I spar smaller guy everyday & be just as fast so that not a problem for me.. I sparred 168 top contender Edwin Rodriguez in my last camp... But for whoever think Lebedev will KO me... a Reminder he couldnt even KO a out of prime James Toney

Not being able to stop Toney isn't a convincing argument against The Swan's power. Toney has one of the P4P best chin's in the last 30 years, what other former MW's proved their chin at HW in the last couple decades? I suppose G.Jones counts going from JMW-CW.

It's quite a big step up in class for Lebedev...can see Eddie taking a decision, I don't think Denis will be able to get to him like he did to faded versions of Roy and Toney and he'll probably just get out-boxed. Would be cool if Eddie stops him, though. Team Chambers

Lebedev looks slow & crude but I would say he is unbeaten. If he can catch Chambers he will hurt him.
For me the Jury is out on Chambers, he struggled at the top level in the HW divison but his performance against Adamek suggests that size may have been his problem. It is make or break for Chambers. |

It's a very good fight, a good way to start the year for the cruisers.
I think Chambers has more ways to win than Lebedev, plus he will in with guys who are roughly his size as opposed to outweighing him by 20/30 lbs. Smart money should go on Chambers, to be honest I'm a Lebedev fan but just hope it's a good fight..... Which I think it will be. Chambers UD. |

I personally thought Huck just edged lebedev. Also thought he drew with arslan.
Great fight this. The top of the division is very close you have Hernandez, Huck, lebedev and wlod. All of whom I'd expect to lose to chambers. I pick fast Eddie on points. |

If Eddie is able to let his hands go the way he's capable of I think Lebedev suits him perfectly and he'll be a world champion, like I always thought he could be. I can't write Leb completely off though, as I know he's got the power to turn the lights out on anyone his size.
