    I had it even 3-3 when I watched it. Brock is a very awkward fighter, his style is not easy to cope with. Wlad said that after the fight as well.

    As for Povetkin letting his hands go on the inside. When he did that with Byrd and Byrd actually counter punched him, he landed just about every shot he threw. He only did it a few times in the fight but landed every time. I'm not saying that Brock is as fast as Byrd but I have an impression that he will be pretty effective with the counter punching and will land.

    But I guess we'll never know until we watch the fight.

      There needs to be some new blood in the division and what better way then getting rid of a C class fighter in Brock. I don't know how some of you guy's want Brock winning when Chambers is everything the division needs, even though he probably won't beat Wlad. But he's a good solid heavyweight who turned pro at age 18 and even won a amateur title, in other words he's a boxer that was brought up the right way and has real skills compared to the other top 10 heavyweights, the only downside is that he's not a natural heavyweight.

          Brock gave Wlad trouble for a few rounds until Wlad figured him out.

          I think Brock has a better chance of beating Wlad in a rematch than Povetkin/Chambers beating Wlad.

            Brock,Povetkin and Chambers all have zero chance of beating Wlad. Wlad could probably KO all 3 of them on the same night.

              Something is telling me Chambers outboxes Brock and wins by UD......Brock looks awfully lazy in some of his fights but his power usually pulls him thru....not this time.Chambers is hard to hit and a slick boxer......

                I want Brock to win so he can fight Povetkin...and then i hope Povetkin beats him so we can have a fresh fight for Wlad...i think Brock would beat Povetkin though...

                  I feel as though Chambers is the more skilled of the two, but he is an undersized HW and this is his main problem. I've seen his last 2 fights, and was impressed by what I saw. I don't consider him a boring fighter, he's very active, even if he doesn't have 1-punch KO power against the bigger men he fights. I find this fight a bit tough to call, as I believe Chambers to be the better boxer, yet Brock isn't bad himself, and has the size and power to perhaps eqaulize it. I also feel that Chambers has not had a chance to show his true potential, and for this reason he's a bit of a ? imo.

                  Still, I'm taking skills over size in this one. I got Chambers by UD.


                  As for the Brock-Wlad. fight, my feeling on this was that while Brock looked ok (though not particularly good) while it lasted, he basically stood right in front of Wlad. the whole fight. For this reason, it was a matter of time before he was KO'd. You can't stand right in front of Wlad. and expect not to be knocked out.

                    I agree with you but I still have to see some of Chambers fights, most of the guys Brock has beaten werent skillfull fighters, Jameel Mccline is probably the closest but Mccline did knock him down. I think like you said someone with skills will give Brock problems and just might be able to beat him
