Bad Show From Samuel Peters

Well there we go.....what a big let down that was. At the time i thought Peters was getting back into the fight....I was thinking maybe Vitali is getting a little tired now and Peters will some how get Vitali outta there with a desperation last gasp knock out punch. It never happened and Peters will go down in boxing History has only the second champion to quit in his corner. The other champ was Liston when he quit against Ali with a damaged shoulder.

Sadly for Peters that will be the only comparison he has with Liston.

I wonder if Peters can now be added to a list of champions who looked for a way out when the situation got a little too rough. I can mention a few -

Tyson vs Holyfield II
Douglas v Holyfield
Liston v Ali I

It was Vitali fighting him and not Wlad, Wlad already beat him.

Well he could have taken more punishment and have Vitali retire him. It wasn't Sam Peter's night and now he lives to fight again, he's going to be a contender and that's about it

I knew he was not that good shortly after the McCline fight

I was disappointed too. I thought he might not have the skill but he has the heart....I guess not...

As ive already said in another thread Vitali to make history being the only Heavyweight to comeback straight into a world title fight and win and then to for him and his brother to be the only brothers to be Heavyweight champ at same time. The big entrance all the former champs saying Vitali you can do it then Peter quits on his stool then after there all smiles shaking hands and stuff baring in mind Sam Peter is meant to hate these brothers. He never tried to win and Vitali never tried to knock him out really. Peter fought 2 fights with a slick fighter like Toney and keeps his head and wins both fights yet against a one dimensional fighter in comparison to Toney he loses his head and quits. All i could think is FIX!! even when he heard the scores and quit and his corner is saying to Peter what what it all looked a bit wooden to me proper crap acting.
