Samuel Peter vs. Robert Hawkins
Teleconference
By Luis "The Beast" Cadiz
On Thursday, December 15th, Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare"
Peter (24-1, 21 KOs) will be looking to finish off the year
on the winning track again. After his decision loss to
Wladimir Klitschko this past September in Boardwalk Hall
Atlantic City, he wants to erase his own personal nightmare
from his mind by jumping back into action. Peter shouldn't
be so worried what people think of him though, after all, he
did drop Wladimir several times in that fight and he did win
the respect and admiration of all those present that night.
But "The Nigerian Nightmare" is on a mission to literally
pound his way back into the #1 spot in the heavyweight
division and during the teleconference he was bold enough to
say that, "... I'm not going to let the judges determine the
outcome of my fights, my fists will dictate the outcome..."
Here's what else he had on his mind:
Even though it's water under the bridge, what do you
consider was the main reason for you not being to K.O. a
fighter that was, at times, practically out on his feet?
After all, you are a devastating puncher.
He was groggy as hell... but it was the grabbing, the
constant grabbing that saved him. Then he would move his
head over the ropes and other tactics such as these and the
referee didn't do anything about it. But I would really have
to say that he didn't fight... but he grabbed alot.
Dino Duva mentioned a few names of boxers on the list for
next year and one of them was Shannon Briggs. He fought this
past weekend here in Puerto Rico and demolished an up and
coming fighter (Luciano Zolyone) in 16 seconds. Will you be
looking for veteran fighters such as Briggs to get ahead in
the division?
I duck no boxer. If you get into the ring, there will be a
fight.
And of the champions: Rahman, Ruiz, Byrd or Brewster?
As I said before, I duck no one... not even them.
Well, as we used to say when we were kids in school, "Those
sound like fighting words to me!" Robert Hawkins (21-4, 7
KOs) is the first one on the "nightmarish" list of victims
for Peter, starting tomorrow. Let's see how many other
heavyweights will be having nightmares after Sam Peter's
performance tomorrow. Dread the thought that he will be
after one of them in 2006.
