IF Vitaly makes it to the ring, this will be brutal. The Nigerian plodder will be spitting blood all over the place. I see a repeat of the Kirk Johnson fight.
Fair enough, Samuel still has very strong chin, he proved it against a hard hitting Maskaev, taking his best shots and going nowhere. I think the Vitali fight will show once and for all that the McCline fight was nothing more than a fluke, time will tell.
I agree for right now, but even if Peter gets knocked out you can't call nor will his Chin ever be 'Glass' it would be idiotic to say that he has already proved he does not have a Glass Jaw.
It is really weird that he could take those straight rights from Wlad, yet tumble from an uppercut from McCline.:huh This will be a great fight. Sam will not back down, but he may want to be a little cautious fighting a man with this talent and experience. If Vitali has slowed, than Sam will hang, and may surprise, if he is in shape and sharp,then look for Sam to be very confused and start throwing haymakers, with Vitali connecting with counters and a few uppercuts of his own. This will be one helluva' fight:good
Agreed, though dont expect Vitali to come in at near what he was. His timing and reflexes will be nothing like before, look for Peter to come in guns blazing and try to knock some rust off that chin, if he takes Peter's punches well, Peter may be in for the fight of his life. I would be lying if I said I wasnt a bit nervous, though I do believe Peter will knock Vitali out somewhere in the middle rounds. This will be the Heavyweight fight since Brewster/Liakhovich.
Funny comparison, but I think the term The Real Deal is already taken. In the wake of his younger brother's fame, comes the return of *Vitali The Real Deal Klitschko*.........
VK has always had one mean staredown. He looks like he wouldn't care if he ****ed you up or not. He has killer instinct and is not afraid to go to war. If he is in top form we will se Sam on a stretcher.
I don't think Peter will ever be the same after the Wlad beatdown. Very, very few heavyweights in the history of boxing could have eaten all those shots. However, I am still going with my theory that Peter's fatal flaw is he can't see punches that don't come straight at him. Starting in the 12th round against Wlad, Peter has had numerous trouble from uppercuts and hooks. Both punches are types that Vitali throws much better than Wlad. If Vitali is 70%, he will teabag Peter viciously.
If anything changed Peter, which I'm not stating...it would be 24 rounds with James Toney, not WLAD...Peter can still do his thing post-WLAD as evidenced by Peter-Toney II.
Oh please. Waldo has done much more than Vitlay could ever dream of. So what he came back and beat Corrie Sanders. That's his one claim to fame. The rest of his resume looks like **** compared to his younger brother's.
Just nonsense. The jock riding of Toney has hit an all time high. What exactly did Toney do to Peter other than last 24 rounds? There is no evidence post Wlad. He fought a feather fisted James Toney and couldn't knock him out.
