It's no longer news that Nigeria’s World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, Samuel Peter, will enter the ring tonight to defend his belt against his Ukrainian challenger, Vitali Klitschko. But the news is that during their post match conference in Germany, Klitschiko spoke to the press in german, Peter was then expected to speak in English the guy refused and addressed the crowd in IBIBIO can you beat that? This to me is the height of confidence, go Peter go Peter Nigeria is behind |

If it is true it shows he is a damn illiterate. Is Ibibio the official language of Nigeria. Why not translate samul and peters to ibibio too. |

nyabinghi:WELL , THE GUY HAS A RIGHT TO USE ANY LANGUAGE HE WANTS TO USE AS LONG AS IT FITS INTO HIS GAMRE PLAN, BIG UP TO GREAT SAMUEL PTERS, I LOVE HIM!! |

nyabinghi: I want to believe that you are joking than take you serious; now let's look at the senario, there was a post match conference where the boxers were expected to address the press. Klitschiko came up instead of speaking in English he switched to german knowing well that Samuel does not understand and there was no interpreter, Peter came up they thought he will speak in English he refused and spoke to them in Ibibio. Don't forget it is all about intimidation. On literate level don't be too sure, as you might not be more literate than Sam. |

Peter, 28, was apparently angry that the conference was conducted mostly in German and responded by answering the few English questions posed to him in Nigerian. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/10102008/3/champion-boxer-klitschko-ready-roll-years.html |

Truequest:[size=13pt]I like the novelty and crystal freshness of your ideas: very self-evidently creative.[/size] |

Truequest: well, he's got a point there, but if the conference was being held in Germany, then they'D speak German. It does seem as bit rude of them not to make allowance for the fact that he doesnt speak it. He probably just didnt want to feel intimidated. Germans are very dogmatic about their language anyway. Klitshko should go and sit his behind down. |

nyabinghi:Is Ibibio the official language of Nigeria. Why not translate samul and peters to ibibio too. Don't be daft dude,how can you just reach such uninformed conclusions?check it,for instance does it make sense for me to conclude that since your username here sound very country-like that you're a bush man? Like Truequest noted,it's all about intimidation,let me make some things clear here,the belt that will be up for grabs in a few minutes time is held by Peter and as the defending champion,he was supposed to be considered in choosing the fight venue(and I'm sure he'd have chosen the USA,Nigeria but not Ukrain or Germany),but for some strange reason,Klitchco was considered.In case you didn't know,the 02 arena is like home to Klitchcko,he's fought about 26 of his last 32 fights in Germany and speaks perfect German.So he was merely trying to psychologically upset Peter before the fight,good enough Peter wised up to the antics and responded appropriately;in IBIBIO Finally I suspect the scales are already tilted against Peter,he shouldn't count on winning by points,else he'll be done in,rather he should take his chances and finish off the fight with a T.K.O I no trust those oyinbos this time around[/b] |

Thats the way to go he made a very smart and witty move he has the right to speak in any language he deems fit.I just hope he wins today |

Samuel Peters just got his ass kicked by Klitschko!! and started bleeding as early as the third round  dude didn't even last till the finish.How disappointing  |

A-40: I always knew this guy is somehow! see how big he is he cant even control his punches What a big disgrace Even bash ali would have given Klitschko A run for his Money!  Sorrry Peter. . . . . .The best man won!  |

We wouldn't even have the excuse to cry foul-play because Monsieur Peters was beaten to a pulp @darefestus I was iffy about him after seeing his fight with McCline where he was knocked down three times he was lucky to get that fight but this time he faced a stronger opponent who didn't give him time to recover.I mean look at Klitschko's face he still had powder on it and was still looking very fresh |

they must have stymied him with that German language fiasco before the match. Very demoralizing, if you ask me. I wouldnt be surprised if they gave him some evil grins and looks in addition to the language thing. anyway, he'll have better luck next time, I hope. |

@all win or lose SAM is a great guy and NIGERIAN /AFRICAN HERO, before him how many Nigerians has gone this far in boxing? the fact that he lost today does not take his achievement from him, SAMUEL PETERS FOR LIFE!! |
| Re: Samuel Peter Stun World Press; Addressed Them In Ibibio by A40(m): 8:59am On Oct 12, 2008 |
Didn't he train for the fight or was he simply floored by a superior opponent because Vitali is stronger than Vladimir |
| Re: Samuel Peter Stun World Press; Addressed Them In Ibibio by martho(m): 11:02am On Oct 12, 2008 |
klit, is a dangerous fighter,he knows what to do when the going get tough,samuel felt it from the first round and he was impressed with him,he loss a bit of confidence.samuel must step up with his skills and technik.though he is strong but klit, is more technical and intelligent. |
| Re: Samuel Peter Stun World Press; Addressed Them In Ibibio by tpia: 9:26pm On Oct 12, 2008 |
bawomolo: ouch!!!! TKO. that must have hurt. |

sege jaguar, o jibijibi this guy who has face covered in grimy gloves isnt nigerian samuel peters,looks like someone from niger republic, a national merit award winner humilated in this manner, we should have supported bash ali, did i hear anyone say REMATCH, even rocky balboa wouldn't be so optimistic.maybe peters ought to know don king is bad business.he's hexed. i hear he wants a lenox lewis , klitschko rematch, i say bash ali is still the greatest, http://connectafrica. |
