Great fighter though.
As for Eddy, skillful as hell but too small and that's not good when you lack power.
Wlad will look like **** but win.
Eddie is gonna beat him. I'm willing to bet 500K come fight night.

I am pretty sure Eddie is only 5'11 by the way, Wlad looks a lot more than 5 inches taller than him.
But on topic, Eddie has very good skills, and he does have power if he catches you cold, but still...
If Eddie had KO power I would give him a good chance, he is much quicker than most of the lumbering oafs in the H/W division.

But he can't make the mistake of moving backwards or letting Wlad pressure him. Wlad is and fights too tall to counter him going backward. Chambers is better, but all Ibragimov could do was a straight left to the body.
And even if you make Wlad miss, he'll just hold on to avoid counters for the entire night (and not get warned even). Eddie needs to pressure him at angles, figure a way not to get clinched, and find a way past Wlad's stretched out left arm (preferably the left hook since the ref never warns him for it either).

It's going to be difficult for Eddie to find a balance, because he has to be active enough that Klitschko doesn't get that rythm going, once he does it's hard to throw him off it. But I don't know, i just have a feeling....
I'm looking forward to this fight.

Eddie's gonna get beat up. It's like mayweather- hatton or paqcuiao- cotto, people were trying to come up with all sorts of miraculous scenarios where underdog would win the match, but in the end the underdog got beat into retirement.

Chambers showed me a couple things against Dimitrenko that will work against Wlad. Dimitrenko doesn't fight too similarly to Wlad, but other than have the dimensions of Kilt, he uses some of the same tactics.
The first one is Wlad leaves his left hand stretched out when he isn't jabbing to keep his opponent at bay. Dimitrenko did the same and Eddie would hit AD's glove with a left hook, which made him not want to do it anymore. That's an old school move right there.
The second is the way Chambers would power himself out of a clinch. But it wasn't typical clinches, Dimitrenko was using Klitschko type of clinches where they put all there on top of their opponent. It prevents counters and in the long run tires them out. Eddie was still going strong in the 12th.
These are 2 of the main tactics in Wlad's arsenal that he will no longer be able to use and Wlad does not feel comfortable unless he's able to use them. Eddie has supposedly sparred with Wlad before, so I think he's being overlooked.
