I will certainly agree that Sam fought a "short little fat man" and I believe that the "short little fat man" won a close fight...The reason for my opinion on Peter is that, this time he fought a "compact" fight throwing tighter straighter punches than I have ever seen him throw before....gone were the wide looping and wild right hands that Wlad timed pretty well and made Peter pay...I also saw for the first time a counter left hook which he was able to land on James Toney who is no easy target...

If Peter can continue getting better as he get's through Oleg, I believe his next Wlad fight has the potential to be a different fight than the first one...Not claiming that he will KO Wlad or vice versa, but I believe it will look much differently from a boxing perspective....It's a fight that has become more interesting to me based on the improvement I've seen in Sam Peter....Yes Wlad has the knowledge he can land and hurt with the left hook, but I think Sam will be able to land more significant punches as well....
