    Chambers takes a page from the Vitali handbook and with greater speed sticks and moves, firing off rapid combinations and sliding out of range of Peter's haymakers for 10 rounds.

    Peter does not know how to adapt to Plan B or C.
    He gets befuddled easily by speed and lateral movement.
    Chambers cruises to an easier-than-expected UD.

    Since Peter fights Wlad in 2005, he is a broken man. Not be the same fighter.

    Chambers by UD.

    I'm going with Chambers by UD due to his boxing ability and some speed to go along with Peter lack of boxing skills.

    Wow! Peter's stock has really gone down recently. This will be Fast Eddie's big chance at redemption. I like his attitude and he has good speed with a solid punch. Povetkin looked pretty stunned when Eddie landed those right hands.

    Peter was overrated probably, but currently he is underrated for sure. The fight with Vitali is the reason. Many people forget that Vitali would make most of the heavies out there look pretty silly.

    I'm very mixed on this one so I'm not going to vote. I have the feeling that Peter will be hopelessly outboxed for much of the fight, but all he has to do is land one good one and things will change - or end. 12 rounds of avoiding power like that is a tough order.

    Chambers in an easy fight. Peter can't KO the better fighters he fights he has only KOed the Glass Jawed bums he was fed through his first 20 fights or so. Since then he has only KOed one fighter of note. (Maskaev)

    Peter has no skill and no plan B in a fight. Chambers showed a good enough Chin against Povetkin he will box the ears off the plodding, slow Sam Peter.

    Peter might be the most OVERRATED fighter on here.

    Let me guess, you predicted Peter would KO a ring rusty Vitali and complained about the stupidity of anyone who favored Vitali?

    Peter is a tough fellow with a strong will to win, a good chin for straight punches (not so good for hooks and uppercuts), some very basic boxing skills and a lot of raw physical strength which rarely translates into useful punching power. He is terribly undisciplined, gets obese between fights, needs his training camps to get from obesity to just being overweight and therefore has not improved since his loss to Wlad. He overestimates himself like very few fighters, deluded himself into believing he was robbed against Wlad, deluded himself into believing he could beat Vitali without totally reinventing himself as a fighter or that he was ever the best HW in the world. His best fight was the rematch against Toney, the smallest HW in the top 30. He had no gameplan to beat a giant like Vitali, no ability to adapt against a fighter who was inactive for four years.

    What is there to underestimate?
