World Boxing News - WBN Video: Team Fury sign ‘Fast’ Eddie Chambers
Hes going back to heavyweight as well, how do u think Chambers will do under team Fury?
Sparring with Hughie and Tyson will prepare him much better than anywhere else for dealing with super sized heavies and he does actually rate Peter as good task master fot fitness. If he didn't, he wouldn't be there. It will benefit all of them.Quote:

Not very well, he can't have many places to go though. He's occasionally been a solid fighter, but he can't hang with decent big HW's anymore and wont help Tyson with that either. Is this more of a training/sparring partner arrangement, does Team Fury have any other notable guys?
Watch the videos.Quote:

Can't watch the video right now, will later. As I said Chambers was a good fighter despite always having fitness problems, but I thought that was one of Wlads lesser performances as well, he was so timid for most it. He probably could have gotten Chambers out of there a lot earlier if he was actually putting things together. Got the KO as soon as Emanuel Steward got on his ass about it though.
Fury getting good quality sparring will help him.
That has everything to do with Eddie not being afraid to get in range and actually throw punches. He has quick hands and nice combinations and he wasn't scared to get close. Even lifted Wlad up in the air like a rag doll and slammed him in the deck;DQuote:

I think this is him on the right. Hes stood next to the original Hughie who is 6,6" so id say 6,3"?Quote:

Team Fury don't have any notable fighters apart from Tyson and Hughie so its an interesting move. I think Peter Fury's getting quite a good rep, it will be interesting to see if they all do the same shows / training camps and whether Peter Fury will train Chambers. I think for both the Fury's and Chambers the move makes sense in terms of preparation for fights, following the Haye camp I seem to remember Eddie saying how he wished he's sparred more with big heavyweights of good ability whilst the Fury's seemed to like honing their skills against a smaller, faster type fighter.Quote:

Glad he got a contract though and it'll def result in a decent oppurtunity.
Cool thanks. I tend to wonder how much it really helps to spar with guys who are nowhere near your size, or the size of the guy you'll be fighting next. If Fury seriously wants to prepare himself for a chance to be great he should be sparring huge guys who can really punch, not someone who lacks power at 200 pounds. He's never going to be as fast and mobile as a Chambers or Cunningham, and it's not as simple as saying if he can avoid their punches he'll have better defence against bigger slower men, all the mechanics are different.Quote:

In the second comparison pic Chambers says he joined the camp at 195lbs and after 3 weeks was 225lb just from eating a more healthy diet rather than the shit veggy diet he concocted himself to drop down to cruiser.

They were too fast for him. He actually started at CW... he was a blown up HW. But, he has been at HW for too long- and he can't just go down in weight to face guys that are faster, more comfortable at the weight in addition to the pace of the fight.Quote:

Moses is a piss poor boxer who novices use to gain rounds, however Im quite impressed he KO'd him because the one and only trait he has in abundance is durability.Quote:

At least Moses is regarded as durable. Eddie is a real handfull now hes with a proper team.
Yeah Lewinson was suffered an injury and about 14 / 15 opponents turned down the chance. I heard Team Fury are trying to get David Price or Chagev as Eddie's next opponent.Quote:
