    I don't know-

    Sam Peter has learned over 2 fights with James Toney he can't always rely on his power. Also with the 2nd Toney fight we saw that Peter can actually be nimble and light on his feet when he wants to be and can shed weight. I think Vitali hasn't taken that tune-up fight for a reason- either he has it or he doesn't and he's looking to answer that question with a titleholder he can make some change from as opposed to some walking corpse for Vitali to look bad against. Persistent injuries don't get better with time. One's dual interests in boxing and political office shows a lack of focus for either- it's not like they're complimentary.

    Vitali IMO isn't as hurt by ring rust as most fighters as his style is already awkward and has no real rhythm to it.

    Vitali is pretty solid on defense, he leans back and I doubt Sam can reach him even with the wide looping punches he's bound to start with. Vitali has good one punch power and can throw a variety of shots.

    After the debacle vs McCline, I think Sam Peter is primed for a KO loss.

    ...if Vitali loses for whatever reason I think it sets up nicely for Wladimir to rule the entire division.

    I have to agree with Lyle , Peter is going to get KOED ,

    If Peter didn't tire against Wlad he could've taken him out late imo he already knocked him down 3 times but there are going to be more questions about Vitali's stamina if this fight goes into the later rounds could we actually see Peter being the one coming on strong ?

    I think Vitali knows that he got only one at best two fights left in him...and both Klitschkos want desperately write boxing history becoming the first brothers having HW titles at the same time...

    If Vitali can put his injury history behind him he should even after 4 years beat Peters more or less easily and after that the value of both Klitschkos would rise enormously...

    Vitali has struggled enough trying to make it through a training camp let only a fight!

    But it was his only move really as who's to say he would not of got injured again after a warm up fight.

    The 4 years of is going to be telling!

    I'm backing Peter big time, as both Klitschko's claiming to be champion is just bad for the game!!! We won't get a undisputed champion that way. Vitali should have kept his a** retired & listened to his body which has been clearly telling him he can't do this no more! If not for himself then at least for the sport!

    I think any fighter waltzing in off 4 years absence of competition let alone, a top tier fighter runs the risk of meeting dizaster 1st time out.

    How much in gym prep?Sparring. Range can give Peter panick moments ,A polished fighter may have finished Sam unlike Mccline who shot it all and watched Peter get up & adjust down the stretch.Sam will have to press action but It boils down to where Vitali is physically and mentally right now ??

    yeah i agree. i think vitali will just keep peter away with his size. vitali is also more durable than wlad so I see vitali winning a lop sided decision
