Losing to Povetkin doesn't mean he hasn't proven himself. He has beat solid heavies too in Peter and Dimitrenko, which is better than Arreola has done. Is he one of the elite, maybe not, and will he beat Wlad, probably not, but he is a proven top ten heavy.
I think Chambers looks the best and least fat he's ever looked. Good for him. But the size difference is amazing. Wlad is more ripped than usual, and I expect Chambers to run like a deer. He has no power, but he is fast as hell. But that speed won't do him much good if he's not in range to land, and I don't see him being very willing to get in range.
Whatever.. He looks like he's freaking out inside while trying not to:scaredas: if not that much - he looks not confident.

It seems like that to me. I hope I'm wrong though as I'm rooting for him. Get Rakim, let him take a look.
Damn, I have a bad feeling about this fight. I hope Eddie doesnt go into survival mode as soon as he gets into the ring. i would love if he could pressure Wlad.
Chambers in that shape, or the Dimitrenko one, would have owned Povetkin. He basically owned him for 5 rounds before he gassed too much to do anything offensively, and in that 5 rounds he already was in energy saving mode, not punching much.
No one knows what Chambers is thinking from looking at a weigh-in. But during the pre-fight Chambers knows exactly what he's getting into, and he's no coward. I mean he has sparred with Klitschko before. I'm still predicting Chambers wins by UD.
