    I've said in other threads that this was probably the most impressive performance I've seen from a comebacking fighter in 30 years of following the sport.

    Older fighters coming off long layoffs don't usually win - let alone win in such impressive fashion - against vastly younger fighters in the prime of their careers.

    I may have been wrong in predicting the typical scenario, but it was worth it to see a rare achievement like this.

    Ill admit I gave Peter a decent shot because Vitali was out for so long.

    I probably didnt expect Vitali to be so dominant but thats how I would have thought it would of went down if they fought when Vitali was champ.

    I thought so and I thought it would be with the layoff and injurys. Thing is I dont even believe Vitali was ever injured.

    I feel so vindicated, just as all Vitali fans do, I was said an endless number of times Peter was going to get brutalized, and to see it happen was the greatest feeling in the world. I havent enjoyed a fight more this year than that one

    I thought Peter would get KTFO and he did, it was so obvious.

    I admit I picked Peter based on Vitali's inactivity and injuries. Unforgettable performance from Vitali after the long lay-off and as a fan of his I'm very happy as I'm sad for Peter losing the way he did. Still a fan of both of course and looking forward to what they plan to bring next.

    Same, although I didn't think he would win pretty. I was just too skeptical about Vitali's health.

    I already knew he was gonna lose. It was a matter of time before he met someone with a solid 1,2 that has power.
