Peter looked great against Wlad the first time, pure will, heart and power and he was so close to take Wlads head off!! But i have never seen that Peter again, that was an unbeaten Peter. Im still a fan of Peter and hope he will be in shape and come to win he has to risk it all and be verry aggressive, he cant outbox Wlad but he can outfight him.

Peter hit Wlad twice to the back of the head... I wish Wlad to score a clean KO to avenge that dirty ****...Comment

I agree with Steward. Although Peter is a more seasoned boxer now, and if he gets his weight down to about 235 or so he will be faster, he still doesn't have the skills to beat Klitschko.
YES, he knocked him down 3 times.........but the 1st KD was a blatant, deliberate, rabbit punch for which he should have been DQ, and which WK alluded to in his after-fight interview; the 2rd was not a punch at all, it was a MISS, with a shoulder grab and and push to the canvas to which K also referred; the 3rd....if it WAS a hit (and this is debatable) it was a bare graze, and did not cause the trip to the canvas; that was caused by an overbalance into the ropes and a bounce down to the canvas. No question about it.
The final score reflected that although the purblind ref Randy Neumann gave Peter 3 KD's. Klitschko won every other round, giving Peter a boxing lesson.
He will likely do the same again, but it should be an entertaining fight.Comment

Wlad is far better now than the guy who beat Peter for the first time. His balance is better. That being said, this will be better than Wlad versus Povetkin. If Peter gets lucky and wins (highly unlikely), that gives Vitali another reason to give Peter yet another humiliating beating., maybe make him quit on his stool again. Peter will NEVER beat Vitali.Last edited by ChopperRead; 07-26-2010, 04:10 PM.Comment

Gee, yet that style worked so well for Ali -- though Ali only KO'd 60% of his opponents, while Wlad KO's 84% of them.
You must have been bored by Lennox, too, since Manny had him fight the same way Wlad does now.Comment

lol
Ali didn't just jab jab clinch. He could actually string combinations together, something the Klitschkos don't do except for the basic 1-2.Comment

no kidding not worried. Sammy couldn't beat Arreola. Heck I thought Petey was retired. What an easy fight for the commie klit.Comment

Yeah, Ali looked great against Wepner. And "The Klitschkos" are two different fighters and don't fight the same way. Vitali has *never* just relied on the jab. Wlad didn't as much until he hired Manny, who turned him into a bigger, stronger version of Lennox. Maybe some people find that boring, just like they found Lennox boring, but it's a winning style for a big, talented man.
Ali had MANY snoozey, clinch-filled, rope-a-dopey fights. And he only stopped 60% of his opponents. Overrated fighter at this point in time. His legend and the reality of him are two different things.Comment

The old Ali looked like crap thanks to all the legendary fights he was in. Doesn't change the fact that he could throw more punches and combinations than either Klit even knows exist.Comment

Ali's mystique largely came due to the fact that he was willing to fight anyone and won despite his shortcoming and his opponents talents rather then due to his own talentsComment
