“Who’s next!? Who’s next!?” Was the bombastic message that Samuel Peter yelled at the television camera after he knocked out Taurus “The Bull” Sykes in the second round. After a nondescript first stanza, Peter came out showing more aggression in the second round. Samuel was shooting jabs to the head and body. He followed a jab with a clubbing right hand to the side of Sykes’ head which severely stunned “The Bull,” sending him into the ropes. Peter followed his wounded prey, swinging with evil intention, until a sharp, short right hand landed flush putting Sykes down for the court. The referee, Vic Drakulich, counted to five, and decided to wave the contest off after Taurus looked too hurt to continue. Samuel looked sensational, but it was against Sykes. He still drops his right hand when he shoots the jab making him susceptible to left hooks. He also tends to freeze with any little feints and is wide open for the jab. It will be very interesting to see how Peter does against better opposition.
