    he has a LOT of work to do. A very uninspiring performance tonight. His great chin was seriously questioned, although he did show some guts in staying in there. He fought a much better second half but if he fought like he did in the first half against any top 5 guy, he wouldn't make it out. He has potential, but still looks like a rookie in many ways.

    You don't get to that level without "heart" but his skill's are suspect to say the least

    Your right just ask Peter. He'll be the first to tell you that. Remember, he didn't get KD he slipped on the ring advertisement!

    Peter does have a great chin, which has already proven. It isn't like he is a god who simply can't be hurt. Every human being on this hurt can be hurt, or even knocked out cold. This is a learning process for Peter. Getting hurt in this fight doesn't erase Peter showing the sort of shot that he can take, as he has in the past. Also, it really showed his great conditioning, as he was able to overcome being seriously hurt, and finish so strong.

    When you hit Peter flush with the punch he can see his chin is great but just like anybody else if you catch him when he does not expect it he is as vulnerable as anyone. Wladimirs left hook in the 12th round was really the only punch that Sam never saw coming and he was wobbled.

    NEVER did I offer a lifetime bet. After tonight's performance, I can honestly say he would lose unless he improves on a few things in a hurry. How's that?

    You see... I am what's called a GOOD FAN. I can openly admit my guy's faults and be unbiased. Not many of us here though. :yep

    Thanks, man. :good

    The thing that shocked me most tonight was Sam being hurt. I guess you could say he had 10 days to prepare for the guy and din't see the shots coming but still. I have seen Sam take shots like those and continue coming forward. Perhpas McCline had more power than we thought?

    He's got a lot of work to do. But he's got heart.

    This fight was almost indentical to the fight Wlad fought against Peter 2 years ago, Wlad was floored 3 times and so was Peter, Wlad ended up winning by UD and Peter came back to win by UD. Peter showed heart and a good jab, thats about it.
