      These are two of my favorite fighters today, both with drastically different styles. Povetkin fights similarly to Derrick Rossy which is in Chambers' favor. But Povetkin is far more measured than Rossy and stronger. Sasha has fought two crafty defensive boxers in Larry Donald and more recently Chris Byrd and he dominated them both. It will come down to Chambers' punch output, or lack there of. I don't think Povetkins stops Eddie, but a UD for his work ethic and beautiful combos. Chambers will assert himself as the premier defensive heavyweight in this fight, but will need to develop his offense a bit more to be considered a top echelon heavyweight. Can't wait until this fight.

        Finally two young heavyweights in a bout! Povetkin must show something more inthis bout (he's got a decent career but Chambers is his first real test) while we all know Chambers has met good opponents.

        I pick Povetkin by MD but I believe even in CHambers. Can't wait for this fight.

          I think you're confused.

              Yeah im going to have to agree with Boxing2005, you're confused here. ANd as for Povetkin hasn't looked good against his opposition. Friday Ahunanaya Just destroyed Shane Cameron in a very entertaining bout, Povetkin put on a clinic against him and there wasn't a second Friday was in the fight. The Chris Byrd fight was a studied breakdown of Byrd where Povetkin broke him down with combos. I didn't think it should've been stopped, but I wasn't in Chris' corner so who am I to question.

                I would like to see this fight. Though neither stands a chance against Wlad.

                  Wladdy Owns, when i'm richer after December 8th I'll Pm you about Chambers Povetkin and with some good odds maybe Sultan.
