    Please. Manny had Wlad throw nothing but jabs and straight rights with instrctions to clinch.

    Wlad followed it to the letter until the 12th when he decided to break from the plan and throw a left hook which had Scamuel doing a flabber version of the Judah shuffle.

    Not only could Tua knocked him out but Wlad would too in a rematch

    At this point, based on recent performances, it looks like a "pick 'em" fight. Contrary to all the Peter bashing going on lately, I still think he outworks Tua, and wins a UD. Tua has a puncher's chance, but you can be damn sure that Peter is gonna respect his power more than McCline's - as well he should.

    It seems like anyone with a Wlad or Vitali Avatar always have the worst things to say about Peter, its like they have something against him for being the last fighter to put Wlad on ***** street.

    And with big Vitali fans, they are upset he got a shot at the WBC title before he did.

    Is it just me, or with every matchup involving Samuel, some people say "_____ would easily outbox him. Sam has no skills." It is as though people aren't able to break down/analyze objectively.

    True, its like there love for Wlad blinds them into making no sense when it comes to judging Sam Peter fairly.

    When you get into conversations with some of them about Sam Peter gettingWlad in trouble they blame it on the rabbit punching or some other stupid excuse, just because another fighter turns his back or puts his head down, doesnt mean you should stop punching. The ref would of took a point away or at least warned Peter if he thought the punches were illegal, and not counted the knockdowns. In the end Wlad won a tough fight and thats all that should matter right.

    Agreed....I think they have more of a point about rabit punching in the Toney fights than in the Klitschko fight. Wladimir turned his back on Samuel...a no-no. But even then, I really don't think Samuel is aiming for the back of heads.

    The man is a wild punching boxer, similiar to a young Foreman. If my memory serves me correctly wasnt Frazier hit in the back of the head when he turned his back against Foreman?

    Theres fouls in every sport not just boxing, theres more going on in the ring than most people never see. When I boxed I had my toes stepped on and punched, low blowed, and butted on many occasions, its part of boxing and you just got to deal with it. Alot of times what people dont understand is that most refs let things go because they see your oppenent doing things to you as well, fighting can be a dirty game sometimes.

    Good post - I can speak from experience as well when I say you are absolutely right about the part I highlighted.

    Thanks man, sometimes its tough explaining that to people that never boxed before, some of the dirty stuff thats done in the ring is almost impossible to see going on when watching it on tv.
