I was unhappy Wlad was fighting Sam Peter again when it was announced, but....

Peter is actually looking pretty good these days. He's fighting almost twenty pounds lighter than he was against Vitali (and I thought he had gained weight) and ten pound lighter than he was when he fought Wlad back in 2005. Damn.

Watching his last fight against Aguilera, he's still got the heavy hands. He also looks as easy to hit as he ever was, but I think he's really going to leave camp in the best shape he's ever been in. I don't think Peter ever dreamed he'd actually get the chance for *another* shot at the Klitschkos, not to mention three straps.



His right is still huge, and he even works in a few crisp lefts in.

As for Wlad; I'm sure he'll be Wlad and come to dominate.

I'm excited. Let's fookin' 'ave it!

i hope sam peter comes in at at least 240 pounds

[bojangles1987]

He has to go in knowing he won't win a decision, and base his strategy on getting inside of Wlad and trying to stop him. He did put him down three times before, say what you want about the KDs themselves, so we may get an exciting fight here, or at least as competitive as anyone can give Wlad in this division.

You think Peter is a hot looking man now?

[street bully]

Sorry, but I don't see it. Wlad isn't Maskaiev.

The fact that he's got into better shape at this stage in his career than in his championship fight against Wlad back in 2005, when he was undefeated, is pretty damn impressive.

He's hungry (literally i'm sure) and has nothing to lose this time around.

Just joking about that.

Yes I agree. Sam Peter is a dangerous opponent when he's in shape. He definitely has a chance because of his power, Wlad needs to be careful and very focused.

[Spray_resistant]

Even if is in better shape his chances of winning are still roughly the same if not worse than the 1st fight because he is in better shape than recently like the Vitali and Chambers fights but he was in good shape for the 1st Wlad fight and 5 years later Wlad is much better technically.

[King Of Ring]

strongest contender out there unlike valuev, haye and povetkin who got scared

[Tobi.G]

An in shape and motivated Peter is one of the best opponents the Klitschkos could find right now but still hes the underdog. With his physicall strenght and punch he has a punchers chance against Wlad though. Im not shure what Peter has still to offer but im excited. If he would see it just as another payday he would come in overweight again but it looks hes training verry hard to be as good as he can. He has to pressure Wlad as hard as he can and make him feel uncomfortable and unsecure. Wlad is not used to be in tough fights and i still think he looks bad when its getting tough because he cant deal with it.
