    Eddie Chambers

    I really like this guy. He is a fantastic boxer. I know Derric Rossy isn't exactly a world beater, but Chambers still showed some fantastic skills. Very articulate, nice guy, and very intelligent in the ring. Obviously there is worry about his size, but Chris Byrd had success, and Chambers looks to potentially be on the level of Byrd. I can't wait to see him again. It would be great to see him in a test against a top ten guy.

    Hes wasting his time at heavy imo. He should just go down to cruiser and do his thing there. He has fast hands for a guy his size.

      He has great hand speed. He reminds me of Eddie Gregory in his prime. Very cagey and disciplined (composed). I like him so much I wrote an essay about the fight. Classiv hometown hero vs. veteran villain.

        He should go down to cruser, you have to be pretty big at least weightwise to compete with todays top HWs

          He does look like he has some skill.But....he also looks flabby,perhaps he needs to train differently.He wants to be a heavyweight because thats where the money is...but he really should be a cruiserweight.

          I don't see a happy ending as a heavy....

            his speed will kill alot of heavyweights and he has more power then bryd, if he could use his legs more he can beat anybody.. but the guy he fought was 6'3 254 and was fast

              my complete sentiments.
              you could see he was outclassing rossy from the getgo. and he easily handled some big power punches.cant tell for sure about rossys beard but it appeared fast eddie was making him see stars.
              this guy could rule at cruiser.
              at lightweight he'd be built like a racehorse.

                  I think you could be a master boxer at heavyweight, but at 6'1 and a flabby 220, you wont survive. The big guys will wear him down, as we saw with Toney.

                  Ill say it again though, his speed was impressive.

                    Yeah, i liked this guy alot, he was in a guy that he should've beaten to be sure, but i thought he did so very convincingly and showed all of his skills, the guy did give him a tricky style in a way. But I dont see him fairing to well against the top big guys, i think hed have a lot of trouble. It would be interesting to see what he could do against a guy like briggs i guess, with his non existent stamina, but against a Klitschko I dont see him lasting too many rounds.
