Maybe a boxer can win one round or two against Wlad, but Wlad cannot be outboxed over 12 rounds. Wlad did not need the judges to win fights, he wins fights with his fists. In Wlad´s whole career there is no decision gift or refree bul**** nono
To say that Wlad cannot be outboxed for 12 rounds is ignorant. I bet if Wladimir was fighting a prime Holyfield (who was also a natural cruiser) he would be beaten to a decision, but most likely would get knocked out. I would say Chambers skill level is on par with a prime Holyfield. Also it must be easy for Wladimir to easy outbox his opponents when all he needs to do is the same thing over and over again.
I think Eddie has to go for the KO. I just can't see him winning by UD. I like both guys, so I'm definitely not biased.
I like Eddie Chambers but Wladimir will knock him out. No way Chambers can outbox Wlad for 12 rounds. Wlad is not Dimitrenko! Dimitrenko did not know how to move and use his size because of his trainer Fritz Sdunek. This trainer ruins Wlad. Wlad now is with Emanuel Steward and Steward is a Master of training tall fighters and making a game plan for fight day.
I personally believe that Chambers is the future of the HW division despite his sleep inducing style. Very fast hands, great reflexes and good overall skill set.
I know he's no KO artist but he has a big enough punch early to hurt Wlad like he hurt Povetkin. We all know what happens to Wlad when he gets caught with a big shot. Nobody has touched his chin good since Sam Peter knocked him down.
So what? What happens? Wlad goes down against Peter, but every time he got up and fight and won!! Today Wlad knows what´s to do if he is hurt. But Chambers will not hurt Wlad. Wlad improved his defence since his fight against Peter. And Peter was a bigger puncher.
Wlad was in serious trouble against Peter and barely hung on for dear life. He all of a sudden learned to have a better chin? Sanders KO'ed Wlad with a straight left FFS. Have you ever heard the term speed kills? You're obviously biased for Wlad. Will Wlad win? Probably, but don't act like I'm crazy for thinking that MAYBE Chambers can pull off an upset. It's happened before against guys that Wlad was SUPPOSED to beat.
Here is the issue though: Chambers does not have the power of a Sanders, he fights flat footed and moves at the waist he has no foot movement or head movement at all and he fights with a high guard which Wlad will simply shoot right through with his Jab and straight right. Chambers is a very good fighter and I think underrated on here by a lot of people. But style wise this is a bad fight for Chambers and that is not even mentioning the height and weight difference. I see this fight going just like the second Byrd fight did. If Chambers stands in front of Wlad he will get mauled. That is just the way it is. He has to use some head and foot movement which he does not have. I like Chambers he is a very likable guy and is the best current US Heavyweight.
When did you guys realize that Wladimir improved alot with Emanuel Steward in his corner. Wlad fought Sanders in 2003 and his trainer was Sdunek. Watch the fight, Sanders was a hard hitting southpaw and Wlad underdressed Sanders. Wlad was hurt by a hard left, he goes down, went to his corner and looks what happend. A desaster corner work!!!! Wlad´s chin is okay. And with Steward he becomes the boxer he was before 2000, fast and very skilled with great movement and footwork. Today he knows how to box relaxed and cover energy for the later rounds. Wlad will win by KO, no doubt about it.:bbb:bbb
Chambers thinks that Klitschko will be like Dimitrienko. I dont know if its good or bad. On one hand he will not come in scared against him, which is good, but on the other hand when he gets hit he may be shocked.
chambers is a good fighter, but there is no way in hell he beating wladimir klitschko. chambers will not even win a single round and get knocked out before the 9th round. wlad is unbelievble fast, not as fast as chambers or haye, but cause of his footwork and timing he is fast enough to go for chambers and to controll the whole fight. his jab is the best jab i have ever seen. it's very fast and the great thing about his jab, it's like a power punch. his straight right and his left hook, i don't need to explain that. chambers would beat everyone today besides povetkin and the k bros. he should have went for haye and not for wladimir
