...and a year and half later he looked like possibly the most skillful HW at the moment against an opponent that actually bears some relation to Wlad. Povetkin and Wlad are completely different.
Whats the fight called? 'Another Yank bites the dust' is Chambers better than the last 2 turnips who fought Vitali?
I believe Eddie is actually a bit better, but long not enough to be a real threat. And the fact that Wlad only lost to big hitters and never from a boxer akes it an easy bet anyway.
Chagaev didn't come to survive. He tried very hard and had Wlad missing a lot, but just couldn't close the gap well enough.
i wish i saw that but from round 3 on, chagaev just stood there. i rarely saw head movement, combinations and any attempts to work inside past the second round
I think people sometimes forget Wlad is very hard to hit, for anyone. Chagaev was a legitimate title-ist and a good win I agree with this. Thompson looked good in his last fight, and I Chambers may have improved enough at this point to beat Povetkin. It would be an interesting one
Hayden's probably made Wladi's legs even weaker lol jk....I'm going upset. Chambers looked great against Dmitrenko who's physically the same fighter as Wlad (in terms of physical dimensions, hand speed, and perhaps power).......One thing I will say is he's got to move his head just a wee bit more, Dmitrenko caught him with a few lead jabs and 1-2s and his jab completely pales compared to Wlad's that being said I hope Eddie has stuck to his promise to stay in shape and I'm going upset
I don't want to disrespect Chambers by saying he's got no chance - because he's worked hard and he deserves this opportunity, but ... the prognosis on a Chambers victory is bleak.
