Wlad Vs Chambers

[ryanman]

20th March

What do we reckon? Can Chambers cause Wlad Problems?
I see this being quite a competitive fight.
Lyle, what do you reckon? You rate Chambers don't you?

[OumaFan]

Eddie! Is the Man!

And will lose

[Fenster]

Lyle rates anyone Wlad fights. Chambers will have been a tough test for any fighter in history, especially if Wlad is impressive against him

[The Fightfan]

I like Chambers but I just don't think he has enough pop or slickness to really keep Wlad off of him. Wlad TKO in 8

I haven't seen Eddie since his laydown loss to Povetkin. Unless he's completely retooled and turned that fat into muscle he loses by awful, awful KO.

He was better in his last fight. I'm pretty sure it can be found on the net somewhere.

Well, I don't feel that Eddie will beat Klitschko but I think it should be an interesting boxing match. I say Eddie makes it at least to round 10, if not the whole 12. Ok, so now I'm being optimistic.

[Zilla]

Was that Dimitrenko guy any good? He was around the same size as Klitschko.

Wlad, easy as pie........

[ninjaspy3]

Eddie has 2 main problems:

1 - his punches aren't very powerful

2 - and I think the biggest problem is, he spends time waiting when he could be firing off more punches.


I think if he could turn up the rate of punches thrown, one could almost overlook that the punches may not be that powerful. At least then he could try to keep Wlad busy so that Wlad isn't the one doing all the punching. I really hope his trainers have managed to stress that he needs to punch more.

HAHA...gotta love you bastards


Eddie Chambers is a very interesting fighter, he's prepared himself very well to fight Wladimir, he's fought someone with a quasi-similar frame and style (Dimitrenko) and he's fought someone with good KO power (Sam Peter) and he's also fought probably the best heavyweight not to have a belt at the moment (Povetkin) although he lost that fight.

Now it's time to play GOOD NEWS - BAD NEWS
GOOD NEWS: Eddie has very quick hands -BAD NEWS: in single counter punch shots

GOOD NEWS: Eddie is very talented defensively - BAD NEWS: his offense is nowhere to be found

GOOD NEWS: Eddie has never been down (that I know of) or knocked out - BAD NEWS: He's going to get to do both on the same night

Eddie is a solid fighter but he belongs AT LEAST at cruiserweight if not at 175...at heavyweight Eddie is short and makes up for it by being fat. Eddie's reach is 75"....Wlad's is 81" and Wlad doesn't let guys on the inside and well hell even if he did Eddie doesn't move quick enough to get there and do damage.

[El Kabong]

Was that Dimitrenko guy any good? He was around the same size as Klitschko.

Same size and even had Wlad's former trainer Sdunek but he's SOFT...he let Eddie boss him around that fight. Wlad is a whole nother ball game.

My prediction is Wlad by TKO 7....Eddie is going to eat the jab all night and when Wlad starts landing the 1-2 or the hook then it's going to be pretty rocky for Eddie. Wlad will have to pry open that defense and then it'll just be a matter of how good Eddie's chin is.

As far as adding this win to his legacy...I would put Eddie Chambers (right now) on par with Calvin Brock....he's earned his shot and he's got ability but he's in way over his head litterally and figuratively

Im still trying to get over a guy from London using the word "reckon"..LOL

I dont see this fight going the distance . Unfortunatly I think the boring klits have the heavyweight division by the nads.

Huh? I didn't realise 'reckon' was a non-londonish word. Explain please?

I doubt he'll get KO'ed. Wlad will hurt him, but instead of finishing him, will decide that jabbing him for 12 rounds will be a better option.

I think it will be competitive for first 4, 5, maybe even 6 rounds. Then Wlad's thudding jab will really start putting dents in Chambers, setting him up for a round 10 finish.
