Klitschko vs. Peter

By Dave Lahr: Samuel Peter could have beaten IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko last Saturday night. All Peter had to do was get evil with Wladimir every time the big Ukrainian grabbed him in one of his many clinches that he did every round. Peter had like 10 chances per round to knock Wladimir out [...]

By William Mackay: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) probably didn’t do anything in his performance last Saturday night to change the minds of HBO executives to start showing Klitschko’s fights any time soon. Wladimir looked tentative for the most part in beating Samuel Peter (34-4, 27 KO’s) by a 10th round TKO. [...]

By Dave Lahr: In looking at last Saturday’s bout between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and challenger Samuel Peter, I couldn’t help but notice that Wladimir’s trainer Emanuel Steward was practically begging Wladimir to stop clinching Peter after the 9th round. It’s too bad that Steward had to wait so long to get on Wladimir’s [...]

By Eric Thomas: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) plans on making a quick return to the ring in December against either 38-year-old former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck or 37-year-old David Tua, according to news from Bild.

By Jim Dower: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) did what he had to do to take Nigerian heavyweight Samuel Peter (34-4, 27 KO’s) out in the 10th round last Saturday night at the Commerzbank-Arena, in Frankfurt, Germany. With the 30-year-old Peter’s right eye nearly closed from the punishment he had absorbed in [...]

By Dave Lahr: Just as I expected, IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) was able to clinch as often as he pleased on Saturday night in defeating former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (34-4, 27 KO’s) by a 10th round TKO while fighting in front of a large pro-Klitschko German crowd [...]

By Mark Hepplestall: There are currently 3 recognized world champions in the heavyweight division, who are Vitali Klitschko (WBC), Wladimir Klitschko (IBO, WBO and IBF) and David Haye (WBA).

By Tom Hatheway: Ring Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko dominated Sam Peter via 10th round TKO in a rematch from 2005. He also defended his IBF, IBO, and WBO titles.

By Peter Wells: Back in 2005 Wladimir Klitschko had the toughest fight of his 57 fight career, well that’s what he said anyway. Still he came out victorious despite hitting the canvas 3 times. Well that fighter was Sam Peter from Nigeria, but since then things haven’t gone all Peter’s way. He pulled his way [...]

Photo credit: KMG/Dmitriy Abramov – By Dave Lahr: The last time Samuel Peter (34-3, 27 KO’s) fought Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s), the Ukrainian fighter was hugging him pretty much all night long at every chance he could get to prevent Peter from throwing his power house punches. It only partially worked, as Peter was [...]

By Dave Lahr: Former WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (34-3, 27 KO’s) has always done remarably well when facing weak-chinned fighters like IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s).

Wladimir, over and over again, clinched Peter any time the Nigerian fighter would get anywhere close to him. [...]
