Eddie Chambers stepping up, FINALLY! ...versus Gerald Washington, April 30th

I was gonna say the same. :good

 

Yeah, sounds intriguing, but not clear to me what the terms are for you guys. Is it just Povetkin Wilder, or BOTH PW and FK? What does CST lose?

 

Cool..... Wladimir and Wilder will win...SOWWEY

 

Our bet is which of the EE "underdogs" can spring the "upset" over the young lion they're about to face.

So if neither upset occurs (and if both do) then nothing happens.

 

Pretty intriguing heavyweight fight since its hard to say just what Chambers has left. Surprisingly they are the same age.

At his best Chambers was a good heavyweight and has put a nice record together. Brock, Peter, Dimitrenko(when he was rated),Guinn(when he still had something left), and a few other minor names is a nice collection of wins. I thought he beat Adamek in a close fight and he was injured in that one.

Washington isn't a master technician but he has some good physical traits to his advantage. He struggled with Mansour and Aguillera so we know about what his level is. I'm guessing Chambers is still better than those two and has enough left to win a close decision.

 

Hope this fight is televised but there's already three fights from this card on tv and I don't know if this finds tv time ahead of Gausha-Martinez. Very strong and deep card.

 

Good fight, unlike haye vs euro bum.

 

Actually, I always thought Haye vs Chambers would have been a great fight. Both similar sized, similar in relying on speed and reflexes. I think Chambers probably was slightly quicker, and a better chin, but Haye obviously had more power. Back when they were prime, I viewed it as 50/50, same thing now. Too bad it would never happen.

 

Hasn't he been working mainly as a sparring partner the last couple years?
And does he now have a sparring partner mentality?
And will it matter?
And is this real life?

 

Really, I wouldn't call Washington/Mansour a robbery. Mansour did nothing the first 4 rounds. Wasn't until the 5th that he started winning rounds. I had Mansour winning by 1, but I think a draw was fair.

 

Yeah, if this were Top Rank or Golden Boy there would be hope of the lower card being streamed but I'm not sure "Tom Brown Promotions" is up to par with enough money to pour into the requisite technology for that.

 

Interesting. A guy most people feel should have stayed at Cruiser versus a guy who for most of his career had people saying he belonged down there and not at HW in the first place.

(much like Adamek vs. Chambers, actually)
