    Please pick a result and around. Vitlai Klitschko vs Sam Peter.

    I'm going with Vitlai in round 9, though I think Vitali can win this early if he can intimidate Peter and land his hook.

    I've got it on General too, but Vitali UD.

    I think he'll both be a bit too rusty to push for a knockout, plus Peter's chin is getting malaigned too much.

    I look for Vitali to stick to the game plan of using his height and reach, scoring from the outside, and then making Peter pay a price when he advances, and clinching on the inside. Peter will have difficulty reaching Vitali...Klitschko by decision for me.

    There's still plenty of time for Vitali to pull out yet.

    Hm, still don´t know. Vitali looks ready but you never now how rusty one is until the first round. But he looks ready. Vitali by late TKO but I´m not confident with this pick.

    Peter stops him in the 6th round, Vitali has been away for a long time and no warm up match and then he has been injured so much I doubt he has much left.
