First 2 rnds to Chambers 3 rnd close but still for Cahmbers...
Povetkin tries it,but doesn't get through Chambers defense...Chambers straight right is hitting at will
Povetkins left eye already swollen...Chambers a little bit faster that Povetkin...
4th rnd still for chambers,but Povetkin is far from beaten...
Eastside gave the first 2 to Povetkin so it will be Chambers then if those idiots say Povetkin but it seems like Eddie is doing really with smart boxing.
Rnd 5:Left hook by Po...Cham is jabbing...Po to the body...Po combos but on the guard...Cham jabbing...
Body head by Po...Po is getting better...Cham jabbing...good straight right by Po...Po punching alot,but only gets half throught the guard at best...nice couner by Cham at end of rnd...
Rnd to Povetkin...
Rnd 6:Both men jabbing...littel left by Cham,Po combos...both hitting now...little right by Po...body by Po...Po combos all on the guard though...nice right by Po...Cham ain't doing much...
Rnd to Po...pretty big...
Workrate by Po much higher...Cham much more precise...
CC Johnny BTW
Rnd 7:Po comos getting much better through...good right by Po...Cham tries but hits only air...good right by Cham...good right by Po...Cham getting more active again...Po combos,Cham countering...left right left by Po...
Rnd to Po...though I doubt that Po can keep that pace...
MAN.....put a spoiler alert up would Ya???
10 dollars on chambers pays off 100
Rnd 8:Po jabbing...upper by Cham...body head by Po...left,right left by Po...counter combo by Cham,nice...Po still comoing much,but getting slower...nice two way action by both...combo by Cham...

at end of rnd Po came again...
Even rnd...
Rnd 10:good combo at start of rnd by PO...and again...nice right by Po...counter by Cham didn't hit clean...always left right left by Po...body by Po...still Po with much higher workrate,but much on the guard...good hard counter left right hooks by Chambers at end of rnd...
Hard to say,but I give it to Po for working more...
Rnd 11:Not much changed Po working alot,Cham waiting(too much) to counter...Cham right eye a bit red...
left hook by Cahm...right by Po...very good and hard combo by Po,Cham felt that one...good right by Po...
Rnd big to Po...
Po's punch output is incrdible... :o
Rnd 12:connection problems... Po is winning big that last rnd...Actually he is trying to knock Chambers out...
Cham doing nothing...
Fight is over...
Rnd and fight to Povetkin...IMO...
Damn those f@#king connection problems...
Official result...
119 109
116 112
117 111
all for Povetkin...116 112 is okay,maybe a little closer...
Chambers looked good in the first half,but did way to little in the second half,even though he didn't
look very tired at the end...
Povetkins defense was crap,if he fights a hard puncher this way he will go down...
But he did take a step back later and was much less hit as before...and he fought like obsessed...
Again Povetkins workrate was incredible...that was more like a middleweight...even though Povetkins
seems to lack power that weren't the biggest punches I've seen...
CC for the rd by rd mate just finished watching it and Chambers deffo won rd 2 and 3 ;)
They interviews Povetkin Promoter at the end and my German aint fantastic yet but he said that providing Klitschko wins in feb against Sultan they will be looking at a
Povetkin - Klitschko matchup in the summer.
i would say Klitschko knocks him out and early IMO
Everybody on this thread has been :coolclick:

anyhoooo gonna stop hijacking this thread with german talk... night all ;)
cc Thanks JohnnyKickAss that was a sphincter tightening round by round you gave.
Yeah, that was frustrating to watch! Chambers made me feel a lot like I felt when watching Dominick Guinn when he first started not letting his hands go.Quote:

Nevermind Cintron-esque request Johnny,Good effort with the RBR.Knowing the result of a main event some how takes the edge off when you have yet to see it the same night Imo :-X
Povetkins better invest in some desire and defense If he wants to stand against Klitschko.
Povetkin looks to have plenty of desire I mean the dude just keeps on throwing, as for the defense thing yeah he better get some or he's going down unless he's got an iron chin and a huge heart.
I got Wlad by mid round stoppageQuote:

"That was a very hard fight," said IBF mandatory title challenger Alaexander Povetkin after his impressive win over previously unbeaten Eddie Chambers on Saturday night in Berlin. "Chambers didn't fight like I expected, but I adjusted well to him." Povetkin also disclosed that his prefight preparation didn't run smoothly. "I caught the flu and had to take antibiotics," he revealed, "next time I will be in better shape." The 2004 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist is now in line to face the winner of the big February 23rd IBF-WBO unification clash between world champions Wladimir Klitschko and Sultan Ibragimov. "I havn't wasted any thought yet on who the opponent will be," commented Povetkin. "Klitschko or Ibragimov - against either it would be an honor. In any case, the preparation will be the toughest of all time."
Notes: Nearly five million tuned in to see the bout on ARD in Germany. The bout was also seen in the USA with HBO offering same day coverage. It was the first non-Klitschko bout in Germany that HBO has covered.

5 million germans. Why does Klit fight in Germany??? Does he have ties there?
That's where he made his start pretty much, he's ukrainian but was based out of germany, might still be.
Wladimir has a huge following there is one reason, being a Universum fighter for the majority of his career is another, but Germany aside from England is THE PLACE for boxing in Europe...Stuttgart, Hamberg, Cologne, Mannhiem, Dortmund, Munich, Hannover...there are big arenas all around Germany and the fans there fill them up.
The fight with Chambers and Povetkin looked to be in a very small venue.....which is a shame but hell as long as I got to watch it I'm ok with it. It was a great fight until Chambers basically gave up....if he worked on his offense he'd be a threat to anyone (bar Klitschko) his defense is that good and his timing on his counters is great not to mention his handspeed is awesome as well....he just didn't have the will to win and that was seemingly all Povetkin had.
I AM NOT IMPRESSED BY POVETKIN....he's going to get his ass whipped if he fights Wladimir next
Ugh, I was really disappointed in Chambers , he either tasted power early and was gun shy or he was gassed out early...either way his output was for shit, it was almost like he was throwing the fight. I think he was just trying to finish the fight and not get k.o.'d. but its a shame after he looked so good early on in the fight....I heard his pops talking about cardio after the fight....that spare tire says it all, he needs endurance.
I thought it was a pretty good fight between the young guns. Chambers is skilled,good defence but seems to lack drive. Povetkin is work man like,has great desire and is tough. I mean he looked gassed around round 5 yet kept plugging away and fights three minutes of every round!That's impressive for a HW imo.
I don't think Chambers and Mcgirt is a good team. When Mcgirt was shouting at him,Chambers looked scared and went downhill from there(round 5 I think). SOme guys respond to shouting and things like that,Eddie certainly doesn't. He is a talented fighter though imo,if he could work on his stamina.
Chambers Sr. seemed to me to be a very good trainer he was calm and relaxed and this would benefit a fighter as long as they followed through with what was asked of them. When Eddie threw he landed cleaner and harder punches but that has to become a bigger part of his game if he wants to continue winning fights.
