    Ruiz needs to realise he's **** and no-body likes him

    Eddie lost virtually every round in their first fight, sans Ledderman and one judges score cards. He might do better in a rematch, keep in mind Povetkin was able to counter Eddie on several occasions when he got more aggressive, but I wouldn't pick him in a rematch.

    Chambers has looked a bit better in his last fight but his opponent did not respond very well when pressured. Still Chambers looked better. Good enough to avenge his loss I doubt it. As for Klitchko sure he is the favorite going in against almost everyone but lhe was on the deck 3 times against Peter and TOS had him down and right off his game. These guys are not great fighters and neither is Wlad. His competition has been not very good but there is not much out there. Povetkin should fight Wlad and go in confident he can take him out.Yes he is going to get hit but he should know if Klithcko starts getting hit he will start to come apart very quickly. I like the matchup and Povetkin deserves his shot. So lets get on with it.

    Chambers won the first four rounds with good defense and clean counter-punching. Round 5 I had it a draw, after that Povetkin won rounds 6-12 because Chambers was hardly throwing and Povetkin won due to work rate and landing shots.

    Povetkin isn't a great boxer either, in terms of talent and skill Chambers is better imo. Also Povetkin isn't a hard hitter, he was hurt against Chambers, I don't think he can just simply walk through Wlad's punches. Unless he get past Wlad's jab, he's not winning. As a matter fact if Povetkin and Wlad fought last year, Povetkin would of had an L on his record.

    Vlad was not knocked down three times vs. Peter. One illegal punch behind the head, the other a shove, zero punch. Povetkin has already beaten Chambers but gets no credit for doing such. Double standard.

    I thought Peter knocked down Wladimir Klitschko two times legitimately, and one time illegitimately behind the head.

    Povetkin is a coward. He could´ve fight Wlad, but he chickened out. Now Chambers get´s his chance. At least Eddie is not afraid of Wlad. He would win a rematch with Povetkin, no doubt.

    If there's no doubt I suggest betting on him if there's a rematch.

    He landed two punches in the first, and the fourth is when Povetkin clearly began to take over, what fight were you watching?

    No Povetkin vs. Chambers was a very close fight.

    If they fight again Chambers will win.

    He landed more than two punches in the first round, you need to watch the fight again.

    He lands two solid shots in the first, most of the round Povetkin is working his body. Do Povetkin's body shots not count at all? If so then I didn't realize we were watching the ams.

    Yeah he landed body shots, but that's about it. Chambers landed two solid shots and other "minor" shots which won him the round. Povetkin didn't land anything cleanly.
