Wlad 247 Peter 241

[El Kabong]

247 is a bit heavy for Wlad....I reckon he's gunning for the early KO as speculated. Sam is in great shape....this should be a good action packed short fight.

I thought the same thing about the 247...His chest from the picture does not look as defines as usual....Though I find it hard to believe that Wlad is not in top shape he has always been a physical specimen.....Peter looks GREAT maybe the best he ever has....You can tell he has put in his work...He can be outboxed pretty sure enough but he has shown in the past he improves after close fights or losses...Maybe he is taking this more seriously then past fights where he depended too much on power?...

Either way I am looking forward to this one

I didn't mean to imply that Wlad isn't in terrific shape...it was more a question of strategy. The heavier Wlad I reckon the more he's looking at standing his ground, the lighter Wlad is the more he's looking to be mobile or at least that's what his weight suggests to me looking at past fights.

Here's video of the weigh-in


...looks like Sam Peter didn't like the staredown too much

Just watched the entire first fight between these guys, Wlad took some really good shots, I didn't remember that.

Man this is going to be an awesome fight!

Just seen the weigh in vid over at fightnews and I have to say that Peter looks in really good condition. He's a naturally big man, but doesn't look at all fat. He's as ripped as he is ever going to get. I hope he doesn't go into a shell like against Vitali, but coes out looking to press Wlad and land some hard blows.

I'm quite looking forward to this too. Lol, at Hornfinger who seemed to think Haye/Harrison was in any way comparable to this. Wlad should win, but this is a proper matchup, not like that joke of a fight.

Could be...Like I said I was just going by the pic that was posted and his chest looked a bit flat but I seen other pics of him from the weigh in and he look in fine shape....He may be thinking of standing his ground...This is the heaviest he has been since the Austin fight and he bullied the shit out of a 6'6" 247lb man that night
