Peter is so short?

awwww someone put a little suit on Sam ....he is just adorable


Sam Peter hasn't progressed enough as a fighter to handle someone like Vitali.

[Lance Uppercut]

I have been a long time Klitchko fan, but I will be routing for Peter on this one. 1) because I am sick of Vitali stalling the heavyweight division down to stand still since last year, and 2) I would like to see rematch between Wlad and Peter so that we can have an undisputed heavyweight champion again.

Hope he knocks sam out ,

[The Fightfan]

Dangerous fight for Klitschko now.He hasn't fought in how long ? He is hopping in their with an improved Peter since he fought Wlad. I still hope Vitali beats him down. I just don't like this fella. WHO NEXT !!!

Remember when he put Wlad on his ass 3 times and nearly had him out of there Wlad and Sam are bums.

Remember when he put Wlad on his ass 3 times and nearly had him out of there Wlad and Sam are bums.

I also remember Wlad winning 114-111 on all cards inspite of being knocked down 3 times AND I also remember (though you may be too young to recall ) people gave Wladimir no chance to win that fight after his loss to Sanders and the debacles vs Williamson and Brewster.

So when I say Sam Peter isn't ready to fight Vitali I mean he's a one dimensional fighter and he's also been primed to be KO'd as Jameel McCline AND Oleg Maskaev showed us.

Vitali has never been down before...I'm more worried about how he takes a shot than how he fights, his fighting style is perfect to beat Peter and he's KO'd 32 of the 33 guys he has beaten.



JT he's boxing a little better but he NEEDS to put the pressure on, he gets lazy in the ring right now and the more I watch him the more I see the fat David Tua though without THAT much power

The problem I see here is if he beats Vitali it dosent really prove a hill of beans to me, only because of the long layoff and the propensity to get injured might hold Vitali back in training effectively making it an ugly fight with Vitali holding alot at the end

Now if it was Prime Vitali than I would pick him to dismantle Peter, slow painful and methodically

It's a shame Vitali had the misfortune of being sidelined by injury - I think he could have developed into a very dominant champion. The HW division might have been an entirly different animal with a healthy VK at the top of the heap.

I've seen bits of this on sportnews tv...did anyone notice that on this picture Vitali is making bunny ears behinds Samuels head ?!?



In the following stare down Peter was the first to break eye contact...and Klitscko seemed pleased with winning this first psycological duell...

I dont know johnny I feel like the whole who looked away 1st thing is overrated Peter should be feeling confident since he has been more active and is more boisterous by nature... Then again there has to be a shred doubt fighting a guy who has won all but one of his fights by KO

I look forward to seeing the better Klitschko brother back in the ring
