Vitali Klitschko - Sam Peter

[Bomp]

Here we go at again . . . Lewis was no losing the Klit fight . In round 6 Vitali was almost knocked out . Lewis won the round big so he was incharge when the fight was stopped.

As for Peter - Vitali . I go against the consensus . Peter did well against teh better brother and had him down afew times. Vitali is alot slower, not as good a boxer and is ringrusty . Much closer fight IMO.

Exactly, both guys were seriously gassed before the 6th, and it was Lewis who digged deeper.

Lewis had to dig deeper than he has probably ever had to in that fight. The momentum was with vitali after rd3 and he had landed bombs that genuinely hurt lewis, but a great champion is always able to adapt and even out of shape and out of sorts lewis swung the fight in his direction through some excellent work behind the jab which busted klitschko up.

I never believe a world championship fight should be stopped on cuts unless their is genuine danger to the fighter. But that was a pretty nasty gash and klitschkos team couldnt even get it under control when they working away at it in the corner.

The right call was made, by 10/11 it would of opened up right across vitalis face and could of done some permenant damage!!

Peter is in big trouble, McCline had him in all sorts of trouble, Vitali will destroy him, he may not be what he was but the power won't leave him and he has a great chin. Good night Mr Peter, duck this fight if you can, or say goodbye to your new belt
