Any Word On When V.Klitschko Vs. Peter Will Be Announced?

Reports from German newpapers have indication July, but Don King is dragging his feet, however, snakes do not have feet!

 

I was thinking, all along, that Vitali and Don King won't mix well, and I think this fight getting made to where both sides agree with be like pulling teeth. King will obviously want his options on future Vitali fights, and Vitali won't allow that, seeing as how he is a big name, and has his own promotion, and don't need King in any way.

Seeing as how this is Peter's mandated first fight, it'll be interesting to see how the negotiations pan out, and if Suliaman has the balls to force King to stop demanding unfair options..(doubtful). If the fight is a mandatory, you'd think that Suliaman would have some power over someone demanding something that is not fair to the other fighter.

I have already read that Vitali has just recently said that negotiating with King is not easy, as he's already trying to get the fight put together. If it does get negotiated and comes off as planned, it'll be the best heavyweight fight in years.

 

Peter caught Wlad with a big right on several occasions (about five flush shots, last I saw the fight), and the ref didn't stop it, so why do you think Vitali, who has a chin of cast iron, will be so hurt that the ref will stop it? Peter is probably not as powerful of a puncher as Lewis or Sanders. His power is impressive, but nothing like it was pumped up to be. Not even close.

And if Vitali can take the big shots Lewis caught him with as well as he did, and the flush and fast Corrie Sanders shots, and stay on his feet and keep fighting, he'll handle Peter's shots, as well, shake it off, and keep fighting. :good But will Peter be able to take Vitali's shots, and stay on his feet and keep fighting? That will be the biggest variable, to me.

Gonna be a very dramatic fight, with alot of action....... You KNOW this one won't go to the cards. :smoke

I´ll put money on Vitali not loosing a single round if this fight happens.

 

Fair enough, but Peter rarely caught Wlad with flush shots in that fight, most were partially blocked. Peter seemed to smother alot of his punches, especially when he had Wlad hurt, but that can be expected when your only 25 and on the stage for the first time.

I feel Peter will hurt Vitali, who is now 37-38, and not been in a live fight in 3 and a half years. Peter is extremely powerful, Steward made mention of his power being greater than Wlads, either way the mans got dynamite in that right hand. Like I said before Heavy, this fight will be the most explosive, exciting fight in years, thats agree one thing, that it actually goes down.:yep

 

IMHO Peter´s power is EXTREMELY overrated, just about as overrated as his chin. Beside the fact that Stewart is a total twatt that talks crap, I think he thought Peter would fight Wlad and he loves to talk up his fighters fights. He also sais that Wlad hits much harder than Tyson.

I´ll say it´s gonna be a very one dimensional fight with Vitali winning all rounds and Peter getting stopped the later part of the fight. Vitali will have a very easy time keeping distance from Peter as Peter isn´t fast on his feet at all, and Peter´s punches are mostly loopy and Vitali will see them coming. Vitali is a nightmare for Peter´s style just like Wlad was..but Vitali won´t get shaken by a few punches and he won´t give him time to breath(and Peter runs out of breath VERY fast). I thought Maskaev hit Peter with some nice shots that hurt Peter, and Vitali hits harder than Maskaev and is nowhere near as slow.

I will be nervous I´m wrong though, because Vitali´s been out of the ring for so long and his style is so extremely dependant of his reflexes.

 

Surprise surprise.

King will do everything he can to not do this fight.:fire

 

He caught him flush, at least five times. Rewatch it and keep track and you'll see for yourself.

I think Peter will be very ineffective against Vitali, given his size, reach and lean back defensive style. Peter's only chance at landing a shot is to do one of his lunging ins with a haymaker thrown as far as he can get it, in hopes of catching the 6 foot 8 Klitschko.

Regardless of is Vitali is my favorite fighter or not, I still see Peter being thoroughly beaten, pillar to post, in a one sided affair. He may even be knocked out, for the first time in his caeer. He's never been in with someone with Vitali's size, power, chin, and willingness to make it a brawl, and exchange, toe to toe, as Vitali will do with him. Vitali Klitschko is one bad dude.

 

Vitali is the draw ... he has leverage ... I think the fight could be held in Germany if he wanted it to.

Klitschko is going to get the higher end of the purse as well --

 

I watched the fight many times, Wlad was caught flush very few times in that fight, and ones did connect, put Wlad in a panic attack.

I'm not going to completely discredit Vitali in this fight, but alot of you are forgetting that he hasnt stepped in the ring with a live oppenent in almost 3 and a half years, the man isnt going to be a 100% percent, remember when Tyson came back after 3 and a half years, he wasnt nearly a 100%, 70% at best, and he was one of the best Heavyweights to ever enter a ring. Vitali is very overrated, and he did get caught by Sanders wild punches, and was rocked a few times, and Peter has comparable power to Corrie. I see the fight going either way, but yes, I do believe we will see a knockout, and Peter will still be champ.

 

This is the fight i have been looking forward to for a long time, I just hope it doesn't get put off, vitali is my favorite fighter but if he should get injured again he has to do the right thing and retire. This fight should not dissapoint anybody.

 

I think a very disciplined and focused fighter like Vitali can train and condition himself in the gym to where he will suffer little to no ring rust. He can, and probalby will, put himself through long and rigorous rounds of sparring and heavy and taxing training,

I think the fact that he's been out of the ring for 3.5 years, wont' be as apparent, or deabiliting, as it would for most other heavyweights, who usually go through fluctuating weight, and an unwillingness to train, at all, during the down time. Vitali looks to be in fighting shape, no matter if he's retired, or not. Through years of fighting as a profession kickboxer and boxer, he is a finely tuned, professional fighting machine, and I just bet that given his focus and history of staying in impeccable condition, all of the time, his body won't go to **** during his downtime, as many do.

 

I hear what your saying, but with age and inactivity, your body naturally deteriorates, which doesnt bode to well for Vitali. Vitali has suffered injuries through that time off, that he may or may not of fully recovered from. I just cant see him being a full 100% come fight night, it would be nearly a miracle IMO, I'm guessing he will be 70% of his previous self, which is not enough to beat Samuel IMO.

 

What the heck... Corrie is a very tall guy with extremely fast hands, it´s no coincidence that he has knocked out a whole heep of guys in the first rounds. I´d agree that their power is comparable, but they´re style of punching couldn´t be further apart. Corrie throws fast straight punches from a distance and likes to counter. Peter throws loopy hooks and isnt as tall. Vitali caught a totally flush shot from Corrie and he was rocked from it.. that is 1 time. He dominated him after he changed his gameplan after the first round.

 

Sanders hands werent that fast in that fight, he threw a series of looping punches and hayemakers all night. I wont argue the fact he's a good bit taller, which could be either a plus or minus. You got to remember Vitali hasnt been in the ring with a live oppenent in 3 and half years, and there's a great chance his reflexes are either shot, or significantly slower, which comes with age and lack of activity. We will not see the same Vitali in 08, as we did in 04, that I promise you.
