Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko: 'If Povetkin Passes, I'll Fight Sam Peter'

[Kilrain]

Sam Peter is a disgrace for the way he fought Vitali. The word 'fought' shouldn't even be used, matter of fact.

[TheGreatA]

Peter could present some problems if he fights like he did the last time. Unfortunately he doesn't really have the skills to make it interesting, but he has the clubbing power and the strength to keep Wladimir off of him.

However I predict another clinical effort by Klitschko comparable to the Vitali-Peter fight. Peter may have gotten himself into shape but he is not mentally the same fighter he used to be.

[Bennett]

peter is getting it together but wlad is not the same fighter 5 years ago. he'll coast to victory this time around

i actually think he'll stop peter this time. did u see peters last fight? i know he did get the stoppage but looked like ****t in doin it. sam is like a espn fighter now, minor leagues.

[Mr.Crust]

Haye's the one who pulled out of the fights.

With good reason.

[Tiozzo]

I guess all we have to do now is to hope Povetkin takes the fight...

[Sweet Jesus]

I'd rather see Wlad-Povetkin. Povetkin is 30. He's not getting any younger.

Haye >>> Peter.

I think Pop, that you should put that misinformation to reast-for good. I refer to the supposed 3 KD's by Peter of W. Klitschko. I constantly see it. All you NEED to do is listen to the commentary, which correctly points out that the 1st KD was a blatant rabbit punch, directly to the back of Klitschko's neck. The second was an equally egregious shoulder clutch and push down.

As for the third, the only non foul, Klitschko fell backwards into the ropes, avoiding Sam's last desperate swing, bounced off the ropes to the canvas. The fact that he got up right away and continued his boxing lesson clearly shows that the punch either just missed, or just grazed. Take your pick, but Klitschko was NOT KD from the punch, he overbalanced and fell.

Fact should triumph fiction, but because it's a Klitschko, the negative seems to win out.

The writer does his job. Everybody knows 2 KD out of the 3 were basically Peter throwing Wlad to the mat using fouls. But here, the thing is they were all ruled legitimate KD by the referee. So no misinformation there. And don't even try, the thrid one was as legitimate as it can get. A left hook caught Wlad who stumbled back on the ropes and went down.

It's as if you were asking a writer : ''Please, don't say Louis won the first fight against Walcott, if you listen to the commentary and everybody else, Walcott definitely won the fight.''

You can't. So just make a man out of yourself, and take it : your boy will go down in history as a man floored 3 times by the nigerian nightmare.

Make it happen, Wlad steadily improves his boxing, and Peter is apparently taking his conditioning more seriously now. There is only one way to find out what would happen, make it happen. Peter has a better chance of knocking off Wlad than most other heavyweights.

You can't. So just make a man out of yourself, and take it : your boy will go down in history as a man floored 3 times by the nigerian nightmare.

To be fair though, history says that Chavez-Whittaker was a draw, no one refers to it as a draw though. Wlad had 3 KDs ruled against him in the fight, and some will hold him to that, but anyone who watches it will know that 2 of them weren't knockdowns, as you stated.

i actually think he'll stop peter this time.

I should hope so. Vitali made him quit, and Wlad has improved since the first fight with Peter. I'm thinking it'll be a late-ish TKO.

Sam Peter?? haha

What a joke the klit brothers are,
