    I've not seen too much on Chambers. Povetkin is not a big puncher, but a solid puncher for sure. His technique, workrate (50-60 punches a round) and pressure make him a tough opponent to go the distance with.

    I've only seen two fights from Chambers (Guinn and Brock) and one fight from Povetkin (I saw some clips) but from the limited film that I've seen I think that it will go the distance.

    I think the fight will go something like the Guinn-Chambers fight except Povetkin's body work will probably make it a close contest on the cards. I'm leaning towards Chambers now though by decision.

    Has there ever been a HW with Chamber's hand speed?

    Up until the Brock fight, i had no idea who he was. But as soon as the first round was over, i couldn't believe how fast his hands were. You can't really game plan for that.

    If he gets into better shape and really tones out, anyone think he can be that next great American champ? I think there's a shot if he's dedicated because his talents are out of this world for a HW.

    Sasha will knock him out.

    I wanna see him against a puncher, coz fighting Byrd and Chambers doesn't prepare your chin for Wlad.

    Do you really think that Povetkin will need the evil Germans to beat Chambers?

    Povetkin-Chambers: is it going the distance?

    This depends. If Chambers risks what he must to win, no it will not go the distance.

    If Chambers plays it safe, the fight will likely go the distance.

    I consider Chambers to be very similar to Byrd, so Povetkin is pretty much fighting the same fight all over again and the result should be similar as well.

    :lol: Absou8lutely not, since Chambers is not that great of fighter. Yes his hand are fast, however, an unmotivated out of shape brock was abel to Hit him easly. He reminds me of a poor mans Chris Bryd. Simalar Hand speed however, not as skilled. While Povetkin after 14 fight Koed Chris Byrd. I understand he might of had difficuly during the fight. However Chris Brydd in his mid thirty's is still a very tough fight. Povetkin will Ko Eddiee Chambers in 9 rounds. With out any need of the so called Evil Germa Judges

    I think the fight go to distance, but i like to se Chamber get knockout because i don't like fat and out of shape fighters, that is killing the sport, move down back to lightheavy, or maybe supermiddleweight that is the true weight for Chambers.
