    ...is that he has problems with guys larger than him. WALD outboxed him, and Mccline almost had him out. If Mccline wasn't Mccline, he would have surely finished him off.

    I hate to admit it, but I think WALD may starch him in a rematch.

    Its probable, but Wlads weak chin will always keep Peter in the fight, I see Wlad out boxing Peter till the 7th round and after he softens him up a bit then he will start using the leather.
     
  3. Wlad Klits would decision Peter again- DE JA VU..:good

    Valuev would decision him also if not stop him..

    I thought Mccline should have got the decision last week and should get a rematch, but that makes too much sense so it won't happen..:-(

    Mccline knew he blew after the fight, if only he would of trained harder he probably would of won.

    He trained very hard...14 weeks. He's just not a great finisher.

    If thats the case why was he breathing hard past the 6 round? He didnt train as hard as he can and knows it.

    He's always had stamina problems. Sometimes you can give it your all in training, but get tired quickly in fights. Those massive muscles require a lot of oxygen.
     
  8. Did Mccline admit to losing? i remember the post fight interview he was in a hurry to get the hell away from Jim Grey..
    If the ref had penalized Peter for rabbit punching like he should have, and taken points away Mccline would be champ:hey
    Peter rabbit punches every opponent he faces and that **** has gotta stop, pisses me off..:fire

    In light of this fight, I have trouble picking Peter to beat Wlad. After the 2nd Toney fight, I was definitely all over Peter's ballbag about what an improved boxer he was, how he was the future of the HW division. I feel ashamed now.

    Toney was shot by that 2nd fight. Peter boxed much better, but Toney had nothing, where he was smacking Peter repeatedly in the first fight, busted his nose, and even hurt him once or twice.

    That's true. Toney fought a much better fight the first time around. It was close, but it seemed like Sam forgot everything in this fight with Jameel.

    We'll know more about Samuel Peter after he fights Maskaev. An impressive KO and people get excited about him again. A decision loss or a knockout loss and he falls off the map.

    He said something about not minding if he lost by a point or 2, but not by that wide of margin. As far as Peter fouling, every fighter fouls just like in any physical sport fouls happen. I really seen both men fouling so I could understand the ref not taking a point away, I thought the ref did alright.
