You can compete at heavyweight no mater what you weigh. Weights are a ceiling, not a range. Heavyweight has no ceiling.
Seriously, Chambers doesn't look like he knows what he's in for. He looks like he just smoked a blunt and is in dreamland. This content is protected
I always thought HW was 200 and up... Never saw a guy under that compete at HW since Cruiserweight was introduced
I CANNOT understand why PROFESSIONAL boxers will enter a title fight and look like ****. Chambers is going to get hurt in this fight. Why can't American HW fighters train like they are supposed to?!?! Wvlad by KO by round 6.
209 is light for Chambers I think he is about the same as the Dimitrenko fight he is alot more trim then his Peter fight. Wlad is always in good shape.
He did. Chambers is no RJJ. Chambers needs this weight in order to compete, otherwise the HWs wouldn't take him seriously at all. It's always good to be heavier if the added mass doesn't affect your speed/stamina. Chambers is really fast and has good stamina so... it's probably the best weight at which he can fight in against the heavies. Moving down to cruiser, sure, he'd come leaner, but at cruiser there are no big fights. It's a half dead division. BTW, he doesn't look bad at all. Sure, there is a bit of extra mass, but, nothing exaggerated.
In Europe LHW or Cruiser are quite natural weights, the average wait for a grown man. So I'm surprised there aren't more good LHW's and JHW's in Europe.
Tell me more about such big fights. It's all relative. Nothing is bigger than this fight at Heavy. You'd have to drop down to LHW or even SMW to get comparable money. There are two reasons for Cruisers moving up north: 1. For wanting a new, harder challenge. 2. Money People say Heavyweight is poor, TBH, Heavyweight is of legendary status when compared to division south of its borders.
