    Chambers wins every round before stopping him.

    Damn I'd like to see Eddie pickup a belt.

    Beats me.:conf :lol: But check my Martin thread, he showed up on the first page bashing him. Maybe they have some kind of personal beef.

    Good fight between 2 C+/B- fighters, true pickem fight where loser should be mandated to retire

    I'd agree with chambers winning every round till he gets hurt then stopped in the 9th 10th round.
    Chambers doesn't have the conditioning nor the chin to beat chris, can't make it 10 either

    I don't know, I think you are thnking of Arreola five years ago. Last time out he was dropped by that pot head kid Travis Kaufman.

    He mentioned he'd like to fight the winner of him and Glazkov in this interview from the other day. He also questioned what Szpilka had done to warrant a title shot as well. That said, Martin did even less than Wilder did to earn his. #ThankYouMrHaymon :lol:

    :?


    • Chambers has been a pro 3 years longer than Arreola.
    • Chambers has fought tougher opposition throughout his career (Arreola fought - and lost to - Vitali Klitschko and Tomasz Adamek. Big whoop. Chambers fought Wladimir Klitschko, the more dominant brother during the co-reign, plus Adamek, Povetkin, Peter, Brock...) and performed better against said opposition (shut out and stopped late by Wlad, sure, but Arreola himself was shut out and stopped late by Vitali - and Chambers did far better versus Adamek, with many thinking he was robbed, while Arreola got pretty clearly beaten up by Goral despite ironically getting the better-looking result on paper with a MD instead of a UD)
    • Chambers dropped to CW and then returned to heavy. Arreola dropped to a svelte 239 before he ballooned up again. :patsch If either will have suffered the ill effects of ups and downs in weight, it would be Chambers.


    So to you I say: Arreola waited long enough to fight a faded Chambers. fuk this guy.. No credit from me here :bart

    Should be an easy, easy win for Chambers.

    As it would've been any time since they both hit the scene.

    Sounds like more of a slow annoying nightmare to watch fight. Chambers and Arreola have both deteriorated a lot

    That's what makes it good.

    Chambers is MUCH slower of hand & foot than in his prime. There's virtually no footage of his return campaign at heavyweight after Mchunu schooled him (Eddie has fought six times since and you can only find video online for his initial comeback bout against Tomas Mrazek) - which to me suggests that he is looking at least as sluggish as he did versus Mrazek, if not worse...else why should Team Fury squash any uploads of the five bouts since? Only plausible explanation IMO...

    Still, he possesses enough skill and some of his vaunted erstwhile hand speed to easily outbox Arreola. Chambers at this point is kind of like a heavyweight Broner - except less mobile and more inclined to sit in the pocket, slipping a bunch of shots with upper body movement and clowning but then getting tagged with dumb shots (as happened frequently with Mrazek) and relying on his solid chin and quick handed counters to both survive & thrive against limited, flatfooted competition - in whose company Arreola, while a higher class of brawler than a Mrazek (or Matovu, or Baker or Nascimento, or Darch or Galen Brown) would still belong. :deal

    Well then some top-10 heavy is getting a little more padding in their record. Can't see Molina beating anyone ranked that high.

    Molina vs. Kauffman would be fun, and competitive.
