3 months ago when we all found out that we were going to watch Wlad Klitchko vs. Sam Peter the first opinion out of almost every neutral boxing fans mouth was, "oh **** wlad is gonna get ****ed up this is the wrong fight for him right now"
Its funny how time can change things, as I have been reading over the past week it appears the tide has begun to change, more and more people are predicting the Ukraninian to put the beat down on the green nigerian.
Before Gatti signed the fight with Floyd most experts said stay away from that fight Arturo you cant win that one but as the fight was signed and fight night grew closer people began thinking of this fight as a competitive one and even one that Gatti could win. This scenario is different because those who were giving Gatti a chance were doing so with their heart (as I was) logic said that fight was going to be every bit the thrashing that it was.
With Peter and Klit I came out of the box and said Peter is going to hurt Wlad even though I recognized that it was a close fight to call because of the lack of experience from Peter.
Now who do I like? I still like Peter but Im more apprehensive about my pick then ever before, I think Wlad will dominate the early rounds but it takes a lot of energy out of you avoiding a puncher like Peter and it eventually will take its tole.
Who else feels less confident about their fight pick as the match grows closer? Has anyone changed their picked?
Cant wait for Saturday night, it is exactly what us cult fans live for!
Oh by the way if you are flip flopping around about your pick here is my advice, go with your first instinct, if you did that for Gatti vs. Floyd you would have never got your hopes up for a potential Thunder upset, dont get to excited if Wlad's chin is just as broke as you thought it was when the fight first was signed.
