if Peter was in shape the first fight, he probably would've won. While Boxing is not body building, you just can't get in the ring out of shape like that, Peter should weigh no more than 230 IMO.
everyone talks about the K Bros being so boring, but to be honest if youd like to see something equally as boring, watch Ali fight. all he did was prance around the ring and punch at the head. i watch his fights to go to sleep at night.
Looks liek Peter is in better shape than he was before Vitali, but the scale is the only way to know for sure.
Chris came back to win GG with three months of real training when he fought at LHW. He should have been and should now be lower. Sam Peter has some decent wins. Is he a world beater? No. Could he be doing a hell of a lot better now with the right training, diet, and skill development? Yes. Honestly? He seems to just not like to box. Boxing hype machine? Who? Where? More like the HW hype machine. The world just loves HWs. Skill/athleticism wise, most of the HWs don't match up with lower weight classes.
That is exactly my point. :good And to your point time spent "getting in fighting shape" is time and mental energy NOT spent devising a game plan and honing skills.
I dont see it. Iv been watching Peter since he turned pro and nothings made me think he has the ability or intelligience to be anything other than a contender. Everything about Peter is wrong. And most of all he doesnt listen to any of his trainers. Don Kings already made him comfortable. Dont expect much elese from him.
Right now, looking at the pictures, Peter looks in the same shape he fought Vitali, 255lbs. Still 2 weeks to go, maybe he could drop another 10lbs.
I don't think he is "great" or anything like that. I am saying that he is like at 60% of whatever potential he has. Harsh man.
WOW!! :-( Based on these pics, even a tentative Wlad wins by TKO 7. The difference is, Wladimir's looking for an impressive stoppage this time around. And I think he's going to get it. Look at the Samuel Peter who managed to put Wlad down 3 times in 2005. In terms of his physical shape and determination, we haven't seen that version of him since that night. These new pics show that Sam is carrying a lot of fat and he also fights like it these days. He is going to get KTFO.
The top photo would suggest he's leaner than he's ever been, but the other photos shows quite a gut. Anyway, overall he does look to be thinner. I noticed that especially through his torso......... He used to have a big barrell chest, but not so much, now. I guess his abdominal area is just distended, cause he still has visible abs, even with a protruding gut.
