Peter named WBC Interim Champion!!!

The King will return and shatter Peter's skull. :bart

 

We'll see. :yep

Our little boy keeps us hopping - to say the least.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Did I tell you I bought a bigger house?

 

Ah, so that's what you've been up too, eh?:smoke

Welcome back to the fun and games, man!:good

People have been grossly underrating Peter lately - there is an entire contingent of fans that actually thought Maskaev would beat him!!atsch

 

Hey you immoral Lewis Hatter! :yep

On Peter we agree, Zak. Maskaev more skilled, but aging, brittle and so susceptible to the bomb that Peter likely would have planted at some point. :deal

 

Well fair is fair. If he can cut to 147 and blow back up to 162lbs more power to him. But draining near 20lbs for the scales isn't gonna last for very long. Infact I'll be surprised to see him beat Margarito in a rematch judging by who looked stronger going into the final rounds. All he had to do was stay busy from round 1 to 12 and they blew it. Can't predict that.

 

I hear McCline has come up with the best Klitschko name yet - Brittley.

 

Williams is green in terms of big fight exposure. He will get better and will acquire more guile and savvy. Margarito is unilkely to ramp up from here on out. Paul Williams will beat him again. I'd also suggest that Margo is not exactly the world's most adaptable fighter. He has one style based on volume and grit, and if that is met by a lefty with equal or greater output, much better handspeed and better pure skill, he is going to be in deep water again.

 

My son is doing well also, he got me into watching Nascar..............

 

I may reconsider my long-standing disdain for Bigtime. :yep

 

How old? Ours is 16 months and is a machine. The worst part of all is that he is so damn cute that we are totally disarmed most of the time.

 

Nope. He sure cannot adapt. Which is my point really. They had him on a seek and destroy mission thinking they would knock Williams out. Had they just gone in there and do what works for him (100 punches a round) he would have worn Williams down much sooner.

I guess the reports at ringside attest to this. Margarito's punches were landing with a significantly higher thud than Williams' punches.

 

A "hatter" I will be, hopefully not mad, however!

And you are dead on on Maskaev. It seemed to me that only the most biased Euro nuthuggers and some Peter haters were the ones giving him a shot!

Hey, now what do you think of their handing the title to Peter?? To me, it's a little dodgy, but then most long-time boxing fans don't take the hyjinks of these sanctioning orgs seriously.

Whatever they do, it is clear that Peter is LONG overdue for his shot!

 

Hmmm. Or could it be that he just started slowly - as he invariably does? I'd also suggest that Paul Williams dug in and acquitted himself very well in the 12th round - an important fact in the grand scheme. I also think that Williams' awkward style and high volume, angle punching had plenty to do with Margarito's own diminished output, as well. Rematch = carbon copy, IMO.
