GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Returning to the ring for the first time in almost four years, Vitali Klitschko beat Samuel Peter today to become the WBC heavyweight champion.
Peter didn't answer the bell for the ninth round after Klitschko battered him in the eighth. Klitschko absolutely dominated the fight; two of the three judges said Klitschko had won all eight rounds and the other judge gave Klitschko seven of eight.
Klitschko's win makes it clear that there are two heavyweights who stand over all the others: Vitali and his younger brother, Wladimir Klitschko, who holds the IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight belts. The Klitschko brothers have promised their mother they will not fight each other, meaning we will not have a heavyweight title unification fight any time soon.
The Associated Press reports that Vitali Klitschko said this afterward:
"If Samuel Peter didn't stop the fight, I have the feeling in the next two rounds, I would have knocked him out, He got more and more punches, and his chin (was) not so strong as the first rounds. ...Promoter Don King said after the fight that Klitschko could fight Lennox Lewis next.
"I knew if I lost the fight I wouldn't get a second chance. It was a one-way ticket, and I used my chance."
