PETER + KLITSCHKO REMATCH: = HAMMER TIME


Wladimir Klitschko (54-3-0, 48 KO) vs. Samuel Peter (34-3-0, 27 KO)
09-11-2010, Commerzbank Arena, Frankfurt, Germany



This is not the year of the upset, it is the year of the pullout. While champions are scrambling for decent opponents, fighters forced in taking lesser fights. You have Guys like Klitschko, Pacquiao, and many others fighting people they shouldn't. The fact of the matter is we should be watching Klitschko-Haye, or Klitschko-Povetkin, not Klitschko-Peter. Although I enjoy watching Peter knocking guys out. I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning. He basically has a glorified puncher's chance, and that is about it. He knocked Wladimir down 3 times in their previous engagement, en rout to a unanimous decision loss. That fight happened when Peter was 24-0, and was knocking out everyone. Lets also not forget that Wladimir was knocked out 3 fights prior by Lamon Brewster. Since that fight Peter has been knocked out by Wladimir's older brother Vitaly. Sam also lost to Eddie Chambers, who Klitschko dominated and knocked out. The names, and records of the people he has beaten since his last loss are also very suspect. He got a gift decision against James Toney in their first fight. He did beat a slow, lethargic and out of shape Toney in their rematch. The last time Peter met him in the ring, Klitschko wasn't so sure of himself confidence wise. He is a totally different fighter who now has the supreme confidence of a dominant heavyweight champion. This is in most part due to his tutelage from boxing master scientist, and trainer Emanuel Steward. He took a scared, weak chinned kid and made him the most dominant heavyweight champ since his last student Lennox Lewis. Don't try and hate on him because he has a style you don't like. Because he is pretty much unbeatable in today's heavyweight landscape. He doesn't need the American boxing public s approval either. He sells huge numbers of tickets, gets a ton of TV revenue, and sponsorship in Germany. Dumb Out is not going to pump this fight up like every other site. We are going to bill it as it is, an interesting 2ND, or 3rd choice heavyweight title match. I'm gonna watch this fight because I watch every fight, and I think you should do the same.

I stopped reading once I read that Klitschko is fighting people he shouldn't. You clearly have no idea whats going on in the heavyweight division so don't pretend.
