Bad Show From Samuel Peters

[Otley]

Well there we go.....what a big let down that was. At the time i thought Peters was getting back into the fight....I was thinking maybe Vitali is getting a little tired now and Peters will some how get Vitali outta there with a desperation last gasp knock out punch. It never happened and Peters will go down in boxing History has only the second champion to quit in his corner. The other champ was Liston when he quit against Ali with a damaged shoulder.

Sadly for Peters that will be the only comparison he has with Liston.

I wonder if Peters can now be added to a list of champions who looked for a way out when the situation got a little too rough. I can mention a few -

Tyson vs Holyfield II
Douglas v Holyfield
Liston v Ali I
