    I know I seem to get more spam E Mails trying to screw me out of money from Nigeria, than anywhere else. :lol: Nigeria seems to be the e mail scam/fraud capitol of the world.

    But if Peter is the titleholder, I think he deserves to get the location choice.

    I just hope Peter/King/Duva take into account the amount of money that the fight would make in Nigeria, as opposed to Germany, where Vital being on the card would make it a certain huge success.

    We´ll have to agree to disagree on that. I thought his handspeed was extremely good in the first 2 rounds, but after that he was hurt and tired(not just becaus he was in bad shape, but because Vitali just doesn´t give fighter room to breath, he throws a massive amount of punches) was throwing haymakers.

    I think we´ll see enough of Vitali to see him have an easy night. But I agree that if he´s half the fighter he used to be, it will be an interresting night. His style heavily relies on reflexes, and he is getting older. I think Vitali is underrated and Peter is highly overrated, I think you think the oposite... it will be exciting to find out who´s right.

    Fair enough, I never said Sanders didnt have fast hands, but when your throwing hayemakers and looping punches all night, it's hard to know wether his hands are that fast or not. If Samuel comes in at 240 like he should, you will see a Sam Peter knockout in the middle rounds, it will be a competitive back and forth fight, up until the point where Peter lands a big right hand that floors Vitali, after that Peter will continue the attack and the ref will step in to stop it.

    Peter went the distance against Hawkins... and you are sure of a Sam Peter knockout over Vitali Klitschko who hasn't even been knocked down before?

    If that happens, Peter will be the first fighter to ever take Vitali off his feet, much less, TKO him. But I don't see that happneing. itali will take him apart as he did Danny Williams.

    I will say this; If Peter can take Vitali off his feet, and go on to beat him, I'll sing his praises. Peter will then be, without question, the second best heavy fighting today. But I doubt he'll be able to do that. Noone takes big VK off his feet, and Peter certainly won't be able to withstand the punishment that Vitali will inflict upon him, much less, beat Vitali.

    Who cares, that was what, 2 years ago. Vitali is not the same fighter he was in 04, it's 08 and Vitali's body wont be able to handle the abuse Peter will put on him, his reflexes will be naturally slower and he will be alot less dangerous. If vitali hasnt been able to get past training camp, I dont see how he's going to get past the dangerous number 2 heavyweight in the world, Sam Peter.

    I see what your saying Heavy, but we must not forget, Vitali will be lesser version of his 04 self, and Peter dont have shaky chin like Williams either, and Peter is good bit more powerful as well. I will be very excited to see this fight, because it will be a slugfest until someone goes down, I just think Vitali is going to be that guy laying on the canvas.

    I don't know when will it be announced, but it will definitely happen before August -probably in July.

    Vitali will also run for Kiev mayor. The elections are in May. Win or lose the election, he will fight Peter.

    If they fight, VK will win IMO.
    He wouldn´t be stupid enough to fight if he wasn´t close enough to his old self.
    It´s not a punch drunk bar brawler we´re talking about.
    You can bet that Vitaly has got X rounds of sparring versus Wladimir to make sure he´s still top notch.

    The combo of SP having 1 KO against top tier opponents and VK beeing floored zilf times doesn´t speak in favour of a KO for Peter.

    Great fight...let´s hope for it to be made soon.

    Yes, if Vitali hadn't been in the gym and been sparring and training enough to guage himself in order to see where his reflexes and overall conditioning are, he would not even attempt this fight. I hightly doubt he'd take the fight, cold, without knowing where his conditioning, reflexes, and overall health as a pro fighter is, ahead of time.


    If he's coming back, you can bet that he's fully ready, and knows what he brings.

    :good

    Vitali by mid to late TKO, ala, Danny Williams.

    Peter will be an easier fight than Williams.
