Good for him to take the fight. Actually fighting someone isn't as impressive as wearing a T-shirt with their severed head tho.
He certainly has a better chance of beating Wlad in the rematch, than he does of beating Vitali. That being said, Samuel needs to go on the attack early. Make Wlad feel uncomfortable early and not allow him to establish the jab and grab tactics that has kept him champ for over 4 years now.
Hmmm. Good point. Hard to find someone who can outbox him while surviving the shots he gets in. Harder to find someone to outslug him.
Waldo has a suspect chin and Peter does have that one-punch rabbit power. I thought the first one was really entertaining. Should be decent.
As said by fourty, Wlads chin is utter glass compared to Vitali's. Besides, Vitali doesn't panic when he gets hit. Wlad still appears to be uncomfortable in there with pure punchers. If Peter lands solid, will see how much Wlad has changed in 5 years. Wlad does well at keeping his fighters at a distance, but once they get inside Wlad does nothing but hold on for dear life. Thats see if Peter keeps the attack up and hurts Wlad early.
:good Nice to see how quick negotiations can be and how happy a boxer and his promoter are to get a world title shot!!!!
Here we go again, some people never learn that Peter is basically a one dimensional clubbing brawler and will get his ass handed to him worse than last time. In terms of boxing skill, he's actually a lot lower than other brawlers like Arreola and Tua. Besides this, Peter does NOT deserve this title shot at all. Waste of time, waste of resources. Here is what Peter has done since his back to back losses against Vitali and Chambers: wins over McGee (rated 299 by Boxrec), Bellamy (476), Brown (302), Aguilera (45). Is beating conecutive, extremely low ranked bums good enough for a title shot?
It's what happens when the guys ahead of him turn out to have no testicles....... Guess we can't use the term 'guys' here after all?.....:think.....
Povetkin pulls out so Peter deserves the title shot. What should Wlad do? Haye said no. Povetkin no. Lame this fighters not fighters who want to fight.
