Klitschko vs. Peter: How long will Wladimir’s legs carry him before Samuel puts him out of his misery?

By Dave Lahr: If you’ve seen the previous fight between the younger Wladimir Klitschko and Samuel Peter five years ago, you’ll notice immediately that Wladimir chose to run for 12 rounds rather than risking fate by attempting to trade shots with the more powerful Peter. And even though Wladimir ran like a jackrabbit for 12 rounds, he was still knocked down three separate times by the devastating punches from Peter. Now Wladimir is no longer a young rabbit, and has matured into a slower, more stationary fighter who has to get by with his power and his jab more than previously. On September 11th, Wladimir, with his legs now pretty much gone, will be facing a still lethal Peter in a 12 round bout with Klitschko’s two heavyweight titles, the IBF and WBO, on the line in their fight at the Commerzbank-Arenka, in Frankfurt, Germany.

There is expected to be at least 50,000 screaming German fans in attendance, rooting all the way for Klitschko in hopes that he doesn’t knocked around the ring like he did five years ago at the hands of Peter. Having seen that fight a number of times, I feel that Peter would have easily beaten Wladimir had the referee stopped Wladimir’s constant clinching and grabbing. I lost track of all the clinching that Wladimir was doing in each round, because after 10 clinches in one round, it just too much for me to count. The mind can only handle seeing so many clinches before it becomes numb and falls asleep.

I just wish the referee had done his job in that fight and penalized and disqualified Wladimir accordingly. I doubt that the disqualification really would have been necessary, because after Wladimir was penalized for the 3rd or 4th time, he would probably gotten the hint by then that he wasn’t going to be able to get away with hugging Peter all night and would have forced himself to stand and trade with Peter. In that case, I think Peter would have knocked Wladimir out in no time flat.

I think Peter is going to be ready for Wladimir when he tries his old tricks of clinching on September 11th, and will beat the stuffing out of Wladimir when he wraps Peter up like a mummy. Once Peter gives Wladimir a taste of his power by tagging him in the side of the head in the clinch, I suspect that Wladimir run, run and run to prevent Peter hitting him again. Well, when you have skinny legs like Wladimir, they tend tire out after awhile and then he has to come up with other ideas. At that point, I think Pete is going to hit Wladimir in the breadbasket with a hard right hand and then follow it up with a shot to the head that will have Wladimir staggering around the ring like a drunk. I see this going down as a replay of Wladimir’s fight against Lamon Brewster where Wladimir became ill all of a sudden after tasting a big right hand from Brewster in the 5th. Wladimir looked like a fish out of a water, flopping around on the canvas while the referee attempted to right him.

    Dave Lahr

    i now know your secret… u have been juicing up on aside meth all this time…

    you are a retard.

    you are the biggest moron i have ever encountered.

  • Anonymous says:

    the wierd part of this Article is ,is that Peters is made to order for styles as a competetive fight.Peters will have to storm him early again.But wlad wont run.it will be a standoff.

  • greedy says:

    I’m gonna watch this fight. I think the longer the fight last the better chance Klitschko will win. You can’t deny the power the Peter have and if he gets in close, he can end this fight early (PUNCHER’S CHANCE)

  • and´re says:

    So Peter has a big chance and Wladimir have to run all night!?
    This moron is so silly. How much money will mr. Lahr bet on a win for Sam Peter ?. :-)

  • PATPUMP says:

    @ MR Lahr…..would you be willing to make a bet on it……

  • Anonymous says:

    He looks incredably fit to say that.

  • Jamie says:

    mr. lahr, do you actually think wlad will even barely be touched ? you must hate him very babdley because if youe an un bias writter you would have to be retarded

  • Perseus says:

    Mr. Lahr:

    I normally try to refrain from negativity, but after your last article entitled “why I hate the Klitschkos” and now this dribble, I have to come to the conclusion that you are either a boxing Philistine or an anti-white racist – or both !

  • ashishwarrior says:

    this guy serious

  • mar says:

    Dave,Pac-man is the best fighter today..

  • Mr T says:

    Big G has it spot on – Dave Lahr won’t write anything positive about anyone who isn’t a yank. Pacman, the Klits, Amir Khan – 3 examples of very different but talented fighters from different countries who regularly get slated by Mr Lahr. The only thing they have in common is that they’re not from the US.

  • vitali quitsko says:

    At last a writer that makes sence,could not have put it better myself…..get rid of that ukrain pedo!

  • Klitschko fan says:

    Mr. Lahr, what drugs are you taking?

  • pivovar says:

    THIS GUY LARD HAS GOT TO GO AS A WRITER ALL HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT wLADIMER IS NEGATIVE THINGS NOW FOR ABOUT HIS LAST THREE WRITINGS ON kLITSCHKO.
    IN THE LAST MEETING DID YOU MENTION THE HARD RABBIT PUNCHES pETER LANDED AND WHEN ON ONE KNEE pETER BELTED HIM, nO YOU MENTION ABOUT THE CLINTHIN WLADIMER DOES THAT’S PART OF BOXING MR LARD ASS.
    OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST WLADIMER OR YOU WOULDN’T WRITE SUCH NEGATIVE REMARKS AGAINST THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT SINCE DEMPSEY.

  • boxing fan says:

    Guru. Bookmakers has/ 1.11 Vlad – Peter 6.00 /Yeah it’s 50-50 :)

  • James says:

    i just laugh at you guys who think peter is gonna win this fight Wladimir Klitschko would not take this fight if he wasn’t conferdent i think another win for Klitschko.

  • Pedja C says:

    Dave, I feel realy sorry for you!!! You prooved once again that you are stoopid idiot!!! Please, turn your brain ON!!!

  • BIG G says:

    If wlad fought me hed ask for a rematch clause fs its a heavyweight fight lucky punches happen and any1 who didnt take a rematch clause wud ne stupid.as for lahr and this site i find it shockin some ppl can post articles cause they r racist and slanderous towards any1 not a fat yank esp us brits.im thinkin they dont like the pendulum of talent is swining r way.

  • CLEAN-t says:

    All you sammy hater,after sep.11 i am goin to give each person backing wladimir to win an interview.Peter have already won this one,its goin to be one of the easiest fight of his career.Most guy that wladimir had in the past didnt came to fight but just came for the money,this is a great competition for him and hes very aware of the risk b4 him,Most funny part of it is that,he asked samuel peter for rematch in the contract he gave him which means hes not 100% sure of winning the fight.sam will crush him betwen round 6 and 7

  • LOKO says:

    Ppl always hate to hear the truth,the refree prevented wladimir from being knockedout in there first fight.very very iritating fight,excess of clinching,thats just the fact.All i know is that wladimir can never stand and trade punch with peter.no way.he will do some running and clinching again.u can improve boxing skill but u cant improve ur chin.simple.Definately theres goin to be a new champ.

  • Ryan Leslie says:

    Sam Peter has no chance in this fight at all. Wlad is just too good at the moment, he is at this moment in time unbeatable and I can’t see any current HW get close to beating him.

    Peters power will not trouble Wlad at all as he won’t get near him all night

  • rick says:

    Mr Lahr is obviously a Haye fan. What will Mr Lahr say when Wladimir KO’s ot TKO’s Peter? Wladimir’s KO punch to Chambers has made Chambers think about going to the cruiser divsion. Wladimir is at the top of his game right now.

  • Punchy Potorff says:

    Interesting scenerio, and hopefully it does go that way. Peter does have the power, but can he catch Wlad? That’s the big question, and probably the answer is no. Hail Mary’s don’t happen too often.

  • bernie says:

    To Mr.Lahr
    I am West Indian and I must say that you go out of your way to pander to a certain element that subscribes to a certain way of thinking. The Klitschko brothers at this point in this time are unbeatable. 3 men have openly backed down from a fight with them. Haye, Valuev and Povetkin. Eddie Chambers had guts and he may have paid dearly with his career. Samuel has not had a competitive fight with anyone since the brutish beating he took from Vitali. What axe do you have to grind Mr Lahr.

  • jeff meyers says:

    brilliant analysis…

    completely acknowledges how much Wlad has improved since fighting Peter the first time as well as how spectacular Peter has done lately.

    I haven’t seen one single boxing writer EVER suggest Klitschko should have been disqualified the first bout. yes, he clinched, but that is allowed.

    I would bet the writer $500 that Wladimir wins. he wouldn’t take the bet, and I’d bet another $100 on that.

  • Guy says:

    Steward will want Wladimir to stop him this time.

    It can happen. McCline had Peter won a couple of times and he quit against Vitali so he is stoppable.

  • boxing fan says:

    Dave Lahr – RACIST

  • boxing fan says:

    AUTHOR – RACIST, YOU OBVIOUSLY WAS PAID BY RACIST ALSO, YOU ARE PATHETIC IDIOTS, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU

  • Anonymous says:

    ROFL DAVE LAHR NOT ONE OF YOUR DODGEY ARTICALS AGAIN!!@@%%%

  • boxing fan says:

    Author, turn ON your brain before starting to write your pointless essays. Btw you are RACIST

  • BigSlyNHS says:

    I hope he does get KO’d so hard he has to retire but since that wont happen we’ll just have to wait until beats Peter and hopefully David Haye can fight this guy and put him to sleep!!!
