Kudos to Povetkin and the Heavyweight Division

So, up with whitie then?

 

I thought Chambers was outboxing him early, he should have worked harder throughout the fight. I respect what Povetkin has accomplished in 15 fights, but although he showed a lot of heart and determination last night, he looked very vulnerable to me. I've never been much of a Klitschko fan, but i see Wlad destroying this guy. I mean, it'll be UGLY.
I'll say this though: last night's fight was good and pretty entertaining IMO. There ARE in fact good fights to see at heavyweight, contrary to popular belief.

 

BTW, i give Dimitrenko a better shot at beating Klitschko. The only heavy weight who can match him for size AND speed. Plus, he has an equally shaky chin, which should make for a fun fight.

 

I really don't think all this "Chambers was outboxing him" stuff is true. I watched the fight, and Chambers was landing maybe 10 clean punches a round, while Povetkin was landing maybe 25 partially blocked ones, but some were getting through. Chambers' quickness and counter jab/right were hitting Sacha pretty suddenly, but they simply weren't enough to get him rounds.

 

I agree :yep Congrads to him :good

 

I agree slim........................100%.

 

I'm more curious to find out how Chambers next fight goes...

 

a lopsided win?? Have you seen the fight?

I had Povetkin winning too, but it was a close fight. There's compubox stats for the fight somewhere in another thread here, Povetkin had a much higher punch output than Chambers but the number of punches landed by both was about the same. Chambers also scored the harder, more accurate punches imo.

It was a good win for Povetkin tho, he showed he can rally after a bad start and has enough stamina to finish strong in the championship rds - that's more important for him to gain experience than another easy win.

The HW divison better now than ever?? Hell no, there's one good HW out there, Klitschko, who could be top ten in the 90s or 70s, that's it. Many HWs may be bigger and stronger now than before, but that don't mean that they are better. It's the skills that count. If not, Valuev would be the best HW ever... BTW, the beltholders other than Klitschko - Ibragimov, Maskaev and Chagaev - are not that big, nor is Povetkin...

 

Chambers could of easily out boxed him if he had the heart and motivation to do so, but for what ever reasons he was never in the fight.

 

My thoughts exactly, being bigger and stronger never made a man more talented, if anything it makes you less skilled and clumsy in the ring. Povetkin is an above average Heavyweight at best, the 05-06 version of Brewster would of had a field day with a fighter like him, if Chambers can stun him, a guy like Brewster, Wlad or Peter would knock him out easily.
