BULL-****ING-**** Get it through your head Farmpumper. I have told you this at least a dozen times now. IT ISN'T LEGAL.
True that you mentioned Peter put Wlad on his ass, but that was a Wlad that was still getting his confidence back from that KO loss to Brewster. I don't think he can do that to Wlad now. Peter is a joke. He only is where he is because the heavyweight division is so poor. Stick Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Douglas, and Foreman, hell even Morrison in a time machine and Peter wouldn't be in the picture right now:nono
Theres a pretty big difference between leaning on a guy for 2 seconds and punching him in the back of the head.
Leaning on a guy, locking up his left hook and turning away from his right hand. All wrong doings by Waldo. The man is not a saint. Get it straight.
Right the sport is professional boxing. Wlad did the right thing against Peter, he outboxes him and did not talk during the fight to the ref. I hope the two boxer will fight again. Peter is the real WBC Champion and Wlad WBO/IBF/IBO. He unification fight between those boxers where great for boxing.
It's not intentional. If you watch properly it's Maskaev that came close with his head down every time Peter got to land something and it hits him behind the head. He clearly saw the tactic Wladimir used and was applying, just like Toney did. Whenever Peter gets in a position where he could land they would kneel on him head down and his punch will hit there eventually. I must admit that he DID hit Wladimir there intentionally at times simply because Wladimir was cheating from the start with all the holding, kneeling, pushing..etc, whenever Peter was in a position to land something Wladimir would turn his back sometimes as well so Peter would nail him there anyway and I didn't blame him at all.
If we're talking about properly enforcing the rules in the Wlad - Peter fight... sure it would be reasonably to dock a point or two from Wlad, he did hold a lot in that fight, no doubt. But in the end it wouldn't matter because Peter would have been long disqualified. His fouls were much more severe, there can't be any arguement about that. Holding doesn't do any harm to your health, rabbit punches do. The fight was a really bad referee job. Not only did the ref allow all kinds of fouls but he actually _rewarded_ Peter's fouls by scoring knockdowns caused by rabbit punches.
:huh C'mon Deluded, you make it seem like SP had less than 10 pro fights when he faught Wlad. Sure he could - I've never 'hated' SP, just think he's overrated after failing to stop JT and going life & death with McCline. Rahman lucked out and caught LL coming off the ropes. Look what happened in the return - LL blasted out HR. Oleg was past it - I thought SP would win.
:| All wrong things done by Ali, Marciano, etc. They were not 'saints' either :yep Got it? Straight or otherwise? You can keep applying the double standard to Wlad all you want. What do you want Wlad to do - fight to lose? :think Yes, that's what you want !
Leaning down on a guys kneck is not legal, WLAD LUNGES IN TO HOLD, he clamps his right arm around the opponents left and wrapps his left around their kneck leaning down on their kneck and back and squeezes tightly, heck look at the 12th round when he hurt Peter with the left hook, he immediatly lunged in and leant down on his back rather than to throw another punch, the ref in that fight was so ridiculous letting Wlad get away with all that, as seen below, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0sFZWczB9c
I agree with Steward when he says that he thinks it's the way Peter punches wildly....BUT this isn't toughman! Your a pro! If the way you punch, it comes around and hits somebody in the back of the head (intentional, or unintentional) then you should be forced to learn the proper way to box, and then be allowed back! Never see a karate guy get there in throw kicks do you? Then Manny will be like *well, he was trained to use his feet so it's a hard habit to break*. While the ref warns him over and over. And no...Peter didn't use any rabbit punching the last flurry, but he rabbit punched so many times that I don't see how it wouldn't have effected Oleg before the last flurry. That is the first time I saw Peter actually fight, and hopfully after a good fighter knocks the **** out of him (hopfully next fight) it'll be the last time I see him fight.
wlad the octopussy should have gotten DQ in that fight.. sam should hit him on the nuts everytime wlad hugs him. wlad is a ***** and he will never survive sam next time..
I was gonna mention that. That was hilarious to see. Both ears, smacked at the same time...... Peter is rather unconcerned with his illegal blows, yes. Cause he just keep doing it.
