Ring physician Dr. Stephen Bock (Duisburg): "He's not breathing, was available again after five minutes. His team feared a spinal injury, prevented me at first even for the immediate actions. I said: 'We must revive him. That comes first '. "
After 20 seconds the breathing set up by itself"
"At 2.15 clock he was taken with a severe concussion, swelling and cut on the eyelid to the university clinic, was given after MRI examination a flight ban issued"
Klitschko coach Emanuel Stewart "It was one of the hardest knockouts that I have ever seen."
So he was unresponsive for 5 minutes, stopped breathing for 20 seconds and still doesn't remember the last round at all and has a severe concussion.
That shit sounds pretty bad, hope he makes a quick and full recovery. I wonder if he'll have mental/confidence issues after this. He should definitely take a couple warm up fights vs lesser comp & not big punchers to build himself up again. CW might be a good idea too imo.
i was afraid this was gonna happen eddie chambers really needs to be a cruiser weight. He is in the 200 215 lbs range someone that size wont stand a chance against wlad or his brother who are both solid 250.
Too bad... I hope that he recovers soon and comes back very healthy.
I think Steward is responsible for pushing Wlad to KO Eddie. I think Wlad should have just let Chambers go home safe.
No, he had to keep his KO percentage up! It was nobodys fault the punch coust su much damage, anybody knows if everything is alright with Eddie again? Hopfeully, i think he should go to Cruiser, he maybe could rule the division but the problem is he cant make as much money as in the heavyweights.
I could do the same to a guy I outweigh by 50 pounds, nothing special here
Mayweather couldn't despite outweighing his opponent by the same percentage.....
i'm not sure of what happened in hospital...but for those who are concerned about his health, i messaged eddie today and he responded saying he was fine and relaxing.
Good to know. Best wishes to him.
I think the story is true but the way they say it the chain of events are wrong.
The story gives the impression that he was unconcious at the hosptial when he was unconcious in the ring after the ko, then revived quickly, woke up after five minutes. etc.
Then you see the interview which I imagine was done before he went to the hospital.
He was conscious at the hospital but the doctors checked him out and he had a concussion.
I don't think he stopped breathing at the hospital. I think it was for a few seconds after the ko.

"Wladimir is the hardest puncher I have seen in the last 30 years." -- George Foreman
I read that too. I'm assuming he would mean since Shavers. Quite the compliment.
I don't get it. I saw an interview with Chambers the night of the fight or the next day......posted on this site and he was saying he was fine and that he hoped to get another title shot in the future after rebuilding and replanning. The interviewer asked if he was ok and he was adamate that he was fine and said he would be back.
If he indeed went to the hospital for a sustained period of time and is hurt, I hope he recovers well. Seems a bit odd to me though considering the video I saw though.
Not making this up........here is the video:

I would have said this is b.s. but I seen an interview with Chambers himself where he says he doesn't even remember the knockout, so it must have given him a brutal concussion that much is true
Sometimes you get a little bit skeptical with that short hook because the punches before that last one was way more harder to look and Chambers walked through them. Hope he's Ok though.
That what happens when he puts power behind his shots. He doesnt even follow through with most of his right hands that put people to sleep, he has dangerous power if he'd use it.
Simple really. He has a granite chin. The KO punch was a perfectly placed, very fast and very hard shot to the temple.
It's the kind of shot that would've knocked out almost every heavyweight in history, save Muhammad Ali.
I thought Chambers never had a good chin. Before he fought Klitschko he was never seriously hurt, and a lot of it had to do with his defense. But he proved his chin was solid when he fought Wladimir, not the best, but pretty good especially for a small heavyweight.
