This fight is gonna be interesting, but, I still expect Wlad to dominate. I would not be surprised if Peter has his moments.
I honestly think Wlad is going to dominate Peter this time around...Meaning he will fight from the outside with his rangy jab while dropping the hammer of the right hand...He will not allow Peter to get on the inside. For a big man, Wlad has some underrated footwork IMO...He knows how to keep his opponent turning and not letting them set...With Peter I dont think he will get close enough to get the KD. (just my opinion)
Wlad is chinny as ****. That's why he fights the way he does, but I do agree that this may be the likely outcome. Peter is done, although he would still probably beat the **** outta Povetkin.
It will probably take until the 7th to 12th, really - depending on Peter's dedication and conditioning.
Fool! Peter had a ruptured eardrum leading up to the McCline fight being cuffed by a sparring partner 2 weeks before the fight. The mere fact that you called Peter chinny is reason for a ban!
Yes if he lands wlad is going down. Everyone says wlad is so much better than the first fight. Bull**** he has not fought anyone since then. Wlad has not improved at all. If peter comes in in shape and is ready to go to war he can win. Wlad still has a weak chin that has not changed. Peter is going to have to get dirty because wlad is going to be holding like a little *****. If wlad hold peter should hit him in the nuts. I'm sick of wlad holding so ****ing much. He holds just as much as Ruiz did. Thats cheating plain and simple. Peter has got to charge him and make it ruff. If he does wlad will fold as he always does. Thank god peter is getting the shot. Wlad may have made a mistake this time. I will be at the fight and I will be cheering for peter to knock wlad out. Wlad is killing the sport I love.
Yeah anyone that knows anything about boxing knows you can't fix a glass jaw. He just learned how to cheat by holding to prevent people from hitting his glass chin. I pray that peter wins this fight. Wlad is killing boxing with his cheating ways. He is just as bad as ruiz. UFC should pay wlad for running all the boxing fans to there sport. Hell Wlad as run me to UFC and I love boxing. I used to box but now I'm training for MMA fighting.
It's only a matter of opinion but I think Peter is quite a big puncher while his stamina holds out (Emanuel Steward and Teddy Atlas apparently agree that he's a big puncher) but having the brute force and the technical ability to make it count against high caliber fighters are two different things. Also, Barrett? That's an example you're using for Wlad's chin? And to say he wasn't troubled by anything those guys threw? I just recently watched Wlad/Mercer for instance, and Wlad was getting knocked back my Mercer's jabs. He was troubled a little bit. I don't think his chin is as bad as some make it out to be either, but it's not reliable. And as far as how difficult he's been to hit flush against some of the better fighters he's faced in the past few years, I think his chin reputation is changing without merit. His defense is just better. Anyway, I expect him to lopsidedly knockout Peter as you do, but do I think it's possible that Sam knocks Wlad down? Of course.
That's what I think too, though I pick 5-6. Don't be surprised to see it end in two rounds or even less if Wladimir decides to throw his right hand early.
