Nobody cares...:confused:
ought to be interesting...
Hypothetically, I find this to be a very interesting match up. However, it's the heavies, so I honestly find it very hard to care all that much or to get seriously interested. I'll definitely be watching it though, the potential for a Chambers win is there.
I didn't hear about it happening....hell yeah, I am pleased with this fight. Eddie Chambers has the skill to box Sam Peter's ears off....Sam has struggled in his last couple of fights and he needs a win to get back to where he can contend.
I never thought that highly of Sam Peter, I was always realistic about his power after everyone fell in love with the guy when he KO'd Jeremy Williams. I think if Sam Peter changed trainers and learned how to open up an opponent for the KO then I think he could be dangerous for anyone to fight. The problems Sam has are: he's got slow feet, he has heavy hands, he doesn't like throwing combinations, and his defense isn't all that great as he doesn't move his head or his feet all too much. Sam needs to shorten up on his punches, try not to KO somebody with every punch and I am thinking if he was taught James Toney's defense he would do a lot better.
Eddie Chambers just needs to throw more punches....if he's able to fight for a full 10-12 rounds then he is also a dangerous fighter. He has good punching power for as light as he is.
If they just focused in on what he did in the 2nd Toney fight. Peter (for Peter) was amazing. He was light on his feet, even bouncing a couple times and didn't look for a KO. He actually utilized a jab and took power shots when power shots were actually available. Sam needs to stay under 250 (I'd like to see him get down to 240) and learn how to move his head and develop a guard.Quote:

I think Peter will win this one. In his loss to Wladimir he did what you might consider well (in his mind) by knocking him down 3 times and taking Wlad's punches up until the closing seconds of the last round. He probably did no retooling after that. But there's no kidding himself that he was completely outclassed by Vitali and I think he is doing some retooling. Peter will get lazy again, but he'll be on point against Chambers. Eddie has a good guard, but he lets guys hit him to the body. If they watch tape they'll see that Peter can bomb him to the gut and what happened to Chambers when he tasted a little bit of Povetkin's power? He clammed up and cruised to an L. I think Peter will test him to that soft body and Chambers will repeat his performance against Povetkin. Sam won't respect his power and walk through whatever he throws to do what he wants. It's not like Chambers moves around. He's extremely stationary and that's bad against a heavy-handed fighter.
FINALLY a second chance for eddie to get himself back up there.
He boxed povetkins head off for a lot of that fight and came oh so close to actually beating him.
The guy can punch and can take a punch.....thats pretty much all you need in this division at the moment unless of course your fighting either of the klitschkos!!
I don't think Samuel Peter is getting the credit as a boxer he deserves, he has pretty quick hands for his size, unless you move well he is a pretty good boxer, I mean look how he outboxed Toney so completely in their second fight, he is also so big and powerful, I can't see him being anything less than a favorite going into this fight.
Eddie has very good skills. I like Eddie he is from Philly so I usually like those fighter's but Peter is way to big and Eddie can not keep him off of him the entire night. Chambers got tired in the last stage's of the fight with Povetkin and he hasn't fought anyone as good since then. I think he has been on the fence to long (Chambers) and he will be stopped by Peter late in the fight.
