    I think Chambers beats him this time, he let the last fight get away because he wasn't busy enough and didn't want to win for whatever reason. I saw some improvement against Peter and a commitment to winning as well. Chambers showed more foot movement and had a higher punch-output compared to his previous fights, although needs to be more busier. The thing that impressed me the most was his comments after he beat Peter. Chambers said "that he could of done more, he could of let his hands go more, and excite the crowd." I think you will see a major improvement from Chambers, I expect him to be slimmer and have a higher punch-output in his next fight (whoever that may be).

    If Povetkin isn't ready for Wlad, he could always ask Chambers for a deserving rematch.

    I didn't see that commitment. I saw a guy who was clearly better than the other guy and could've done a lot more but didn't.

    And yeah, i heard him say, "I could've and should've done more" after the fight. He saids that all the time.

    Povetkin simply outworks Chambers AGAIN. And Chambers gives another excuse after the fight.

    i think chambers beats him this time too. if he hadnt taken his foot off of the gas in their first fight than he wouldvehad a running away victory and the man seems to have a great chin too. i like fast eddie even though he doesnt give you the knockout but the man has some good god given boxing skills.

    I don't see that happening. If Chambers beat Povetkin the first 4 rounds convincingly, he could of done that for 12 rounds. It's just a commitment to winning and if they fought again I see Chambers really messing up Povetkin, he messed up his eye pretty bad in the first fight and Chambers had a low punch-output.

    And it's one thing to criticize yourself after losing, but after winning, now that's something. I heard his comments after the fight that he tends to think a lot, I don't really know about that.

    People overlook the bodywork that Povetkin did, there is a reason why Eddie took his foot of the gass.

    Povetkin isn't a big puncher and he rarley landed any clean shots against Chambers, it was more about Chambers not firing back. I just think he didn't properly train for that fight because he didn't care, and fatigued in the later rounds because of that.

    Chambers has workrate issues. I don't think he can just turn it on and off like a swtich. I agree with you guys in that Chambers has the talent to beat Povetkin IF he let his hands go more. But that's a huge IF and i don't see that happening.

    His punch-output did improve against Peter, he was throwing a consistent rate of 35-48 punches a round, which isn't a lot, but an improvement.

    Against Povetkin, Chambers was throwing a consistent rate of 9-25 punches a round. In one round (it was round 9) Chambers threw a total of 9 punches.

    Povetkin is not a small puncher either. He paces himself, throwing a lot of good though not overwheliming punches.

    He landed lots of good body shots, which take the wind out of a man's sails.

    Povetkin did not connect much to the head but he did land quite a bit to the body, which makes perfect sense to the decreasing of activity as the fight went along for Chambers.

    Povetkin might not be a huge puncher but he did stop sturdy people on accumulation, i say he hits hard enough.

    I'm not saying Chambers can not beat him but to say he could just flip a switch and increase his activity and completely dismissing the work Povetkin put in is not fair either.

    Honestly, I can say that don't want to see a rematch -- these guys are simply not exciting at HW. However, in the event of a fight, I see it going to the cards.... Winner, by Split Decision, Povetkin. I think Povetkin will beat a tubby Chambers most of the time. Frankly, both of these guys need to go to the CW division -- force them to get into shape. I think Arreola has a decent shot of knocking down either one. (and I'm not much of an Arreola fan).

    Any "mystique" or "aura" Povetkin had was destroyed during his fight with Chambers. I perceive either one fighting against any Klitschko as a total waste of time.

    Why should he rematch Chambers? Povetkin had a tougher time with his last opponent Estrada than with Chambers.

    chambers has neither a fanbase willing to pay to watch him , or a big tv following that will get american tv execs behind him.

    IMO he is the best american heavy and has been for a while, but he cant draw **** on his own , and has no real financial clout behind him to demand that any name fighter get in the ring with him , unless he is there mandatory.

    being a good fighter /but in the who needs him club , always means you are avoided .

    since povetkin already beat him and has not had a title fight himself , not sure why he would feel the need to go that route again, as he has financial backing and a crowd base.

    Chambers is never busy and Povetkin is always busy.

    Also, Chambers appeared to be in better shape for Povetkin than Peter and still could not beat him.

    I like Eddie more than those Russians but I am calling it how I see it.
