Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis THE FACTS Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice. Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and was out on his feet, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt out on his feet several times in the fight and was getting outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, outclassed, outlanded and outboxed by Vitali. punches landed Vitali 156 Lewis 102 Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued. After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****. The whole crowd cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis. Lewis promised Vitali a rematch. Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The gutless coward Lewis retired shortly after that fight. Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali. Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement. George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!" Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight" Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch. Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.
Sam Peters will come back when he is dedicated. And when he is dedicated he is a threat to any heavyweight including W Klitschko as displayed in the first
We must admit Sam Peter is a never-was. Go back to when he was praised by the media, some people went as far as dubbing him the new Tyson and ****, but I look at one of his old interviews in which he tells about the days he was elected on Nigeria's amateur boxing team, the fact of the matter is that they took him because he knocked a couple of kids straight out with the first punches he threw. But as soon as someone was able to counter his raw aggression with skill and technique that's where Sam Peter's amateur days were over. He dropped out of the competing ranks in his first tournament, with his maximum achievement being a loss in a 1/8 final or a quarter final. You could tell he wasn't going to make it to the top at least from watching his fight against Shufford. The fact that he did so well as he did against Klitschko-jr was a personal shock to me. I will write it off to Wladdy's shaky psychological situation at the time, I would say Sam was lucky to catch him at the worst state of mind. Thankfully the following fights vs both Klitschkos showed who's who.
This content is protected rumors are surfacing that Peter's supposed to face this guy on during Oktoberfest in Germany, location yet unknown
Hopefully retired. He took some horrendous beatings against the Klits and was knocked out brutally against Helenius. Hopefully he made good money and can live like a king in Nigeria.
I actually think the Peter that showed up to fight Wlad the first time was a real dangerous fighter for most guys.... (and anyone who thinks that Peter was fat for that fight, hasnt a clue) and dont think Wlad, given the type of fighters that give him problems, gets enough credit for that win.
He was in olympics and that wasnt his first tournament. It takes alot to qualify in Olympics He did won a world title in pros
