    I think Eddie knows what he's going in with seeing as he is another sparring partner opponent

    To be honest, Haye would be the fastest, most explosive opponent for Wlad since a long time, maybe in all his career (Sanders was fast too in his day, although not looking like it). So that makes up for a more fascinating fight than say a Thompson.

    However, Valuev was revisiting that street he knows from before, as other fighters wobbled him too (Bidenko, Nobles, Barrett early, Bergeron). Just maybe not as much, but the hand also landed in the perfect spot, partly on his arteries. A fight of Valuev with Wlad would show how much of that was genuine power and how much it is that Valuev can be hurt if you really commit to your punch.

    Uhmmm. Lewis landed an average of 8 punches per round in those fights. They were boring...period. There were no knockdown, no one was ever hurt, and both fighter fought safe. How in God's name you can call that entertain is beyond me. :patsch

    Chagaev looked better against Valuev than Haye did. He took more chances and he landed more telling punches. Were it not for that right hand in the twelfth, no one would have every known that that was a fight. They would have assumed it was a dance lesson. An average of eight landed punches a round?

    While they did spar... its totally irrelevant to this fight. Chambers was a sparring partner back for the Brock fight. Eddie was beat from post to post back then... things are different now for BOTH fighters.

    Couldn't have put it any better. Lack of footwork and activity almost certainly see Wlad win a shut out. The good thing about this fight though, is that its a mandatory that people actually want to see. Same with Povetkin, good no.1 contenders should make this a decent year for the heavyweights!

    Haye didn't deserve the fight in the first place, and he didn't deserve the win. Yes, he wobbled him once near the end, but he lost the majority of the other rounds.

    He got the fight and stole the win by running his mouth and proving nothing except that he is more marketable than Valuev.

    Haye has no chance of beating either Klit.

    We have yet to see the best of Chambers. If you think Chambers will fight Wladimir the same way he did against Dimitrenko, well then you are sadly mistaken. Chambers will give Wladimir all sorts of angles, move in and out, uand nleash a massive amout of combinations. The problem with previous Wladimir opponents it's just that they were not skilled enough. Ibgramiov had the skills but the wrong gameplan. Chambers has the skills, the mental attitue, and the power to win the fight.

    We shall see . . .

    I'm really looking forward to this fight.
    Just wish it was in the US so I could attend.

    CHEF: Any word on TV for this fight? ESPN perhaps?
