Klitschko-Chambers this weekend, anyone else excited?

[Kev]

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.

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.

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.

Watching Wladimir Klitschko fights has become sort of like over-drinking for me. I know it's bad for me... and I suffer from a huge hangover the day after... and I swear I'll never do it again as long as I live... BUT...

... next time there's a party I go back and do it all over again.

[killersheep]

Anyone watching this? Mahone's corner threw the towel directly to the ref lol

[Kel]

That stoppage was fucking pathetic. The Sprott fight I mean.

Maybe a little quick but the guy in truth shouldn't of been in there as soon as he took the first shot he looked out of his depth, shocking undercard this.

[Saddo]

here we go... something about michael buffer he really sets the atmosphere

[Kel]

I hope this makes up for it. Good luck Chambers, crack that chin.
