	~~<big>'''Wladimir Klitschko keeps belts with~~ KO~~'''</big>~~		===Klitsch-KO For Samuel Peter===

	~~FRANKFURT, Germany -- Wladimir Klitschko kept this one from going to the scorecards.~~

	Five years ~~after he~~ was knocked down three times in a ~~tough victory over Samuel Peter, the IBF~~ and ~~WBO champion battered and bloodied the Nigerian challenger before finally stopping him with 1:22 left in the 10th round of another dominating performance~~.		Five years ago, Nigerian boxer Samuel Peter faced Wladimir Klitschko. The Ukrainian was knocked down three times – and still won. In front of around 40,000 spectators on Saturday evening, Peter attempted a rematch – and failed decisively.

	Klitschko ~~(55-3, 49 KOs) unleashed a flurry of blows to send~~ Peter to the ~~canvas, an uppercut~~ and ~~left hook doing~~ the ~~final bit of damage~~. ~~Referee Robert Byrd began counting but then waved~~ his ~~hands to call~~ the ~~fight over~~.		When the old/new boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko had beaten his opponent Samuel Peter so badly he had to be hospitalized, he raised his powerful right hand in the air and enjoyed a hug from his brother Vitali right there in the ring. "I have impressively shown that I am the best. I never doubted my skill and my strength. Now it's time to celebrate," said the 34-year-old Ukrainian after his knockout victory in the 10th round in front of 43,000 spectators at Frankfurt's football stadium.

	~~"He took~~ a ~~lot of punishment and fought until~~ the ~~end~~,~~" Klitschko said. "But from round~~ two, ~~it was clear that~~ his ~~game plan wasn~~'t ~~working~~."		Klitschko kept a cool head in the ring, but after the two-meter-tall giant successfully defended his IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles, Dr. Steelhammer made no secret of his emotions. "I hadn't forgotten the fight against Peter five years ago, when I won but was knocked down three times. They called me a dead man walking, but I kept going and made my way," said the Hamburg resident.

	~~Peter (34~~-~~4) at least showed up to fight~~, ~~which is more than can be said for most opponents who stand across from Klitschko these days~~. ~~And it~~'~~s more than can be said for mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin, who backed~~ out of the fight ~~after it~~ had been ~~agreed upon~~.		Late into the night, Klitschko sent a message to his arch-rival David Haye: "If I ever get my hands on him, I'll enjoy it. I'll take my time and only knock him out in the twelfth round." Haye had insulted the Klitschkos the previous year by wearing a T-shirt with a picture of the beheaded brothers. The planned fight between Klitschko and Haye had been called off.

	Klitschko ~~has won~~ his ~~last 13 fights~~, ~~only twice going~~ the ~~distance and both times winning by a landslide on~~ the ~~scorecards. He~~'s ~~stamped himself as perhaps the most dominant heavyweight~~ of his ~~generation -- with the exception of perhaps his brother Vitali~~, the ~~WBC champion who will be in the ring next month against Shannon Briggs~~.		Klitschko needed two fewer rounds against Peter, with his girlfriend Hayden Panettiere watching. After 1 minute and 22 seconds of the tenth round, the Nigerian was knocked out for the first time in his career following one of Klitschko's many flurries of punches. While Klitschko only suffered a few scratches on his back, Peter was taken to the hospital for medical examination with a swollen right eye and a headache.

	~~The problem is~~ the ~~two Klitschko brothers will~~ almost ~~certainly never~~ fight, ~~depriving the sport of a matchup between the two best heavyweights -- long boxing's biggest glamour division~~.		Klitschko's trainer, Emmanuel Steward, drew comparisons to Muhammad Ali, who had defeated Karl Mildenberger at the same venue almost exactly 44 years earlier. "Wladimir boxed like Ali in his third fight against Frazer. He systematically broke Samuel Peter," said Steward.

	~~Peter stood at least a puncher's chance against the younger~~ Klitschko, ~~especially after~~ his ~~performance five years ago~~. He ~~hoped to get close and try to hurt Klitschko from inside~~, ~~but the champion weathered the early attempts and the challenger tired~~ in ~~the later rounds~~.		For Klitschko, it was his 18th world championship fight and 55th victory with three losses. He won 49 of his fights by knockout. The fight in Frankfurt was special for him for another reason as well. "My nephew was ringside for the first time. At ten years old, he already takes everything in. That wasn't an easy situation for me. I felt a special kind of pressure because of it," Klitschko explained.

	Peter came out aggressively and connected with a left hook to Klitschko's head before the champion replied with a good right late in the opening round. Klitschko caught Peter with right-left combinations several times in the second and the "Nigerian Nightmare" had no ~~response except~~ for ~~some wild roundhouse attempts.~~		The fact that he needed two rounds longer for his victory than his brother Vitali did for his triumph over Peter two years ago was no problem for him: "It was a tactic to first wear him down mentally with my blows and then knock him down."

	~~Both fighters spent much of the third and fourth holding each other, and Klitschko managed~~ to ~~keep away with from the surging Peter in the fifth, hitting the Nigerian~~ with ~~several jabs that seemed to worsen the swelling under Peter's eye.~~

	~~A big uppercut from Klitschko late in the sixth appeared to shake Peter, but the bell came to his rescue. Klitschko began hitting Peter almost at will in the seventh~~ and ~~again in the eighth, landing combinations to the Nigerian's head~~.

	The shorter Peter tried to come inside but ended up mostly clinging onto Klitschko as both fighters pushed each other around the ring in the ninth. [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5560784]

			Klitschko is now looking forward to his brother's fight against American Shannon Briggs on October 16. He plans to step into the ring himself again on November 4 or 11 this year. "I don't want to take too long a break," Klitschko said. However, finding an opponent won't be easy. One thing is certain: Klitschko will not box against Russian Alexander Povetkin, who was originally scheduled to fight in Frankfurt.[https://www.stern.de/sport/knockout-in-runde-zehn-klitsch-k-o--fuer-samuel-peter-3887854.html]
