Klitschko-Chambers this weekend, anyone else excited?

[HattonTheHammer]

This isn't a fight I am all that interested in. As usual I will be pulling for the tubby short underdog and as per usual he will probably lose. But I'm not really bothered either way.

Its such a shame really, adamek-arreola = interesting, haye-ruiz = interesting

Its not eddies fault that the guy he is fighting is just too good for him. Wlad should be designated to a select few fighters ala:haye, povetkin and possibly adamek somewhere down the line

Vitali may as well just retire. He aint ever getting beat by anything around at the moment and all barring a haye overhand right its pretty much a done deal he`ll be retiring with just the 2 on his loss record

Adamek-Arreola should be a fun fight. I'm less interested in Ruiz- Haye because of Ruiz but also Haye's awful Valuev showing.

I would much rather see Haye and Povetkin get the slot next time out. I'm not so sure about Adamek yet, but hopefully he will do well against Arreola and indicate that he can do more.

And why on earth are we still seeing John Ruiz in big fights? The fact that this chump is still around tells you everything about the heavyweight division in the 21st century.

Yeah I don't know how he swings it. I don't even know who his promoter is, but that guy has to be one of the best in the business. From 2000-2010 he has fought for major titles every year except 2007 and 2009, when you factor in 5 losses, a draw and a NC (which was originally a loss) in that time, you realize the power of the pen.

the valuev fight was never gonna be anything more than ugly

Neither guy was ever knocking either man out. The rare moments valuev actually let his hands go he felt the power and went back on the defence.

Wont be the same with ruiz. He`ll get in hayes face the whole time and try to make a fight out of it. Haye will inevitably begin to drop his hands and thats when the fun will start to begin.

Not really interested at all, it's going to be a dull 12 round snoozer with Chambers unable to make any impact and just covering up and looking to survive.

I anticipate a rerun of Vitali's fight with Kevin Johnson, although Chambers may run a little more and back up to the ropes a little less.

Anyway, after about 3 rounds, Wlad will have completely nullified any offensive output from Chambers, who like most good defensive boxers will see it as a moral victory to not get hit and much like Ishe Smith he will just allow himself to be outworked on the way to losing a decision but will take comfort from that fact he was not in any trouble at any time.

No knockdowns, no exciting moments, no fighter hurt at any time, just 12 rounds of Wlad jabbing, Chambers moving and covering up.

The final bell will act as the alarm for the fans to wake up.

[Spicoli]

Actually in a "hey shes breathing and willing,yeh I'd do her " sort of way.....I'm looking forward to this.Think Chambers may frustrate the hell out of him for a few minutes.

I'd be more excited if it was on TV but the NCAA basketball tournament and the fight being in Germany made that impossible.

I think Eddie Chambers is very well prepared for Wladimir but I figure he'll clam up and the fight will end in 3-5 rounds. Wlad fights tall (unlike Dimitrenko), Wlad throws straight punches (unlike Peter), and Wlad doesn't lose rounds or leave himself open to counter (unlike Povetkin).

Eddie Chambers isn't like Chris Byrd...Eddie BLOCKS punches, Chris would make guys MISS and that is the difference, not that Wlad had much trouble with Byrd either time. Wlad will outmuscle Eddie Chambers and I think because Eddie basically has 1 semi-dangerous punch (the left...it's quick, straight, and has pop) and he's apparently going to try and pressure Wladimir...I just think Chambers' plan (if that is his plan) and his skill set don't pair very well vs what Wlad brings to the ring.

When the 1st cross lands Chambers will go down and I think it'll only be a matter of time after that. There WILL be a KO, you can bet on that. Chambers isn't mobile enough or slick enough to avoid Wlad's punches and when nothing is coming back, Wlad will load up.

[CFH]

I don't see any way this fight is even competitive. As I'm sure others have said, as soon as Chambers gets a taste of Klitschko's power and realizes that he can't put a dent in the champion, he's going to stop taking chances and fight defensively in order to survive as long as possible.

That's not the reason the arrogant Ross Greenburg gave to the press. Vlad still has the soft chin and the hard hands so his fights always have a chance to be very exciting.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see it though-it's on tape delay at 10 am because of the time difference here in the Philippines.

[Kel]

Good round. Can't believe he picked him up like that lol

[Kel]

OMG hahahahaha...........
