I know how to deal with the clinches, hit him instead of hugging him back. Peter didn't want to fight, didn't even try.
Thats your typical Wlad/Vitali opponent in the last few years, they dont come to fight. Thats why they get hate, they have all these people ready to serenade there arse with their tongues, yet they have done NOTHING to merit the fanboys adoration. As soon as Wlad fights soemone with a pulse who is fast and as power then the reality will hit home.
I admit Peter showed good chin and wasn't as fat as against Vitali and Chambers. Other than that, he showed no skills, but I guess one should get used to that. I would rather give respect to Byrd than Peter. Peter has at least puncher chance, while Byrd was stylewise sentenced to lose 10 times out of 10. Surprisingly, it was Byrd who was in top shape in both fights, giving it all in the ring, while everything Peter was able to do was to get himself into "just a little obese" kind of shape.
