It’s not news anymore that Nigeria’s Heavyweight Pugilist Samuel “The Nigeria Nightmare” Peter(39:34-5,27KO’s) lost appallingly to up and coming heavyweight prospect Robert Helenius(15:15-0,10KO’s) The question evident in the mind of most Nigerians is why is the Akwa Ibom born pugilist still “wasting his time”? The few people I had opportunity of speaking with, suggested that the Nigerian Nightmare should quit the stage now.
I have a different view from the point where I stand. Samuel Peter should not think of quitting at this point in time, this may sound idealistic but you would agree with me that the most disappointing result he has mass so far, include his loss to “fast” Eddie Chambers and now Robert Helenius. Outside this two, he remains the only boxer in recent times that has agreed and eventually fought the Klitschko brothers and genuinely the second fight with Wlad should not have taken place if those advising him had done their job well. The truth must be told, Samuel Peter is a courageous fighter who does not dodge schedules whether against an up and coming or veterans. Let me, site some example, Alexander Povetkin has been number one contender for “ages” now and has systematically avoided the klitschko brothers, Wladmir to be precise. David ‘The Haye Maker” has talked much about his fighting the klitschko’s but has been postponed on many occasions and even now, we wait to see if the July date will be kept. Highly rated boxer like Chris Arriola, Kevin Johnson Odlanier Solís have all lost to the best in the game.
I strongly think that Samuel Peter has nothing to be ashamed of, he has given his best to every bout he has engaged in and we should never forget how he valiantly over came Jameel “Big Time” McCline. Thereby enlisting him as one of the fewest boxers in history that overcame a knock down.
To this end I strongly think that what the Nigerian Nightmare should is take his time,get into shape before accepting any match. He should get plenty tune up fights and don’t be in a haste to get a title shot. Once he shows up on the radar he will get suitable opponents. I must also commend this great and courageous boxer, for each time he steps out to do battle Nigeria is on the scene and the dead and almost forgotten game of boxing is once again remembered her at home. Thank you Big Sam.
