One of those people in that photo really is a nightmare for boxing.

Has anyone heard Peter complain about a slave contract.....I haven't and I don't suppose anyone will. After this fight I hope that oprobrious appellation is swept into the garbage dump where it came from.....I mean Haye's backyard.

Not to mention the multitudes of imbeciles and near cretins who post on this site.

Wow, Peter looks in remarkable shape.

I wonder if the knockdowns and general rough nature of their previous fight will come into play; will it affect Wlad's confidence and make him perform with more trepidation? Will Peter be coming in with a lot of it knowing that he has the power to hurt and worry his opponent?

Porbably gonna be Wlad's most exciting fight in a long time this.

Peter does look in better shape - maybe he has had his hair cut?

At least he has gotten into better shape..I still think Wlad is maturing as fighter very quickly lately and Steward will push him to come out swinging!

Wlad by KO in 6

Interesting how Bob Arum and Wladimir Klitschko had no problems with negotiations for this fight.

Shows that Haye and Povetkin were just making excuses to avoid Wlad.

People are acting like Wlad was hit by brutal and relentless punches by peter. That his jaw was falling off due to the punishment. He got rabbit punched and pushed to the ground. He was never really hurt. People need to watch the fight. Peter should have had points deducted or been dq'ed...not given points for knockdowns.

Sam Peter is a brave fighter and contender. The last time against Wladimir , he did not do any bad in knocking Wladimir down and lasting the distance against him , if anything , he deserved a rematch after that.
But I feel his fights against Vitali and McCline , in which he really lost in both , wore him as a fighter . I wish him good health but 4 fights against such men are not healthy and are even too brave.

But maybe if Wlad was fighting instead of clinching (which also indicates something) then he would not have been hit by them ? is clinching legal ?
So maybe it is Wlad who should have been deducted points.

This fight is pointless. So is the Briggs and Vitali. The Klit brothers are just too damn good right now.

This fight has some point , Peter did last the distance against Wlad the previous time , however , Vitali vs. Briggs is pointless indeed.
I say the Klit brothers are simply the only 2 reasonably trained and disciplined big men in the world now , not that they are that good , but it is still enough to leave everyone else as a huge underdog currently.
