over with the rolls we're all familiar with them want you obey my Commandments there's a big left hook by an idea of what make something this is a Moment of Truth throwing punches Vladimir trying to hold Peter trying to get him with one more big one it's stamina the opinions about the Klitschko brothers vary widely some people love them others not so much but there's no denying that they are among the best heavyweight boxers in history their legendary careers are filled with countless significant fights most of which resulted in triumphant victories however there are a few bouts involving Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko that are downright chilling today we're going to talk about one of those nail-biting Encounters in this episode we'll recount a fight where Klitschko had his fans on the edge of their seats truly fighting for Survival let's get ready to rumble the early 2000s were particularly tough for the younger Klitschko brother Wladimir despite his immense potential he faced numerous challenges on March 8th 2003 Wladimir suffered a shocking defeat to South African Boxer Corey Sanders losing his title in the process and H problem klore is having he's got his knees bent lower on his height more klitsch goes down on a huge inside and there's a cut over klitschko's left eye right on the eyebrow long time to go in the round Vladimir down a second time was able to do in this situation he was able to come back and knock Sanders out cannot see the left hand that Sanders is hitting him with and he's attacking to try to get out of instead of holding and this is not going to go well another knock down the this defeat led to widespread doubts about Vladimir's character and more importantly his ability to take a punch unfortunately his fight against American Boxer Layman Brewster only fueled these doubts Wladimir was expected to easily defeat Brewster and for the first four rounds it seemed like he would [Applause] but in the fifth round Vladimir's strength began to wne sensing this Brewster launched a vicious assault leading to another devastating loss for Wladimir [Applause] critics labeled Vladimir as weak and said he had a glass jaw almost over night he went from being one of the most promising heavyweights to an underdog that many rode off Wladimir himself described this difficult period I was devastated I was a champion and then suddenly I faced backto back defeats I was the loser of the Klitschko brothers it was a tough time but I never allowed myself to doubt I knew I could be better and wanted to prove it it was a gut feeling although I had nothing left no no promoter no TV channel willing to broadcast my fights not even my brother in boxing as Vitali decided to pause his career I was at rock bottom but these setbacks only made him stronger determined more than ever Wladimir began to regain his form after his loss to Brewster he secured two early finishes defeating devel Williamson and then Cuban fighter eliso Castillo Skeptics still doubted Vladimir's potential claiming that these opponents were not on his level and that he would falter against more serious competition at this point a new star was Rising on the heavyweight scene Samuel the Nigerian Nightmare Peter who was demolishing opponent's left and right by then Peter had 24 victories 21 of which were by knockout he was a formidable threat and the reigning WBO champion given Vladimir's recent wins he earned the status of mandatory Challenger making a showdown between the two inevitable even though Vladimir's team including his brother Vitali was deeply concerned about this matchup Wladimir insisted on fighting Peter to prove once and for all that he wasn't afraid of challenges and had the heart of a champion in the summer of 2005 the fight between these two Titans was officially announced despite being the Underdog Vladimir was unfazed by public opinion and firmly believed in his chances of Victory finally on the evening of September 24th 2005 at the Atlantic City arena in New Jersey the long awaited bout between Vladimir Klitschko and Samuel Peter took place s penis trator pops Anderson said he's going to go across the ring and hit Vladimir with there's a right hand by Klitschko first Big Shot out of the night is for Vladimir he has to down drop his hands to again klit dropped the right hand behind in the third round Wladimir

hard right hand by Klitschko pet seems equally dangerous what a swing the real drama unfolded in the fifth round with two and a half minutes left Peter managed to knock Wladimir down twice and there's a little swelling around the right eye of Sam Peter respect that Peter makes clear he's ready for an allout War now there were no punches that landed there but this is going to be called the second knockdown against Klitschko I don't know if that was just fatigue with a little push weakened legs he's looking at a 10 s round here so the boxing match is over is wide open go so obviously he's tired well he just missed going to sleep for the rest of the evening on that wild left Hook from Peter that came up just a little bit short Peter has made clco bring his body down so there's some of the heights now two knockdowns in the round although Wladimir got back on his feet critics rejoiced convinced that the end was near however during the break between rounds Vladimir's eyes showed a resolve not seen in his previous defeats it was clear to everyone that the night was far from over from rounds 5 to9 Klitschko regained control of the fight the Ukrainian Champion successfully landed his long and Powerful punches from both hands credit must go to Peter who endured these blows and occasionally countered the jab when he sticks it hard creates space it's right hand it's Corner he's just frustrated he just picks his left foot chares the back with the left two big right hands from Glitz go in the center of the Ring where that left jab will do that now Peter lands a jab flit go com now round hard right handing straight right hand again you see he stands right there Peters able absence of energy makes it very easy to score those rounds left hook by Klitschko little right by Peter but either big right hand by Vladimir Klitschko and he moves away don't follow a puncher around without th pun Peter walking in Cur now he can say I've had a [Applause] cure Peter looking for this is a Moment of Truth for Klitschko knock down of the fight for Peter only 7 seconds left in the 10th round the refere let go may not know that the referee but this was a different klitch go compared to a few years ago there was no surrender this time during the break Klitschko regrouped and dominated the subsequent Championship rounds he not only took control of the fight but also overwhelmed his opponent delivering a performance that was nothing short of spectacular who wants to be a heavyweight champion who has the guts who has the courage who has the self-possession to get through these last two rounds one hits on the while he's wrestling neither's been warned for either I don't know what's going to happen the judges and the judges moving back and forward and rocking like a fan stalking right hand lands for Vladimir you see Peter is accustom to hit Peter 10 seconds Peter's only got vlit the final bell rang and there was no doubt about klitschko's Victory however the outcome was more than just a win in this bout Klitschko proved something much more significant something that had long been mocked by critics his character and courage facing a dangerous opponent being knocked down multiple times s yet refusing to give up and securing a unanimous Victory showcased immense bravery that night Vladimir Klitschko demonstrated his Full Medal to the world [Applause] Vladimir fast forward 5 years and the paths of our two main protagonists crossed again in Germany since their first encounter Klitschko had evolved from a relatively young fighter into an Undisputed Champion across three versions this was a different Klitschko stronger more powerful a knockout machine this time Samuel Peter had no chance the fight only confirmed this fact with Klitschko finishing Peter off in the 10th round so painful corner I think he's he's done with here Sam earlier there stop the fight without friends as I mentioned earlier opinions on the Klitschko brothers may vary but looking at the current state of the heavyweight Division and the rapid turnover of Champions one must acknowledge the ukrainians remarkable achievement of holding on to their titles for nearly a decade this is truly unique and deserves your attention give a like to the Klitschko brothers
