Anyone who thinks wlad is critisized too much for his win over peter is now in no position to blast peter for doing the exact same thing.
Well those are interesting points


HOWEVER

Sam Peter is a well known power puncher and is also known for having a 'great chin' as his fans brag about

Jameel McCline has 23 KO's in 38 wins...and the last time he knocked someone good down was against Calvin Brock or Chris Byrd a couple years ago.


All I know is that Sam Peter's lack of attention to defense will catch up with him sooner since he got hurt in this fight, people thought he had an iron chin and it's just not true, with heavyweights any punch at any time thrown by anybody (except Zuri Lawrence) can end the fight or result in a knockdown.....that being said it was rather surprising that McCline hurt Sam Peter at all.

Wladimir has been hurt plenty of times before but never by a guy like McCline who can't punch very well at all....Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, and hell even Davaryl Williamson and Ross Purrity can punch.


Anyway you slice it the best Sam Peter can get out of this fight is a learning experiance and the knowledge that he can get up and win....other than that it's a piss poor performance by a heavyweight who should have done a lot better....it's the story of the entire division, there is no consistancy which is what makes fans hate the division. The good fighters may or may not fight well, the bad fighters may have the fight of their lives or just fold like a lawn chair, and beyond that the big matchups have not been made and the inconsitancy is a reason for it
