Next week it will be revealed that Samuel Peter will be fighting at London's O2 Arena on July 12 against either Matt Skelton or Audley Harrison...I'm amazed! Source: The Sun
Wow, I'd rather he fight Andrew Golota instead. If Harrison gets a title shot, we'll look back on the Sprott KO as merciful. This is basically a stay-busy fight for Peter as he awaits Vitali Klitschko.
skelton and harrison are not ranked in the wbc's top 15. it would have to be a non-title fight 1.Vladimir Virchis 2. Juan Carlos Gomez 3. John Ruiz 4. Hasim Rahman 5. Alexander Dimitrenko 6. Oleg Maskaev 7. Chris Arreola 8. Andrew Golota 9. Kali Meehan 10. Oliver McCall 11. Donnell Holmes 12. Michael Moorer 13. JD Chapman 14. Carl Davis Drumond 15. Travis Walker
Hopefully Skelton, he would actually have a chance, albeit an incredibly slim one Fraudley would be KTFO within 3
Samuel "who nex" Peter is ducking a 40 year old Golota, LOL. I guess he's content on gambling for one big pay day against Vitaly (that's if he actually shows up) and then it's retirement and focus on BK... pathetic. :bolt
Skelton vs. Peter would be fairly interesting. I wonder how Skelton would react to Peter's rabbit punches, and how Peter would deal with Skelton's holding and hitting, head butts, and other tricks? Peter vs. Skelton would have more fouling than Peter vs. Golota.
Talk about feeding Audley to the sharks, Peter will stop him inside of 4! Harrison is afraid of his own shadow!
Skelton gets beaten by Chag in one title fight, and he's rewarded by getting a second title fight? I would think the WBC bigdogs would have to approve of even a stay busy fight, as this oppoent is getting a legit chance at their title. But, titleshots seem to be given out freely, these days, with absolutely no requirements, whatsover. As sad as it is to say, I hope Audley is chosen, as he is slightly more deserving than Skelton is, at this particular time. He is coming off a win, afterall.
