Im not sure where Peiter is training, i did hear he is going be a Full time fighter this year. He has sponsers who are giving him the opportunity to train fulltime without having to work.

Peiter would beat Cameron in my opinion, His chin and power at Cruiser would be to much for Shane.

Apparently McCracken has weight problem atm, hence the reason he stood aside & allowed Ammann/Niemann to go ahead for vacant OZ cruiser title. Winner will need to defend against him.

He was an impressive kickboxer at heavyweight.

Nah more a case of his trainer going overseas when the fight is scheduled.

That's not what ANBF was told. If true it might cause 90-day clause to be removed from contract.

Sammy Davidson a Perth business man is his sponsor (and his mate) they have been training at the "Davidson Gym Perth" for over a year now - the gym was just a private set up at Sammy place to keep the old bastard fit - it was in the big shed on his property -- Its a full on gym now .

He has provided Pete the exclusive use of his Gym - Sammys family gym (not open to the public)is on his Perth property and was fitted with personal use equipment only but its fully decked out now. Its hot in summer and freezing in winter - just how it should be - a take no prisoners gym.

Its all up to Pete now - move forward - train hard - be fit to fight at short notice and do some honest work getting up the rankings . I only hope he can get fights - and now that he is no longer burdened with having a full time job he can train so much better.

He wants old fashioned respect from the fight game so he setting out to earn it.

should be a great year for Cronj'e

at least if he can't get the best quality of opponents for a while he can fight some lesser guys every month to stay busy.

plenty of fighters out there would NOT like to face him. so may be hard to get good opponents.

It's kind of a shame that when a bloke like pieter who has talent focuses on training for his ambition, other folks shy away for fear of getting a whoopin',With the real casualty being a great contest and the sport of boxing. For a good record you have to beat good fighters, not be 10-0 against chumps. hopefully he won't find it too hard to get a good contest.

We can only hope and try for that!its up to the contenders in that position to change it. Not to get off the subject, but that's why my opinion of Danny Green improved heaps after fighting Wlodarczyk, and Wlodarczyk for accepting.

If his record's anything to go by he'll get beat by the first decent opponent he fights. (probably stopped.)

He should get a couple of decent cruiserweight fights here.Mccracken would fight him as cronje pulled out of the last fight and i think pitt would defiantly fight him

You are 100% correct Paddy, Peiter will fight anyone in Australia at cruiserweight. its up to the other guys to accept the challenge.
There are some good fighters at cruiser, I would love to see Cronje vs Pitt

I will see you at the next show mate :TU:

Easy to put on weight, when one lets his hair down....so to speak.
