Ruiz upsets AJ. Eddie climbs in the ring and calls him out. We subsequently have a mostly-unified three-belt world title match between fast-handed, light-hitting, pudgy natural cruisers. The winner is called out by Fres Oquendo, to determine the quickest man on the planet. The winner of Oquendo vs. Chambers/Ruiz is called out by Deontay Wilder for a full unification, and it ends up blowing up in his face when he gets schooled for 12 rounds. The heavyweight champion is then called out by the division's estranged king, Tyson Fury. Another boring 12-rounder. The winner of that fight is called out by returning WBC emeritus champion Vitali Klitschko. He wins. Klitschko vs. Lewis II for all the marbles, sometimes in 2022, both men hobbling into the ring with bad hips and grey hair. Sound ridiculous? This is the heavyweight division we're talking about. What I've outlined above is probably less ridiculous than however things actually end up panning out.
Klitchsko signs to fight Wilder on Dazn. The night of the fight after wilder walks into the ring, Eddie Hearn grabs the mic and says: “Deontae, it’s true I said you would be fighting klitchsko tonight........but I never said which one!” The lights in the arena go out and suddenly you hear the opening guitar riff to AC/DC’s Hell’s Bells
Is he still fast? I suspect he is. Maybe just not as far as he was. Heh Notasfastashewas Chambers. It has a ring to it. Bye.
Eddie "Fasterthanmostheavyweightsbutreallythatisn'tsayingmuchalsorememberhegotschooledbyMchunudownatcruiserweight" Chambers
lol you're right anything's possible.Just read on the BBC an interview where Fury says he expects the rematch with Wilder to be next up after Schwartz.Ordinarily I wouldn't have any problems with this but imo this just shows what B.S. the WBC is made of as only last week the talk was about Fury having to face Whyte for the spot to face Wilder or something? Just can't believe how Fury never mentioned this and how fickle they are..
I met Eddie Chambers outside the Staples Center for Vitali vs Arreola.. He was hella cool, even took a pic with me... He would beat either AJ or Ruiz back in his day
One of the most disappointing performances at heavyweight of the last 10+ years. Gerald just meekly used his massive size advantage and Eddy had no desire or dog in him to make it a fight to negotiate that advantage. And so it went for 10 rounds.
