As for the scores, 119-109-- RIDICILIOUS , dam, that judge suks ... so if eddie won the last two rounds, id give the fight to him, but that judge would still see it a BIG povetkin win. hmm 117-111, ehh, ok but not great... 116-112 thats goods,

115-113 Povetkin is what I got.

Sorry bud with all due respect if you were a gudge and scored it 115-113 then trust me, the majority of us here would probably be talking about you!! Something along the lines of "What the FUCK was that judge smoking". Povetkin won no doubt.

Chambers is a flat footed counter puncher, with no stamina past 5 rounds and no plan B. His potential is Maxed out. Dead Legs. Take away his one good strength and u have what u seen, A contender. Thats it, a fighter that is rank IMO about 11 or 12. No further

chambers almost robbed my ass hahahah
you cant win by blocking shots and landing 3 punches a round

Eddie Chambers won about 4 rounds....other than that his punch output was too low because either he got tired or didn't feel comfortable throwing more punches.

But when Eddie threw he did more damage and landed cleaner

Chambers robbed himself and some of us if anything.

I hate to say but I most be honest I had it 10 rounds to 2.Say what you will but for me Chambers was faster and showed alot of skill but guess what in fight you must THROW PUNCHES.I mean come on 290 ish punches in 12 rounds of boxing.S**T I fight in the amateur's with three rounds too work and I throw more than that.

I must say.If the fight so close to some of you why was his father begging him to get his ass into gear in like the 4th round and every round thereafter and you can't bring up being in Germany and being robbed and all that.His father was saying what I was seeing."You've got to get going"."Did you travel this far to lose".

The fight was close to a point but the first few rounds Chambers was clearly getting the better of Povetkin.....and either he gassed out or just didn't feel comfortable throwing punches in the later rounds. The fight was close for a while....a lot closer than Povetkin expected it would be I am sure

Do you think maybe he got caught with something early that made freeze up. I think he is a very defensive minded fighter and doesn't know how to switch to offense easily.If that makes sense.That's the only thing I could think while watching it.
