    I know.

    I was so bored I was struggling to properly score, finding myself just staring at the TV rather than watching.

    I also told myself to get up and go workout instead but the fight was so boring I was just wanting to sit in my chair and not move.

    I don't think this fight was frustrating or mystefying at all. Chambers clearly won 98-92, and looked impressive with the jab.

    Yeah, especially on Chambers side.

    Peter was so ****ing tired his legs where wobbly just walking back to the corner. I understand wanting to be careful but damn, throw some more.

    Thing is though, it's not Fast Eddie's fight to KO a guy with a proven chin like Peter. Just keep jabbin' the mother****er. Fast Eddie fought exactly the right fight.

    No doubt, Chambers definitely won... and it's a very good win for his career. However he had a completely flat footed opponent, out of gas, standing in front of him with his guard down, and completely unable to avoid punches. It wasn't as if Peter is tricky as hell and was setting traps. He really had nothing for Chambers tonight. If Peter was in great shape, and was playing defense, setting traps for Chambers and looking to catch him with something nasty as Chambers overextended himself, that would be one thing. The point is that Eddie couldn't miss Sam's head or body, and completely outclassed him when he would open up. Sam was just sucking air, pushing arm punches, and eating shots all night long. Sam was also bringing the fight to Eddie, which makes it even easier for Chambers to light him up.

    I know, I'm not asking for much more, just a little more. He did what he had to do but he should have gotten a no brainer UD.

    To my eyes it WAS a no-brainer UD, 97-94 tops. Tops.

    That's the crux of this whole thing. Sam Peter obviously doesn't take himself seriously as a prizefighter. Eddie Chambers does. That's the main difference in this fight.
