    Tua is retired for good, but Jennings-Barrett might be decent-ish.

    good fight. NBC is great. no way should Jennings take a major step up in class and fight the winner of chambers vs adamek . i think adamek is going to win that also. but jennings should be looking at a fight with some one like travis walker or jason estrada.

  9. Then dont watch bro. It makes no sense for those 2 guys to starve themselves and go down to CW. Adamek was already CW champ. Pro athletes want challenges. Chambers is 6'1 and 215 pounds. He lasted almost the distance with Klitschko and dropped the huge top 10 contender Alexander Dimitrenko.
    Adamek looked in awesome shape at 222 and stands about 6'2. Adamek beat top 10 contender Arreola. He lasted 10 rounds with huge Vitali. He beat the 6'7 Grant! Adamek and Chambers are legit heavyweight fighters. Give them some credit. You dont have to be 6'3 and 250 LBS to be a heavyweight. It's about skill more than size. Even David Haye was only about 6'2 and 220 lbs.

    Adamek is 35 already. In December he will be 36. He said in interview that he wants one more title shot and after that he will retire no matter what score will be.

    I think his A plan is to go on top of WBC ranking and fight for vacant after Vitali retires.
    B plan is Wladimir.

    I am a Chambers fan, I was just disappointed when he lost to Wladimir. A lot of boxing fans thinks he needs to move down, and I bought into that. But he is a legit heavyweight contender. I think there is still time him for to redeem himself. Maybe get a rematch with Povetkin, and then fight Wladimir again. But first things first, he needs to beat Adamek.

    Because there was no good money for him. I agree at HW he is not the same exciting fighter we have seen in LHW and CW, but if there was no money even for his rematch with Cunningham (close to FOTY award) I can't blame him either.

    If not the inactivity, I would favour Chambers in this one... I will wait for the weigh-in to see if Adamek fights "Fast" or just "Fat" Eddie.

    Eddie will get (or deserve) a decision if he comes in semi-fit (he'll always look fat) and doesn't mysteriously shut down like he did against Poseuretkin.
