Chambers Will Rule The CW Division

someone posted 2 videos of the guy before the chambers fights but i think thats all their was of him i couldnt find any more but tbh i never really checked round very hard...

his work rate needs to improve if he is to continue at cw.the punch output is much more than at hw...

even when burning fat you will always lose some muscle mass how much is really depending on diet and how hard training is ect but you will always lose some thats why you start getting more (niggly) injuries when your body starts breaking down..id put my house on that was the main reason arreollas weight loss stopped when he was doing so well at one stage..(p.e.ds can also stop muscle loss when losing weight but i doubt chambers would cheat he seems such a nice guy)...

yeah i agree over the next 12 months will tell a tale his next opponent will be very very important he cant be seen to be taking to much of a step back....

 

If Chambers struggled against a 14 fight novice,he doesn't have a hope in hell against the top boys.Huck would flatten him imo.

 

Huck is to Chambers as a gun is to a balloon.

Huck would pummel the "Fast" Eddie we saw on Saturday night. Chambers would be hopeless; a sitting duck timorously awaiting the final bell. Huck late stoppage or wide UD.

 

it doesn't really work like that though. Chambers knew nothing about him. the same can't be said for Huck because his fights are out there to see, so Chambers would be able to come up with the right tactics.

i'm not saying he'd win, just that he'd be better prepared for Huck.

if Chambers could claim centre ring and not follow Huck on the back foot like he likes to do sometimes, he could use his speed and reflexes and try to bring Huck onto him. but he'd have to be smart. Huck would counter Chambers pretty easily if he was to walk him down based on what we saw at the weekend.

i'd favour Huck by decision, but i don't think it would be as easy as people would think after his last fight. Chambers would definitely come better prepared.

 

@ "Captain Hindsight".

 

Chambers went down hill by going down to cruiserweight. He needs to go back up to heavyweight. The same thing happened to Chris Byrd when he went down in weight............................

 

Haven't seen much of Mchunu , and I was hammered , but Chambers looked off , slow , and lacking almost a strategy to get back into the game. He got out boxed, and there was nothing he can do. Not sure if Mchunu made him seem slow and off, or if he was.

Either way quite an upset. I didn't expect that. Chambers seemed a little off to me personally. Kind of almost reminded me of Byrd when he went down in weight.. (just like farmboxer said above me, didn't see it).

 

False. There's no reason you can't burn fat while at the same time put on muscle.

 

Chris Byrd is a good comparison, but not because of weight issues. The worst style matchup for a pure counterpuncher is another counterpuncher. Especially when you're the favorite and feel forced to make the fight. Chambers is a pure counterpuncher who ran into a stylistic nightmare on Saturday.

He would do much better against more aggressive fighters in the CW division, particularly sloppy swarmers like Huck or Arslan or even stronger puncher types like Wlodarczyk or Lebedev because they are more stationary and would bring the fight to Chambers, allowing him to utilize his range of skills.

If you want to further the Byrd analogy, see his fight with DaVryll Williamson, it was dreadful because Williamson sat back and made Byrd try to come forward, something he was not wont to do. Byrd and Chambers are at their best when you throw and they can parry and counter with sharp, short combos. Chambers simply fought the worst possible fighter he could fight considering his style.

 

You weren't hammered - Chambers really was that slow (in comparison with Thabiso) and had no timing or resourcefulness....really made to look clueless. Mchunu fought perfectly.

As for the Byrd comparisons - I think people are forgetting just how bad he looked against Shaun George. Really, really, really, really, really bad. A lot worse than Chambers against Mchunu. Of course, he skipped cruiser altogether for a sum loss of seven times more weight than Chambers dropped...so it's to be expected. :!: Still, the Chambers who lost to Mchunu was still a lot more serviceable than Byrd who lost to George.

Mchunu would slaughter George. :deal

 

Chambers looked terrible.

 

Yes, not even 70% of his Adamek performance (despite having the use of an entire additional limb)

...let's not be too reticent to give Mchunu credit, however. Even if Chambers was on point like usual in terms of his own sharpness I suspect he might've lost that one simply due to overlooking the "midget" and not being ready for his style.

Hell, it could even be that Mchunu is just poison for him and beats him 10 times out of 10 no matter how physically and mentally prepared Eddie is.

 

I always thought he was one of those guys if he hit his optimum weight he would dominate, but it seems he's a man stuck between two worlds or two weights for that matter. He looked lumbering and slow at CW yet he's such a small Heavyweight. Not taking out Mchunu's performance it was great I was just expecting a lot more from Chambers by the looks of it.

 

He could rule the HW division if super heavies didn't exist (or had their own division, as they do in amateurs) :yep

 

True. The thing is that if he wants to be a champion one day he should learn how to fight different styles. Look at Adamek. He is counterpuncher himself. He took a fight with Chambers and Cunningham, who run and made him look bad. Adamek struggled, looked terrible, but managed to pull it off. Chambers has only one gear. If something goes wrong he cannot change anything. He is a terrible agressor, he has zero offensive skills, throws zero combinations, lacks balls. He can't rule in the ring. He likes to run and potshot his way to victory, but come on, CW division send him a reality check. He trains for about one year for real, so what, he thought he's gonna win with guys who worked their asses off their entire career? No fatty. You should just retire.
