The first time Wlad was at a low point in his career, 4-2 in his last 6 fights suffering 2 KO's to Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster he was uncomfortable in the ring and just getting used to Manny Steward in his corner. Sam Peter was quite the opposite, he was undefeated, showed huge power and was seemingly invincible.
Flash forward 5 years and now Sam Peter is at the crossroads of his career, he's 4-2 in his last 6, been stopped (for the first time) by Vitali Klitschko and lost a decision vs Eddie Chambers. Since then he has rebounded quite nicely. Wladimir is now the one looking invincible, he hasn't been down since the last time he fought Sam Peter and he has just pitched shut outs vs damn near everyone.
How do you see this one going? I think the first fight was exciting and had some drama in it...I think the rematch may have a little more action and a little less drama. I think Wlad's jab has improved greatly and since he hooks off the jab more often now he'll set up lots of big right crosses but I think the left hook is what finishes Sam Peter off around 5-7 and it'll be that early because Sam (being in shape and gunning for a KO himself) will press Wlad and just eat too many punches in return
