Peter's team should have put language in the contract that guarantees his money regardless of whether or not Klitschko fights. Either that or have an opponent on standby just in case.
There are strict financial penalties in effect should VITKLIt no show...they are severe enough that team Peter actually expects him to show up.
Vitali is looking very quick. He has a lot of experience and his training has been going extremely well. The only way Peter can win is if Vitali were to take a dive, but I doubt if he will do that even for huge money.
bull****. Wladimir won this fight against Peter, he was not ko, he stand up like a great champ and outpointet Peter !!! Peter by KO until round 7.
Vitali by close decision. If he really wants to win this nightmare he has to stay away from Peter and jab all night from the first bell on. Learn from the best (brother WK) - jab, jab, clinch will do it! Or play the hit and run game if your fitness is really on that high level! IMHO it is suicide to stand and trade with Peter. If Vitali tries to he will loose. Forget exhausting power punching. What Vitali needs to win the rounds are accurate shots to get the points, and to bring some good actions in the last 10 secs of every round. Yes Peter is beatable. But there is still a big risk, esp. for s/o with so much ring rust like VK.
we'll know after the first round. if Vitali looks like half the fighter he used to be Peter is ****ed , but 4 years is a looooooooong time !
