Calvin Brock vs. Eddie Chambers IBF Eliminator #2 (Rd. by Rd. / Chat)

Was looking thru the threads and didn't see any threads in regards to this fight.

It's happening today Nov. 2nd Showtime will air the fight.

Thoughts & Opinions?

I'll take Chambers on points, I guess. This fight don't interest me to much. But I'll watch it

I also voted Eddie points.

I think Brock just doesnt have it in him to go back out there and win. On the other hand Eddies hungry and looks to be ready for the challenge.

To think that Chambers vs. Povetkin can possibly happen is just great.
2 top prospects take on eachother for a shot at the top dawg!

I'll take Chambers on points too. But I think this is a really evenly matched fight. I hope it's a good one!

Chambers UD, too much speed for Brock, however what may be working in Brock's favor is the lack of power
that Chambers has. Brock could very well take him out in the later rounds. Could actually be an interesting
fight, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

I'll be the odd man out and say k.o. by Brock late. Honestly, only seen Chambers fight twice and I've liked Brock for a few years, so just fanboy hope I guess ::**

chambers is gonna KTFO him

I like both of these guys. Eddie is a small fast heavyweight who kind of reminds me of how heavyweights were in the Floyd Patterson era, Guys like Zora Foley etc.

I am a fan Of Calvin Brock though, he has something to prove after the Wlad loss. Then again he may not want the win all that much knowing what comes next. Eddie Chambers is not going to fare much better if he faces Wlad either.

This bout should be billed as "The Sacrificial Lamb Showdown"

I'm gonna go for Brock late on in the fight too, because I still think he's a force at heavyweight, and seems to carry more power than Chambers from what little I've seen of them both. The main difference is that we know Brock can get beaten, and so far it hasn't happened to Chambers, so you never really know what he's got in the tank until he's called to use it all up.

Might give this a look if it's on sopcast...anyone no???

Nah you're not the odd man out I too share your optimism.

Brock has weighed in at a massive 241 lbs not sure yet if that is a good or bad thing.

Chambers is 215 I think and about 20 lbs of that is just fat, I really think he could make light heavy if he was totally ripped.

A Brock late KO isn't out of the question but I say his power tells, not enough to KO Chambers but enough to win him the late rounds.

I'm suprised at the lack of faith people have got in Brock after just one loss and that to Wladimir.

Chambers hasn't beaten anyone apart from an NFL player and Dominic Guinn, but lets be fair every fighter of note beats Dominic Guinn. If he hadn't he would be joining Audley Harrison on the dung heap so a points win over Guinn doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

Brock is 241 pounds?! :o

I like Brock and hope he wins, but he is sure carrying a barrel there.

Brock 241... hope he can puch harder hes wanna my favorite fighters of to day

Its not Calzaghe-Kessler but its decent level boxing on a Friday night, sounds good to me.

I'll go with Chambers on points. Might be influenced by the fact that I have no interest in seeing Brock-Klitschko 2.

Damn, 241 ??? WTF? I can't wait for this fight for some reason{maybe just to keep me occupied before tomorrow night} ;D I always liked Brock after watching him and McCline almost 3 years ago.
