Odds are -120 that Chambers will go 10 rounds. What do you think? Seems there could be a lot of pressure on Wlad to get the ko.
if the ko happens it will be late in a fight when Eddie starts to get lazy. that would be a perfect timing for wlad to step up with pressure. i hope eddie will go the distance, but it is klitschko he's facing. it doesnt matter that wlad throws 5 right hands in a whole fight, if that one right lands perfectly it's good night Philly. eddie is used to going the distance in his fights. but when he knows he's behind, just like most fighters he loses hope. when a fighter loses hope it is the easiest time to get him out of there. tony thompson was never ko'd before he faced wlad.
Chambers goal may be to go the distance and pot shot all night. He must be intimidated. I wonder if he even thinks he can hurt Wlad. I can see him running. I think Wlads camp wants a tremendous KO in the worst way. It will certainly help the #'s for the Haye fight. Follow the money.
well i think wlad knows that he would be able to take eddie's shots so he'll be ready to take chances in a fight, more so than usual. the strength advantage is obvious, i see wlad being very physical with eddie and imposing his size. the only thing that prevents me from thinking this is going to be a complete blow out is the dimitrenko fight. eddie was able to handle the size, but then again, klitschko is levels above, and physically even more intimidating than dimitrenko eventhough their stats are virtually the same.
I don't think Wlad will only go for the KO only if the opportunity presents itself, or other such cliche things you hear so many trainers and fighters say. I think Wlad will seek out the knockout, as did with Byrd in the second fight. Chambers has very Byrd like attributes, and Wlad will get on him after a couple of getting to know you rounds ........then WHOOM! I am fairly certain Chambers will fall I F he don't merely run the whole fight, which I suspect he will. Wlad is similar to Dimitrenko in height, only. He's ten times the jabber, has ten times the strength, ten times the skill, and fifteen times the right hand knockout power.
well if you watch the byrd rematch you will see that wlad was carefull in the early going and went for the ko mid rounds after unleashing that nasty combination that had byrd reeling oozy. wlad knows that eddie is slick with good boxing ability he wont come out gunning, trust me. call me crazy but in terms of speed i think that dimitrenko has a faster jab than wlad. it may not be as stiff or consistent but it certainly looks faster, delivery wise. we shall see come fight time.
my prediction is another boring jab-fest from Wlad making us suffer through 8+ rounds of almost no power shots, no hooks...just a stiff boring jab...i dunno how this dude is ****in Hayden P
He should do. There is a massive size difference and Chambers will be a stationary target. If WALD punches as hard as his fans make out (not that I am disputing) then I think he should take out a man who could probably make CW.
Entirely possible, although I think Chambers is gonna make it to the final bell. Wouldn't be surprised to see him retire in the corner either, however.
