i just rewatched klitschkos fight against hard hitting sam peter and although klitschko showed a good perfomance he just fought a unproved kid. now sam peter is more experienced, he fought toney twice and won. when the two wshould meet each other again peter will avoid klitschkos holding and knock him out, i am sure. what do you think?
No way , he will stay for long time in the top. He won a lot of money in the last three years. He gets from RTL 12 milion for four fights and from HBO same 10 to 15. With 25 milion he choicing fighters and some of them he paying with money to let him to beat them.
I am just not that impressed by Peter. Toney was totally shot, and Peter still had trouble with this fat, cigar smoking 38 year old middleweight. The only other things Sam has accomplished are knocking out Williams (those or us who were Tuesday night fans know about Jeremy's chin) and putting down Wladdy three times before losing. Bottom line- eitehr his power is overrated, or he just really needs to develope other skills. Allow me to completely agree that it is well within the realm of possibility. Peter has some pop, and Wladdy's chin...well...we know about that. What Peter would have to do is work on getting inside, develope more of a right hand, and above all, keep that weight off so he can keep the pressure on.
Klitdchko proved a lot in that fight, mostly to himself, he took Sams punches and two of those KD's were back of the head punches while holding, one was a clean right hand when Vlad was backing up,Vlad got up and dominated and showed late power by rocking Peter with a wicked left hook. Vlad has improved since that fight( and officials are on the lookout for his repeated illegall back of the head shots) I see a rematch being an easiler fight for Vlad who may stop Peter the next fight...Vlads problem fights may come from Sultan/Ruslin winner (these guys will provide pressure) also fight with Vichis,Valuev,Thompson are all winnable fights but not void of danger for Vlad
2artani Funny... Brewster was very popular because of his agressive style... If it's so easy to buy fighters to beat, why Don King didn't pay Meehan, Krasniqi and Lyakhovich? They gave to Lamon a lot of trouble unstead of going down fast as Golota did. Wanna say King is more honest than Klitchko?
This time dident been Don KIng . King is not any more Brewster manager. Brewster is quite , his eyes is destroyed , he gets some good money with Wlad and will look to take some more with another easy fighter and will retired.
I'm not about this time, I'm about the previous ones. Why King put Brewster at risk with many fighters if it is so easy to by them, eh? If fighter believes he has a chance to win, he can take money and still knock the opponent out; OR, if bribe is paid post-fight, f..k the bribe as the rematch or fights with other popular fighter (like Holifield) will provide more money than bribe - and certain money.
Thats because as wlad lunged in and grabbed he turned away meaning the back of his head is what he left in the path of a peter punch from the swing he could throw while being grabbed. Blame wlad, he is the one that lunged in to grab, in fact if he hadnt done that he wouldnt have lost his legs and gone down the 2nd time.
a blind man saw that brewster should lose. come on and wake up, he just did do nothing and his trainer said stop because of his eyes. peter and chagaev are the men to give wladimir a tough fight. if he can win those fights i and other boxingfans have to give him credit and accept him as the king of heavyweight, but now he is just the best beltholder.
Any other ref than randy neuman would of been on th elook out for wlads lunge, grab and lean tactics, its unbelievable that that guy didnt warn him until rd 11.
you are right. chagaev is not well known, either in the us nor in germany but when he beats ibragimov and he will knock him out he should have made a lot of noise and conquer tdr. steelhammer. that would be funny: wladimir loses his belt and vitali wins one-brothers dream is gone forever!
hang on i put up my number of real clinches in the wlad peter fight (62 all up). and on top of THAT, peter fell into wladimir a LOT of those times. what is wladimir supposed to do? if peter has a great desire to suck on wladimir's nipple, should wladimir be the gentleman and push peter back to arms length and so "here you go, have a shot at me." bull****. the reason why peter fell into wladimir's chest so often prompting the clinch was because PETER didn't want to stay at that painful range and get blasted. he might have a great chin, but no one likes to get beat up by the nasty power puncher. if peter doesn't bullrush wladimir as much as last time he WILL be ko'ed and in the mid rounds too. and remember wladimir was only a couple fights removed from a disasterious couple losses so he needed that fight to prove he can take it.... he took it well, and nearly closed the show in the 12th. i agree peter learned a thing or two againsst toney BUT that will only help him against slick, smaller cunning fighters. NOT against a huge outside power puncher. different styles. oh, and peter was the fittest he ever was against klitschko. dont be fooled by talk that he was actually fitter in the second toney fight. he once sparred wladimir and was beaten around so badly that his corner pulled him out and went home. i believe this story as wladimir did the same thing in the actual fight. peters ONLY chance in a rematch is to wild like a madman even if he gasses after 4 rounds cause if he tries jabbing his way in that will never work against wladimir. i agree wladimir shouldn't have turned his head on the first knock down but that in no way excuses for peter for unleashing a big rabbit punch. no excuse whatso ever. so aside from one legit knock down which didn't exactly make wladimir glassy eyed, i truly believe an even more confident and peaked wladimir will destroy peter in 10 rounds or less. wladimir will move and jab even more in a rematch and then lay down the hammer at the right moments. he will not relax and lose focus like in the first fight... and you can be as sure as hell that he and steward will be training to nullify the rabbit punches. :deal p.s. and what's this about being green? peter had more experience than other fighters who fought wladimir because he SPARRED HIM! if that didn't clue peter into a few ideas and tricks then he'll never learn.
