Samuel Peter is fighting tonight against Julian Long. Anyone know anything about this Long character? Does he pose any threat wahtsoever?
He’s 7 feet tall and like 230-240…he’s a stick figure. He’s 14 (12 KO)-7…he has been KO’d by Tye Fields and Audley Harrison.
This is to once again start the Sam Peter hype machine…the guy needs rounds he doesn’t need spectacular KO’s vs very chinny opposition.
:coolclick: I agree with you, he diffinately needs rounds. They need to start matching him with people that have a good chin and are going to make him work. Peter has some great power, but if it wasnt for that we would never have heard about him. He needs to work on his boxing skills a little more.
Yes it’s more PR and condidence builders for Baby Huey. Instead of going about earning a title shot the respectable way (by fighting good opposition in the top 10) these guys are going to try to have Sam knock this guy out in 1 round so that the less educated boxing fan will feel that this quick KO warrants another immediate title match.
TOTAL BS. This guy went from fighting for a mandatory shot to fighting guys ranked way way way out of the top 10. It’s one thing to fight one confidence builder. but it seems like that’s all that Sam does.
Samuel Peter and Shannon Briggs. Nobody knockes out C, D level fighters like them.
again this sam peter is a heavy handed puncher but lacks skill, they should look to build his skill not just at ko’s to his record
im kinda suprised hes not fighting on HBO or Showtime, thats not a good sign.
The fight was in ESPN2 he won by a strange KO like the B-Hop vs ODLH
I looked like planned
I’m not, he’s not technically sound, Brian Minto looked better than him tonight!
no i based that comment on HBO and Showtime like to pimp their fighters out and milk them and glorify them and over hype them etc etc its rare u go from fighting on showtime for several fights than HBO for your biggest fight ever and then to the OCHO haahha
Oh hush up hater…if that’s the case…then you better start comparing Wladimir Klitschko to Vinny Maddolone.
Your’e still just p!ssed off that Peter dropped your bwoy 3 times.
Sam Peter looked a hell of a lot better than some gotdam Minto.
Don’t really know how he looked cause it was over so early and Long was a sacrificial lamb but he damn sure looked better than Minto, Minto looked crappy to me. And I wasn’t expecting a whole lot, and he still looked crappy
as predicted peter wins easy and learns nothing, we learn nothing more about peter
:coolclick: Best post on this thread about this fight.
