    It stayed the same which means he is still the best HW in the world who can dominate any other fighter put in front of him.

    IDK what critics expect, he is never just going to run at an opponent swinging wildly to produce a 1st rd ko.

    I wonder whether some ppl who call him boring have ever even seen him fight before, that fight went exactly the way I thought it would.

      It dropped drastically imo. He looked one dimensional and afraid to engage.
      That's how he always looks to me.

          it was just an awful fight. it was a clinchfest. peter swingin with wild hooks, and wlad was too cautious as usual. last 20 seconds were good, but after watching that, im not surprised hbo dont want them on their channel.

            I thought it was an absolute barnburner. Not only do I want to watch that fight again 24/7, but I want it inserted into me intravenously.

            What concerns me about Wlad is how balls-to-the-wall and careless he gets. I was screaming at the TV "stop giving him so many chances, Wlad - initiate a clinch!" But grabbing hold just isn't in Wlad's makeup.

              His stock stayed exactly the same. Klitschko is a great fighter, but the only relevant threat in the HW division right now is David Haye, and unless they come to some sort of agreement, these match-ups don't mean a lot. On a worldwide level, unless the promotion reads Klitschko - Haye, nobody is interested. It speaks a lot about the HW division, when Haye vs Harrison will become the biggest money spinner this year.

              Hopefully Wlad accepts Haye (UK money) - Wlad (German money) revenue split. I doubt Haye is going to move on the other offer even though I think he should.

                  Good performance but I really didn't see it as good as some may be suggesting. Peters was just a punch bag at the end of day, he didn't look dangerous one bit. He stands still, has no movement, isn't durable, was never going to do anything in there. It's sad that the level of opposition we can throw at the K'bros are HW's like Peters, he just didn't possess anything dangerous towards Wladimar.

                    It remained exactly the same. He did what he does to everyone in that division, most people expected that. I don't think Wlad's stock can rise unless Haye stops ducking him. Maybe an Adamek fight would get him a little more recognition.
