    It starts at 22:35 Berlin time - that's 1:35 pm Pacific and 4:35 Eastern time. It will be broadcast live on ARD TV in Germany. There will be a broadcast on Russian TV as well at that time.

    I've seen reports there's a LIVE, LEGAL Stream on another site ........scene at 22:35 German Time?

    Seen other Pay Sites advertising it. One that looked tempting to join, so yes there's gotta be a stream somewhere.

    Can anyone pop a link here?

    Chambers got a decent chance of winning, Chambers is the better boxer, Povetkin is the better puncher. Chambers hand speed is amazing, which reminds me of a young Chris Bryd. I dont see Chambers getting knocked out, possibly stopped, but Im guessing it will end in decision for Povetkin.

    Ahunanya was a good fight as I remember it. He came to win.

    I've not seen Chambers fight.
    Living in Germany I've seen most or all of Povetkin's fights.


    The thing to remember when scoring fights from Germany/Europe is a Jab counts, cuffing don't count as a scoring punch.

    I have seen a few fights where the home town boy got a Home town decision like Forman vs Schulz or DHL vs Strum or A Bayer fight vs that Canadian, which I scored a draw. .....
    And No Reed vs Ottka, was throwing cuffing illegal punches so were not scored.... and then changed his strategy in the 8th so lost...had he stayed doing what he was doing, he'd won.
    Hill won vs Maske for real....that second thing was nearly as big a robbery as Patterson vs Ellis. Hill won the first 6 rounds and 2 of the last six easy.
    Hill lost a good fair fight vs Arslan.

    The Germans took the criticism of their fights, so you do not have any German judge scoring a major fight with a German in it, out side of German vs German.

    Why do those fighters fight in Gemany, for the more money than they would ge in the US.

    I cant help but like Chambers by decision in this fight. I think he will be able to beat Povetkin to the punch more often than not. Will he get a fair decision in Germany? I hope so, it really tarnishes a fight when the judges put the screw job on a fighter.

    I think both Povetkin and Chambers are good fighters. Bright futures for both. I also think people have underated Chambers some and overated Povetkin a bit. It seems like in the rush to find a "great" heavyweight Povetkin gets overated some. He's good and has been impressive so far, but I'm not sold on his greatness yet. Tonight will give us a lot of answers to both fighters and the division as well.
