    Maybe.......Wald early on before his loss to sanders was amazing. But that was before he faced a real ELITE level HW. But I think that KO loss took alot out of him mentally. Offensively he's not the force he once was but with experience he's a better more intelligent fighter. He's just lacking offensively that he use to have when he was undefeated.

    I think Chambers beats Vatili, but not Wald. Chambers is a good boxer and while he lacks power he unlike Kiven Johnson is not gun-shy. Vatili dose not use his size advantage as well as he should. While he has very good uper body movement, he is there to be hit. He has a great jab, but it is an offensive weopen not a defensive one. Nor dose it set up other punches. He throws a Jab than a cross as oposed to jab,cross. His punches are indenpent of each other rather than part of a flow. Chambers is "fast" enuoug to take advantage. Unfortuntily for Chambers he is fighting Wald. Wald's main weekness is his ability to take a punch and Chambers bigggest weekness is his ability to delever a big punch. Also Wald is probbly the best big heavyweight at taking advantage of his size advantages. More so than Lewis. I think Wald is going to stay on the outside and jab and move for 12 rounds. On route to a 12 round decision or a late stopage.

    Nice video.. But as a Klitschko fan I'm worried..

    Chambers seemed to have no problem getting on inside of Dimitrenko.

    Is Klitschko so much better then Dimitrenko that he won't allow that??? Cause I don't remember last time Wlad fought someone who wasn't a slow slob that Wlad could take apart.


    Can't wait for this fight!!

    Chambers and his trainer seem to have conficence and a plan, of sorts, to beat Wlad.

    But as we all know, the best laid plans go out the window when you start getting hit.

    Chambers will learn what Sultan, Chagaev, and Byrd all learned. All were fast, skilled fighters who thought they could weather the storm and power and get something done. They were not...........Wlad's reach, combined with his speed and power make him almost impossible to penetrate and get inside.

    And even if Chambers does manage to get inside, he'll take some powershots from hell for doing so. In addition to the fact that Chambers does not have the power it'd take to rock Wlad, even if he did get inside and land.

    Chambers is toast. :good But I am glad to see he at least seems confident, and that he has the infamous plan.........:blood

    Chageev made the best attempt at getting to Wlad, and even he didn't fair well, at all. Alot of side to side movement and you do your best to dodge and weave your way inside without taking too much damage in the process. Easier said than done when your opponent is very skilled, AND so big and powerful. Wlad is light years ahead of Dimitenko in every way. Totally different skill level, and power level, too.

    I doubt Chambers will last very long, but we'll see. He does deserve a chance to work his plan.

    Without needing to say this but I will, Chambers is no Louis. He has a chance to win but he needs to be confident not overconfident like when he suffered his first loss against Povetkin. He has a slight chance to win as I miss the days of huge upsets:|:|

    He may not be exciting, but Wlad is a great model of a fighter. He comes in 100% in shape, he sticks to his game plan, he fights the best guys out there. Chambers is a good opponent, certainly better than Povetkin or Arreola is.

    No EC has no chance to win at all, but he has the chance to go the distance and make it an exciting bout. As some other people have already stated, Wlad is big and powerful, but Chambers is not and he does not possess that much of a speed and skill advantage to negate his handicap.

    Its rather odd that Povetkin beat Chambers, and Povetkin is still trying to improve himself and muster the courage to take Wlad on, and Chambers is doing it.

    Gotta give Chambers credit for taking the fight, when Povetkin (who beat him) can't seem to get around to it.

    At least Chambers is in shape and has some speed unlike the fat slobs who just stand on the ropes versus Wlad. Wlad will win but I think Chambers won't disgrace himself.

    Chambers showed me a couple things against Dimitrenko that will work against Wlad. Dimitrenko doesn't fight too similarly to Wlad, but other than have the dimensions of Kilt, he uses some of the same tactics.

    The first one is Wlad leaves his left hand stretched out when he isn't jabbing to keep his opponent at bay. Dimitrenko did the same and Eddie would hit AD's glove with a left hook, which made him not want to do it anymore. That's an old school move right there.

    The second is the way Chambers would power himself out of a clinch. But it wasn't typical clinches, Dimitrenko was using Klitschko type of clinches where they put all there on top of their opponent. It prevents counters and in the long run tires them out. Eddie was still going strong in the 12th.

    These are 2 of the main tactics in Wlad's arsenal that he will no longer be able to use and Wlad does not feel comfortable unless he's able to use them. Eddie has supposedly sparred with Wlad before, so I think he's being overlooked.

    Why is Lennox always helping Wlad's opponents?

    Normally I'd say he had no chance at a KO, but this is Wlad we're talking about.
