Can Oleg beat Sam Peter??

I'm not really sure here but a bit nervous about this, even though I wasn't but the McCline fight was the reason. Honestly though Oleg is too old, if he wins this it will be even bigger than beating Rahman when no one gave him a chance, he's just too old but MIGHT have a puncher's chance.

 

Definitely possible if he isn't too washed up to even get a shot off

Doesn't take much to get big old Pete on the canvas

Logically I have to favour Peter, 80/20

 

Yeah I saw that fight, Peter was ready to go alright, if it was Wladimir the fight would've been over right there, maybe earlier. Which is why I don't want to see Peter fight Wladimir till he really proves he plans to train 100% before EVERY fight or else he's getting knocked out within a round or 2. Oleg does have a chance, both of us know that Peter doesn't come 100% focused mentally and physically before every fight, only specific ones that he "thinks" are important. If Peter comes in that horrible shape then he's going to get caught and floored early, you don't get floored THAT early unless it's damn clear you're not in top shape, if he isn't then Oleg's power WILL floor him or at least wobble him and keep him backing up.

 

Okay, that's too much.

 

Nope. Oleg had a glass jaw in his prime, and I doubt it's gotten any better with age. Peter's chin may not be as good as we thought, but it's not as bad as the McCline fight indicated either. He'll win this fight rather easily and rather early - and then people will be singing his praises once again.

 

And a brutal knockout, sad to say it but both of us know it's the truth.

 

Let's be honest, neither stands anything more than a punchers chance against Wlad. With the way Wlad has improved in terms of not getting hit, that chance has diminished to a pretty small percentage

Peter eats too many burgers, can't be arsed, and has a suspect chin

Maskaev is spending too much time on the beach, and not enough boxing

 

Peter's chin IS granite, you just can't take bomb after another vs Wladimir and SO early in the fight till the last round if you didn't have a great chin. Hell, even fighters with solid chins fell to the canvas after taking bombs from Wladimir yet Peter kept taking them and was the one dropping Wladimir to the canvas. Maybe those bombs got to him?, it's a big possibility since Wladimir's power is just insane or it could be that Peter wasn't in good condition that fight. You know that conditioning improves the ability to take a punch.
