all in the same round or were distribuited in different rounds ? It's quite
uncommon in boxing being knocked down three times but still winning a fight! It
reminds me (of) Moore-Durelle and Mesi-a guy whose name I can't remember in this
moment.Thanks.|

either fighter.Klitschko was his typical self, lacking balance, lacking
confidence getting knocked down a lot.Peter, well I feel that he is somewhat
over-rated this early in the game. If Klitschko was able to tie him up and keep
him in the centre of the ring for the entire fight, not to mention survive a
number of his powerhouse knockdowns... well give me Lamon Brewster. He's got it
over both of these fighters. What is the next big heavy contest for us to
look forward to???|

knockdowns happened in the fifth round, two of them, and in the tenth round.
The decision was fair as Peter just didn't throw enough punches in the
other rounds and Klitschko scored more points. All three judges scored it 114
to 111.Joey, you are right, it showed the flaws of both fighters, but I
do believe Klitschko gained confidense by surviving the knockdowns and fighting
back.It was an important fight for Klitschko though as he was able to
overcome a lot of adversity and he came out on top. A lot of people didn't
think he could do it.Peter is very strong and he hits very hard. He
does need to work on setting up his punches better and he needs to throw more of
them but like I said, at twenty five years old there is time for him to improve
these skills.Peter himself takes a hell of a punch as even though he was
wobbled in the last round he took some hard punches from Klitschko and he was
still standing, impressive. |

heavyweight fight Sat night. I thought Peter fought pretty well considering his
lack of experience with top fighters. Going 12 rounds should help season him and
he certainly wasn't digraced. You've also got to give credit to Klitschko for
taking on such a tough fighter as Peter. Seeing Peter stalk Klitschko around the
ring, well it gave me the feeling one mistake by Klitschko and its over for him.
I thought the knockdowns by Peter were kind of cheap though..back of head
punches and some were punch push type. There were times where Klitschko was in
big trouble though. And Klitschko does have a big lapse during fights where he
is vulernable..if he fights though it he seems to get a second wind which is
exactly what happened during fight. ON the plus side for Peter he has an
iron jaw. He also is resistant to cuts and eye swelling..very tough guy. He took
everything Klitschko could throw and laughed at it, except for sneaky left hook
in last round that staggered him.The fight kind of reminded me of
Tua/Ibeabuchi slug fest of a few years ago. Ibeabuchi won on close decision. If
Ibeabuchi had he stayed clean he probably would have wiped all these current
heavys out. This post below seems to indicate that Tua fight damaged Ibeabuchi
and caused him to act
bizarre.http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news/barker0309.php|
|9/26/05 02:39:57 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Kent, thanks again.One day probably
this Samuele Pietro is gonna fight Vitali and it will be interesting. Vitali can
take a punch much better than his brother, but probably is not as powerful. It's
probably a better matchup than Vitali-Rahman (TSK,TSK). Rahman would have a much
better chance against Wladimir.Yesterday I have seen (or saw) for the
first time the legendary Ali'-Folley fight. I was impressed by how good Folley
performed. He hit Ali' to the head many times, not many fighters ever could hit
Ali' to the head so often (not even George Foreman). And that was Ali' at his
very best while Zora was a little over the hill. Zora Folley had good power in
his punches, he was really good. Ali's win was very clear, but not an easy one.
Angelo Dundee said "the greatest fight he ever looked was against Folley". Well,
