Pulev retires Peter in 4.. Picks up WBA intercontinental title.


IBF #2 ranked heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev (24-1, 13 KOs) stopped former WBC heavyweight kingpin Samuel Peter (36-5, 29 KOs) on Saturday night at the Arena Armeec in Sofia, Bulgaria.  Peter at 271 pounds hadn't boxed at world level for nearly 5 years and struggled with the pace, Pulev allowed the heavy handed Nigerian to get his heavy shots out of his system before it became target practice with the jab..  Peter who soon became pedestrian began to bleed from the nose and breath hard from the second..  At the end of a torrid third Peter appeared to hold his right arm over the ropes in distress..  Samuel stood motionless in his corner at the beginning of round four, with no intention of continuing..  Pulev claimed the vacant WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title.
