Povetkin-Chambers Set For Jan. 26 on HBO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The finals of the IBF elimination tourney is set. Alexander Povetkin (14-0, 11 KOs) and Eddie Chambers (30-0, 16 KOs) will collide on Jan. 26 in Berlin. The winner will become the mandatory challenger to champion Wladimir Klitschko. HBO will televise the fight on their "Boxing After Dark" series on same-day tape delay, giving many American fans their first look at Povetkin, regarded by some as the brightest heavyweight prospect in the division.

So it will be the young fat boxer vs. the young fat puncher. I'm hoping the puncher will win, but I'd like to see him shed all that extra mass.

Don't they have Klitschko under contract?

[BiggyGuns91]

i believe they do, wlad wanted to fight this year one more time but HBO had spent their budget

hopefully chambers can throw more punches if he does it will be a good fight.

Eddie Chambers vs. Alexander Povetkin

Jan. 26th in Berlin is the date for the fight with HBO televising it so it will be shown in the US. Chambers won't have anyone cheering him on but hopefully he'll have a big crowd welcoming him home.

It's on HBO? Great news.

Povetkin TKO late rounds.

Be interesting to see if Povetkin can get through Eddie "Winky" Chambers' defence.

It's time to do some betting, I got Povetkin by late KO/TKO. I'm happy the fight is on HBO, this will get Povetkin some American exposure.
