I am not yet sold on Fast Eddie Chambers

I dont know about great defense... More like moving backwords or hugging... Which is effective... But hardley great defense. Which i see as lateral movement and head movement :good

 

In sparring, Eddie isnt easy to hit, but he isn't hard. I've definitely done my damage in some practice sessions.

Thats the kiss of death when fighting Wlad. Eddie is gonna be roundly outclassed and thumped, much like Wlad's last, 6 or 7 opponents.

But, Eddie is fast, crafty, and see's things well in the ring. He'll trouble most other heavyweights, because he's something that most heavyweights aren't: slick. Byrd couldn't beat Wlad, and needed serious, serious luck to beat Vitali. Didn't stop him from beating most of the foes he faced. Eddie can have plenty of success, even if he's extremely unlikely to beat the best of the best.

 

Vlad is very skilled, boxing 101.

 

Best posting in this thread. :good

I don´t see Chambers beating Klitschko, but i didn´t think of him beating Dimitrenko either, cause of the huge difference in size and reach. Unlike Povetkin he seems to have the balls though to give it a try at elite level. He earns some respect therefore, even if he goes out of it in defeat. I just hope, it won´t effect him in a negative manner if he get´s defeated at
the hands of Wladimir Klitschko.

 

Chambers did what he had to do to become the mandatory. All this bull**** "OH HE NEVER BEAT ANYBODY" those guys do not know what they're talking about. Let Chambers have his shot, period.
