So if current IBF/WBO/IBO/ The Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko fights his WBO Mandatory Challenger Eddie Chambers, how would the fight go down and what would the ultimate result be? Vote and comment...
chambers would give him movement, he would not be a sitting target that is for sure...IMO he would give Wlad problems for the first 5 or so rounds with his speed and movement but in the end wlad would be too big too strong for eddie to deal with
Klit by close but clear decision. Chambers defense and reflexes are great for a man his size. Wlad has never fought a fighter who has the kind of skillset that he does...I would say Chris Byrd did, but Byrd attempted to fight him in a different way, which was a huge mistake. To beat Wlad you need to get past his jab. In all honesty, Chambers is the only fighter at that weight with the head movement good enough to do it. Problem is, I dont think he is busy enough to make Wlad pay for it when he does get past it. On top of that, if he does get inside and start to work well, Wlad will tie him up and negate it. And from the outside, Eddie has no chance. Because of this movement and defense, I can definately see him taking Wlad to the cards...but not winning. Its a fight Id love to see tho. Of course, that is the IN SHAPE version of Chambers I am talking about (Dimitrenko)...not the out of shape one (Peter/Povetkin...pretty much every fighter pre-Dimitrenko LOL). He shows up out of shape, forget everything I just typed.
Just watch the first Chris Byrd fight. LOL Just looked up and saw Farmboxer's post. Now that is funny. (we are thinking the same thing)
Vlad is a very talented boxer. He is peaking now and extremely underrated by America bias. He is getting better with every fight. Vitali will fight a little longer and is extremely underrated also. Vitali used the Euro style combined with kick boxing style, looks awkward, but his style is very effective.
Wlad would look bad in the first 2-3 rounds as he's a slow starter. If Chambers can't put him on the floor in the first 2 rounds then Wlad's jab will take over and the first couple of heavy right bombs will start to land flush on Chambers' face that will soften up his morale until he completely breaks down. Wlad by late TKO.
