Klitschko-Peter: Weigh-In Video and Photos

So Peter's gonna start slow?

 

Ivalo always looks like that, funny though.

 

Not necessarily slow, I fully expect him to charge in as early as the first and try to see what Vitali has to offer by just keeping the pressure up. If he can handle Vitali's power then this fight will go long and Vitali active enough as the fight goes considering the pressure Peter will obviously apply here and once he slows down that's when Peter will be landing more and more. If he can't handle Vitali's power then this ends early or even by UD with Peter dropping down numerous times and hurt.

 

There is no way Peter can fight on the outside due to the size difference. He's gotta get inside and make it a phone booth fight, but does he have...the boxing skill to do it is my question. Unlike Wlad, Vit. can actually fight on the inside.

 

Who thinks that Peter can handle Vitali's power after being dropped 3 times by McCline?

And who thinks that Peter will stop Vitali after failing to stop Wlad?

 

Does Peter have ANY boxing skills is my question.

 

Vitali hits a lot harder then Mccline.

It's possible. Depends on Vitali. He looks in pretty good shape, but if he's significantly aged (in the ring compared to his last fight) then I could see him being dropped.

 

That's exactly my point when I mention being able to take Vitali's power, the McCline fight. If the same happens then he's going to be taken out or might be able to survive and go 12 if he manages to do so. The way he handled McCline's power leaves me confused in this one, he was also stunned by Maskaev I must add so we really don't know till the fight is on, this could end early based on that.

About failing to stop Wladimir, Vitali doesn't fight like him. Wladimir applied the jab/grab tactic all night, Vitali fights going backwards and relies on his back as he counters, he's constantly moving and using his legs and back(which is where his injuries came from).

 

Wlad and Vittili punch @ the same hard, and Peters didn't get his bell run into the 12th.
So I expect it to go 10-11.

 

He's very underrated there, he showed some improvements after the Wladimir fight. If he didn't have skills he wouldn't have beaten Toney twice, I know Toney was old but he was also fighting in there and went the full distance which means Peter was fully tested there and activity won him the fight, in the rematch though he completely dominated.

 

I am telling you Peter's best chance is to put immediate pressure and hope for an early stoppage.

Peter can't and won't outbox Vitali. Look at Peter's punch output in the last third of fights (rounds 9-12) it is abysmal. Even against Wlad when he was in top shape he was only throwing 15 or 20 punches a round late in fights.

People can say Vitali will be tired but Peter will also be tired.

The only way Peter wins this fight is by early KO.

 

Exactly. And Peter was dropped 3 times by McCline and even stunned by Maskaev.

What will Vitali do to him?

 

Vitali is also a lot better fighter then either of those two.

Wonder who Atlas is picking to win

 

YEP. Peter CAN punch. It is his best asset. So he must try and decapitate Vitali early.

Only problem..............Vitali's always had a terrific chin.
