    What do you think they each bring to the table?

    Povetkin - Skill, Class, Athletic Intelligence, Power, Speed, Accuaracy, Range of Punches

    Chambers - Absolutley nothing

    what do you expect there strategy to be?

    Povetkin - Out box, out wit, out fight and trhow combos to a mid ko.

    Chambers - to try and be fast

    How could each win

    Povetkin - Out boxing, out witting and out fighting chambers. Letting Chambers try to be fast but absolutley doing him over.

    Chambers - Povetkin slips on his way to the ring and breaks his leg

    How do you think the fight will play out

    Povetkin outboxing chambers to a mid round stoppage. People realising Chambers is only there because he is American

    what is your prediciton

    Chambers UD12













    hahahahahaha Povetkin TKO8!

    That pretty much sums it up. :lol:

    Chambers is a defensive fighter and his defense isn't even very good. He also has bad stamina/workrate, movement, and zero power. He's gunshy and he fights in spurts. Povetkin will swarm him and break him down.. it's that simple. This fight will be much easier than the Byrd fight. If Chambers' chin is average, he'll be knocked out in the mid-early rounds, if his chin is pretty good he will be knocked out in the mid-late rounds.

    I hope Povetkin digs shots to the body more than he did in the Byrd fight early on, because Chambers allows fighters do this to him all the time when he puts his guard up. He's never been in with a fighter as tricky, quick, and powerful on the inside as Povetkin and he will see that the defense that has been working effectively for him against C-levels will not be working at all. Povetkin will confuse Chambers, land combinations constantly, and stop him.

    Chambers by UD. He doesn't have much power - but he has speed.

    How much faster than Chris Byrd can Chambers be? Did Byrd's speed do him any good? Povetkin beat Byrd at his own game.

    Povetkin by KO. Chambers might cause him some trouble early but more than likely Povetkin gets a stoppage victory around the 6th.

    Eddie Chambers has horrible defense. Calvin Brock was able to hit him at will. As soon as he gets in there with a puncher, he's getting TKO'd. He's a poor mans Chris Byrd with less defense.

    This fight is going to be very similar to Povetkin vs Byrd.

    I expect Chambers to try to outbox Povetkin with his fast hands and be sucessfull in the first half of the fight, but eventually Povetkin will land a big blow and change the flow of the fight, stopping Chambers late by TKO.

    Chambers is nothing like Brock.

    Chambers is too immobile to go at it with Povetkin. Povetkin lands almost at will, while Chambers tries to time his jab, getting frustrated that he's not able to just throw it out there constantly. This should be a blowout. Povetkin TKO 7 on accumulation.

    That is what I stated many times before. I think even at this stage Byrd is still better than Chambers.

    Chambers is not mobile enough. He also the power to keep Povetkin off him. Combine those two and you know that Chambers is going to have a hard time dealing with Povetkin. He has nice fast hands though; but so does Povetkin.

    I think just about everyone picking Povetkin said what I would. Povetkin has the better mobility, power, underrated defense, as fast if not faster hands, great ring intelligence, and an expansive arsenal. Chambers is going to get broken down and taken out by the mid rounds.
