Nigerian
puncher Samuel Peter 30-1 (23) delivered a TKO
at the weekend against Kazakhstan's WBC Champion
Oleg Maskaev 34-6 (26) in the sixth round.
Peter delivered a series of power punches in the
sixth round, which forced the referee to stop the
fight at 2:56 into the Round 6. Oleg Maskaev didnt
protest the stoppage and Sam Peter celebrated his
victory over the WBC Champ. The fight was tilting
towards Peter from the very beginning, the Nigeria
native winning the first and second rounds without
any problems. In the third and fourth Maskaev
rallied and managed to land a reputable series of
punches, but in the fifth Peter was back in the game
stinging his opponent with right hand bombs. Oleg Maskaev held out until
the sixth round , when a barrage of combination
shots, followed by a series of power punches gave
Sam Peter the WBC title. A rematch with IBF and WBO
king Wladimir Klitschko has been rumoured, but the
Nigerian may have to meet returning brother Vitali
Klitschko in a WBC mandatory beforehand.
