    He said he was looking fat and out of shape. May be he walked into James Toney's gym by mistake. Seriously though, how could he not be taking a fight with a fast handed fighter like Eddie Chambers seriously? Especially after looking so bad against the much slower Vitali.

    He will go and Lumber in, and look for the one punch. Sam Prob, look at Eddie and feels that early on Eddie will be to fast, but lean on him too look and tire him out. That way he can land the punch late in the fight. I do hope that Fast Eddie out boxes this slug and sends him on his way.

    I've picked Chambers to outbox Peter from day one. Bad fight for Sam to take in my opinion.

    Chambers by lop sided UD.

    Peter's only chance is to land that big shot. I agree with Teddy that Chambers is the hungrier man and has more to prove at this point. He only has 1 career loss to Povetkin and he can still make a run. Since Peter has lost to both Klitschko's what else can he do unless he dramaticaly changes his shape and fight strategies?

    That is actually not a bad news as it suggests Peter is training after all!

    That's like saying Manny Pacquiao looks Filipino.

    i am very sure your prediction is dead on. good call, even if it seems obvious, there are still an awful lot of people calling the loss to vitali a fluke and spouting off about sam peter being a grand once and future heavyweight beltholder, if not the future unified champ. what has peter ever done to demonstrate that he is able to learn from his mistakes, correct his form accordingly and actually have a plan and stick to it in a fight, let alone make adjustments throughout...which is what he would need to do to have any shot against a slick technician like chambers.

    hasn't peter learned yet that the guys at or around the top of the ranks aren't likely to get spooked by his power and, in so doing, make the mistakes that lead to highlight reel knockouts. that may work on jeremy williams, but eddie chambers is way out of that class of fighter.

    peter just cannot commit himself to the right work ethic a professional boxer needs. he will never get down to the 230s or even low 240s anymore!
    they just haven't found the right man to take away the unhealthy food from peter, because peter gets really angry. can you imagine him in chocolate-rage: "gimme di candy bar! aaaargh"!

    I doubt Peter ever looks good in training. His style resembles that of a free swinging gorilla and he's been fat and out of shape since he cracked into the top 10.

    Chambers by UD all the way.
