Eddie Chambers vs Tomasz Adamek

I think this would be a pretty good fight. I favour Chambers slightly to take a UD but he will be pushed all the way.

 

Unless Chambers has learned to punch like an animal overnight then I agree I don't see a KO.

 

Estrada is much better boxer than Dimitrenko period.

Povetkin beat Chambers.

 

i go for adamek, even though it looks an awkward fight.

it's the small, fit fighters that eddie struggles with.

eddie is a brilliant boxer, but povetkin took his heart. and adamek is a fanatic who is better than he looks. also, 12 rds vs estrada (similar build, style) can't be bad practise, can it?

chambers isn't as fast as he looks - it's good timing that he has. he usually throws one shot at a time, goes for te clean shots, which favours adamek, who can punch in combination. it'd be very close, but adamek could mug him, edging him over 12 rounds.

 

dimitrenko is a terrible fighter. but it's a good win for chambers, due to size difference, fighting away from home, and the fact that dimitrenko is quite athletic.

 

mein gott how some of you would react in the late 80s if you ever saw holyfield v alex stewart, adilson rodriguez...he'd probably have been accused of being useless, with no chance of winning the heavyweight titles...

 

Chambers is similar fighter to Estrada. Both are slick, but the main difference is Eddie's offense and Estrada's chin. I take Adamek UD against Chambers in a fight that could go either way.

I think that Adamek will never look spectacular against small, fast and slick heavies. He entered HW with speed, combo-punching, dynamism, good footwork - something that 6'4 +240 lb guys often don't have and can trouble them.

 

Compare Chambers speed in Povetkin fight and Dimitrenko fight. Against Ukrainian his punches looked blinding fast. Against Povetkin (who has decent handspeed himself) that speed didn't look so spectacular. Now look at Adamek's fight with Estrada. Both guys have very hast hands for HW division. Estrada can stand like a statue and then fire right from nowhere! He tried that against Adamek and I'm still wondering how 6'1 240 guy can be so fast!

Chambers can take a punch, but Estrada looks immposible to KO - that's quite of difference.

 

chambers by UD! If he is in shape he was against Dimitrenko!

 

exactly. he's built himself up to fight bigger fights, and will be more impressive vs them.

the estrada fight was weird, because he's the kind of small, compact, defensively sound fighter that adamek probably won't be fighting any more of.

on saturday adamek's main problem was finding the target. he could take the shots because estrada isn't a puncher. vs other heavyweights, he will have an easy target to hit. and he will be more inclined to avoid his opponent's shots, because there will be more power.

i believe adaek has built himself up to fight guys like arreola. reckon he should have been 217 vs estrada to have more speed.
