Vitali klitschoko a favorite? Do you agree?

[kingfrnk]

Well everyone would agree, that Vitali in 2004 destroy Peter. The big question is whether we will see the Vitali of 2004 or an older less effective Vitali.

Exactly, how can we have any idea what to expect, apart from severe ring rust?

That's what I'm putting my prediction on (Peter KO).....sheer inactivity.

yep me 2

who was he suppose to fight for a warm up again before he got injuried?

I believe it was McCline.

[hfahrenheit]

It would be great for the heavyweight division and for boxing in general is Vitali is back and better than ever... if he knocked peter out in rounds 1-3, can you imagine effect? it would be like a shocking the division back from a heart attack (defibrillator).

But beyond an out of shape, back of the head punching peter, who the hell knows what to expect? (i know, let's all keep guessing)

VK- 2/5
SP- 7/4

that crazy odds if u ask me...

[Hume]

Vitali has to be the overwhelming favourite. greater reach, better skill, fought better opponents. I think SP will be in for a shock when this fight happens. Vitali was kingpin when he left 4 years ago and the division (apart from his brother) hasn't improved. In fact it's in decline.
prediction: vitali KO's peter inside 9 rds.

Sam Peter is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in this fight.


If Sam wins, he wins vs a guy who hasn't set foot in the ring in 4 years.

If Sam loses, he loses to a guy who hasn't set foot in the ring in 4 years.


The only bonus for winning is that Wlad would more than likely fight a rematch with him in which case I would 100% expect a big time woodshed whoopin beatdown would be handed to Sam Peter.

So Sam can't win....even if he wins

How do you pick a winner in this one? Very tough.

Vitali ain't fought since 2004, has been involved in politics in his home country of Ukraine and is notoriously injury prone.

Peter on the other hand has been lacking focus due to outside of the ring distractions like his wife and her family alledgedly trying to shoot him cos he beats her. (The case went to a court in his home country of Nigeria)

No wonder Peter looked awful against the average fringe contender McCline.

I don't know who wins but its live on Setanta so I'll be tuning in.

Interesting to read back over this thread after watching the fight.

I dont know whether Vitali should be favourite. A lot of question marks.

This is the first time Ive really wanted Peter to win a fight, and he probably wont win because I said that. But here's hoping.

No shame in pickin this one wrong mate, there were enough questions about both fighters to really justify any result.

Hahaha!!

No, its all in the game. Im just upset that I got up at five in the morning to watch it. Not even competitive. Two picks and both completely off. Nothing new!!

[kingfrnk]
