He is gonna get overwhelmed by Povetkin and pummeled into submission...Povetkin will beat Chambers by late TKO.

Overrated, but who knows, maybe he'll shock some of us and pull off the upset against Alexander.

He isn't exciting, but Chambers is a hell of a tough guy to fight. He is very slippery and always seems to take over the second half of the fight. Beating a good prospect like Povetkin in Germany will be quite a challenge though. I think like Byrd, he'll give a good account of himself.

If his career is half as exciting as his name, we're in for one hell of a ride...

Those are my thoughts.

Care to share yours?

I agree with you. It's hard for a boxer espacially a heavyweight to make it on just speed and boxing skills but Chambers does make the most of what he has.

The Povetkin fight will answer alot of questions about Chambers. I think it will be hard for him to win a close decision over there.

If Chambers comes away from Germany losing a close decision his reputation will go up rather than down.

I personally like that style. I like the slicker Heavies... it's a change of pace. And he's nice to watch when he lets his hands go. "Fast".. as some may have predicted.

But honestly.. he isn't a natural HW. Even admitted it himself. He should be at Cruiser. And I think the size thing will catch up to him. A natural, strong HW like Povetkin will get a UD over him.

I actually kinda like him. I hope he goes far! He might need to add some pop though........
