W Klitschko -Peter the biggest HW fight since V Klitschko-LLewis

[S0UTHPAW]

WBC will not have Wlad as #1 as long as VK holds their belt. That would leave them without a champ because brothers will not fight each other and they would have to strip VK's title.

There ya go smart guy, give Don King the blue print on how to strip Vitali, good going

[Barley_Popinski]

Do or die for Vlad though, we'll see how good Peter really is. Interesting fight.

[PBDS]

I cant think of a heavyweight fight since Lewis/Vitali, that I wanted to see more. So for the most part I agree.

...I would agree with those sentiments.

[PBDS]

Well, I know Peter was the WBC's #1 contender and he was gonna fight Sinal Sam for the shot, but then we got Peter vs. Wlad (where Wlad was in position to fight for the IBF's eliminator). So I really don't know, but you can bet either organization (IBF or WBC) will have the winner of this fight as their #1 contender

.....This fight is for the right to fight Byrd or the WBO champion. Whoever wins this fight will have their pick between the IBF or the WBO title. Right now Wlad and Sam are 2 and 3 and Krasniq and Brewster are fighting for the title. Obviously the winner of Wlad/Peter becomes the number one guy in the WBO as well.

[Diablo]

I still like Wlad as a fighter and believe he has good chance to wreck havok at HW but a china chin and stam problems have been his weakness. For the sake of the HW's I hope Peters wins just to give some hope to that division.

[moochi]

yes great hype and very much a fight to look forward to...unfortunately it will be over very quick and fat peter will be on the canvas (even though i am rooting for him).

Peter-Klitschko: The Fans Get Their Fight!




PRESS RELEASE: More than just a great match-up of
styles, the significance of unbeaten heavyweight Samuel
“The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter facing former WBO
champion Wladimir Klitschko on September 24 at the
Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City and televised live on
HBO is considerable. “It’s such an important fight for
the impact it will have on the division and on boxing in
general,” marvelled Peter’s promoter, Dino Duva. “The
outcome of this fight could shape the heavyweight
division for years to come.”



HBO’s President of Programming, Kery Davis, agrees: “The
Klitschko/Peter fight shapes up as one of the most
compelling heavyweight fights in recent memory. The
stakes are high for both men. The winner emerges as a
significant player in a heavyweight division that is in
need of an injection of fresh star power.”



In Peter, you have the future king and self-proclaimed
“savior of the division.” Does this young, undefeated,
24-0 (21 KO), powerhouse have what it takes to ascend
the throne and bring heavyweight boxing back into the
limelight? An impressive victory over Klitschko would
put him on the fast track to superstardom.



Not long ago, Wladimir Klitschko, 44-3 (40 KO), was
considered one of the two or three best heavyweights on
the planet. The 6’ 6” Ukrainian put together a very
impressive streak of victories before suffering
surprising setbacks to Corrie Sanders and then Lamon
Brewster. A victory over Peter would put him right back
in the title mix. A loss might spell the end.



The Peter vs. Klitschko match-up was recently voted the
fight that viewers of ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights most
want to watch. “Not only is this fight a mandatory
box-off for two organizations, the IBF and the WBO,”
continued Duva, “it’s also a clash between two of the
most powerful fighters in boxing. It’s a crossroads
fight for a former world champion who was not long ago
considered the best fighter out there, taking on the
hottest new prospect in the world. It’s also a chance
for the world to see what Samuel Peter is really made
of. There are so many reasons why this is such a great
match-up. And on top of its importance to the landscape
of the sport, it’s probably the best heavyweight
match-up from a boxing standpoint as well. For as long
as this fight lasts, it’s going to be exciting. And when
the dust settles, the future heavyweight king will be
left standing.”

My question is how will Wlad take Peter's punch?

[RAESAAD]

Good fight not great unless Peter kn****s Wlad on to the floor right out of the ring , that would be funny but seriously should be a good fight I think Peter will outlast the sluggish big guy but they both have some heavy hands anything could happen.

[tri4ben2]

Wlad is the best offensive heavyweight out there. He doesn't have the best chin, but if he can work on his defense, he can make it out of hard spots. He is like the Ram's when they had a crappy defense, but they were scoring 50 points a game so it didn't matter.

Right now, Wlad is at his best when he is a little nervous. What he needs to do is control space and slow down the flow of the fight. He did that against Elisier Castillo, and it was a boring fight because neither fighter pressed. If Castillo pressed, I think he would have been KOed in the first round.

If a fighter is pressing and has a good chin, Wlad needs to figure out how to win rounds without throwing 85 punches.

Against Peter, if he gets rocked, he should take a knee and recoup. If he staggers around the ring with his hands down like he did , Peter will finish him.
