Yeah I enjoy hearing the inside scoop and fighters, trainers, or insider's perspective on things. That said, I think I ******* Eddie Chambers off once when I was trolling about Hughie Fury knocking him out in sparring lol. It's was all meant in good fun though.
Eddie had a decent little run around here.... Wish he'd post more though. Only guy I ever gave any shtick was Chauncy because he talked a big game on here about having too much for SBW and assured us all that he was taking the fight very seriously and would come in much better shape than in recent outings.... Come fight night he shows up as a beached whale and is used as a heavy bag for the entire duration of the bout.
I spoke to Chauncy a few times and he was always very cordial and would answer any questions you asked. He was always terribly overweight though and I remember all that stuff you're talking about.
Bredis and Gassiev are both P4P top 15 very good fighters in their prime, big punchers, granite chins, and undefeated and had home advantage when Usyk beat them. Which makes Usyk the true real deal right now in boxing.
I'd say overrated. He only became the WBC champion because Bellew dropped The title, since the heavyweight division had more money to offer. Bellew would've exposed how one dimensional Briedis is before knocking him out. If Briedis was as good as everyone says he would stopped Huck, who is completely shot and the very mediocre Perez.
