i didn't see the peter and klitschko fight.

[DiegoFuego]

It was one of the easiest fights to score I've ever seen that still managed to be competitive. Peter can't box for ****, and Wlad is a master boxer. Therefore, Wlad wins 9 out of 12 rounds. Of course, Wlad has no chin so Peter drops him 3 times to make it look like a close fight. Peter won one other round because he had Klitschko stumbling around the ring like a drunk. Of course Peter has no stamina so he can't put Wlad away late. This fight was pathetic in that it revealed the weaknesses of both men and never showed anything positive from either guy. Wlad has no chin and Peter has no stamina.

[:Bobby:]

If Peter has no stamina, how come he floored Klitschko and almost stopped him in the 10th round?

[BloodClot]

yeah and if Wlad has no chin how come Peter couldnt KO him?

Yer trying too hard kid

Wlad and Peter wasn't that great a fight imo. Wlad did plenty of holding like Lennox Lewis did. Steward's training him now. Wlad won with a bit to spare. He won something like 9 rounds to 3 using the jab and the occasional right hand, left hook. Wlad was turning away and Peter was hitting him on the back of the head, only 1 true knockdown in my eyes. Wlad shook up Peter good in the last round. It was a big win, an important win for Wlad, just not that impressive.

but how much did wladimir actually hold peter in that fight? i saw the chris byrd interview on this site and they were saying it was ridiculous of how much wladimir was holding. if this is wladimir's style then we might have a new ruiz on our hands.

Yeah, he was holding alright. Luckily he did not have Jay Nady on patrol. What amazed me is that Klitschko was so inept at the hit and hold style. John Ruiz is clearly much better at it than Klitschko. Sam Peter does not know how to fight on the inside therefore Klitschko did not have to instigate clinches, but he did anyway. As a matter of fact Klitschko did even more unnecessary holding against Chris Byrd. Inasmuch as Byrd wasn't doing a damn thing other than blocking punches with his head, all Klitschko had to do was hit him. For some reason he used Byrd for holding practise!

Bull****, he never "almost stopped Wlad".
The only legitimate kd was in tenth and Wlad still dominated the rest of the round.

[Hitman932]

all that matters is that wladamir TKOs peter should they meet again

[Abe Attell]

He did to Peter same thing that Lewis did to Mike Tyson. Thats what you have to do against a slugger, but his holding didn't make the fight boring or anything like Ruiz does.

agree, though I am not a big fan of it

Even if you didn't like Wlad's "Clinching", what about Peter's constant hitting behind the head

Peter hit Klitschko behind the head for the same reason he hit Klitschko behind the head, they both turned away from the punch. The rules clearly state you must not turn your back on your opponent, and that includes the back of your head. If turning away from a punch was legal, then you could easily create a foul by just standing there and turning your head. Every time Peter hit Klitschko and Toney in the back of the head, it is Klitschko and Toney who should have been reprimanded.

wlad's a big guy with long arms, its hard as hell to fight in close with long arms. so he couldnt fight on the inside, so wlad had to clinch or else peter would punish him.

wlad clinched to survive.
