Sam Peter in great shape

[bojangles1987]

Hopefully he is learning head movement and how to get past that jab as well. Probably not.

Should make for a more interesting fight if sams in good shape. Won't be enough to beat Wlad though who atm seems virtually unbeatable.........

any more pics ? is that a six pac :O ?

Peter's come into fights with a six pack before, I think in both the Toney fights and the first Wlad fight. He actually strikes me as quite a hard worker, but the fact that he's naturally stocky leads people to believe he's fat. I've said it before but I like Peter. He seems like a good guy and someone who's able to ramp up his training for big occasions. So when people compare him to Arreola it makes steam emit from my ear canals with a slight whistling sound.

If you watch the early rounds of the Vitali fight Peter actually is moving his head quite a bit in an effort to get in to batter Vit's midsection. His team obviously did a lot of work for that fight, but Vitali was just too good to be denied. I expect Peter to have a similar gameplan against Wlad, but again, I suspect his opponent will be just too good for him.

I agree, Peter is much more dedicated than a guy like Arreola. Peter's shape and natural strength means he should be coming in at the weights he does. Physical condition is not the reason he has never been a star, it's purely lack of skills.

I think Wlad will win the fight,i just would not be surprised if Sam caught him with a big punch and kod him.

Huh? When has Wlad ever been KOed with a single shot? In fact when has Wlad been KOed period? All his stoppages have come via TKO. This myth of Wlad having a glass jaw needs to be put to rest (no pun intended). He took many big shots in the first Peter fight, was knocked down three times (two borderline illegal) got up each time and went on to win the fight. If Peter does win by stoppage it'll be from a TKO after Wlad has already hit the canvas several times.

I'd be very surprised. I'm a Sam Peter fan, but Wlad has improved a great deal since then. Peter won't get inside that jab this time, trust me. It doesn't help that he's been on a steady diet of nobodies since his stoppage loss to Vitali. I hope you're right, but I don't see it.

why would anyone want peter to win this?

I don't understand why anyone ever thought it was going to be interesting....

In reality, the first fight was so lopsided I don't see how this one can be any different. Peter had Klit briefly hurt, sort of anyway (it was more Klit being a little gassed than anything), and couldn't even take the slightest bit of advantage from it.

Klit just boxed circles around him. This fight, if anything, will be more one sided and probably a hell of a lot more boring too.

True, he's not the most talented guy, but I still think he's more talented that Arreola, with a mite less aggression and heart. He has a good, solid jab which he can pump out in twos and threes, pretty quick hands for a guy his size, and a good ability to mix up his punches to body and head when he has his opponent against the ropes. Arreola actually makes me cringe when he throws his amateurish looping arm punches and the way in which it looks like he's fighting in slow motion.
