    Very true. Perhaps an easier fight like you say might be the way to get him back on his heels again. I just hope he's able to use the Povetkin fight as a learning experience. Chambers is not the next Muhammad Ali, but I still think there's hope for him to be half way decent.

    I think Johnson is a little better than Chambers, but Eddie has been in against better competition. I chose Johnson but might change my mind. Whoever wins, I just hope they both are in shape and throw punches.

    Chambers looked very bad down the stretch against Povetkin, a guy who was there to be hit.

    I predict this fight is going to be two pounds of horse crap in a one pound bag. Kevin Johnson plays it safe, and Chambers isn't one to risk much either. Both guys are fast, and will respect each others speed. I see a fight with limited punching, a lot of posing and dancing, next to no damage done to either fighter, and close but boring decsion.

    I would certainly appear that way. Neither manhas the power to do any serious damage to the other, and likewise, neither are terribly aggressive.

    Either Chambers or Johnson vs. Chris Arreola would be a better fight to watch.

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Put this one to rest once and for all.

    I'd probably have ended up rooting for KJ anyway, but Eddie shitting the bed against Povetkin seals it. :good

    I also do think Johnson wins, and will thankfully now start to get the fights that for some strange reason eluded him while falling into Chambers' lap (when neither one is any more crowd-pleasing a commodity as a tv fighter than the other, and as Lampley said, Johnson is technically a bit better).

    Chambers by decision.
