against those two and the Klitschkos, especially Wladimir more than Vitali, have a tough damaging jab that will rip a guy up if they stand at a distance. While a healthy Vitali could probably absorb a Peter barrage (If that powerful Lennox uppercut, that would have dropped any other heavy at the time, didn't put Vitali down in their fight, then only age will drop him), Wladimir showed he had trouble when Peter got inside and landed some clean head shots in the last rounds on their fight. However, we have never seen Peter reproduce the physical conditioning he had in that first Wlad fight. Perhaps a few less "yes men" around Peter and more focus on his cardio will improve him in the future. Time will tell. Who cares how much he weighs, it is the heavyweight division, but what does matter is the cardio shape he is in to last 12 rounds and keep his power throughout the fight, as he was able to do against Wladimir, even while taking a vicious beating from Wlad.

A lot of people are hard on Peter, but he has only lost twice - to the two best heavyweights in the division. Don't confuse the personality of Sam Peter with his loser loudmouth trash talking promoter who disrespects everyone. Focus on the boxer and what he does in the ring, not what all the "yes men" and his idiot promoter say when they hog the microphone at press conferences.
