WITH eight days to go to the World Heavyweight WBC title fight between Nigeria’s Samuel Peter and Ukraine’s Vitali Klitschko, the Nigerian Nightmare has dismissed fears about Klitschko’s sparring partner.
Peter
Klitschko had boasted that he was sparring with a boxer as rugged as Peter, noting that he would use the advantage to floor Peter and snatch the WBC crown. But the Nigerian Nightmare who has been receiving favourable tips from boxing afficionados said that there was no sparring partner that could fight as he does.
“I don’t want to know who he’s sparring. I’m Samuel Peter. I don’t want to watch your tape. I don’t want to know your sparring fighter. Nobody can survive my style. You said you have a sparring fighter like Samuel Peter. Nobody fights like me. Nobody punches like me. When I punch you, you’ll remember you made a mistake.”
When Klitschko’s PR person, Bernd Boente, complained about Peter punching to the back of the head, Peter fired back with another excellent response, saying, “It was clean punches on the chin. Everybody says I hit in the back of the head. Why do you turn your head? You’re a boxer. Don’t turn your head. You bob and weave. It’s a right hand. That’s your head. I don’t need to hit anyone behind the head. If you turn your head I hit you, because that’s not your face. A good boxer should bob and weave. Move side to side behind the head.”
This was in regards to Wladimir Klitschko, who quite frequently would turn his head to the side when Peter would attack him, causing punches from Peter that would normally have landed to the front of Wladimir’s head, but ended up hitting him on the back of the head due to Wladimir turning his head to the side to avoid the shots. It looked for all practical purposes like a strategy to get the referee to step in and stop Peter from getting his shots off. It didn’t work, though, because the referee allowed Peter to throw the shots because he likely saw what I saw, in other words, Wladimir turning his head to avoid getting hit.
Peter then added, “Vitali, you turn your head, I’m hitting you, I’m telling you right now.” Vitali went on to say that he now feels great, and is ready to take back his title after being out for three and half years. However, Vitali still didn’t come out and comment on his brittle body, which had let him down repeatedly four years, including when he initially made his comeback and was forced to cancel a bout with Jameel McCline. Again, Vitali wasn’t forthright about his problems, and that I found sadly disappointing.
Peter was easily the star of the conference call, making good points about Vitali and his brother Wladimir Klitschko, such as with this quote: “They fight like they’re robots. I beat his brother, (Wladimir Klitschko) but gave him the fight. That does not matter. They both fight like robots. I’m not a robot. I am a skilled fighter and puncher.”
