Povetkin-Chambers: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[kayjay]

Many people aren't aware that Chambers is a huge fan of Family Guy.

Another thing about Eddie is that his nickname "Fast Eddie" is to locals a clear reference to former Philly mayor and PA governor Ed Rendel.

What did the fighters weigh in at?...

227 for AP, 215 for EC

All "Fast" Eddie references come from the Hustler.

touche Cliff, though when Eddie first came up "Fast Eddie" was mayor and so that was the contemporary reference. Thanks for the reminder/correction though

That movie rules and I think Paul Newman might have been the coolest cat ever walked Earth so I wouldn't miss that one.

Also that oddsmakers aren't trying to gauge the fighter's true chances of winning. Their goal is to encourage two sided betting.

depends

Hillary Clinton is -500 1/2 to win the presidency

***** and McCain are like 2-1 +1000 (I think, ***** is) this was last week I'm assuming it hasn't changed though

it's real money that moves odds which is why I like to look at them

I'm going to be rooting for Chambers. The dude can fight. It's too bad Cruiserweight is an abyss between 175 and Heavyweight otherwise Chambers would be a beast at Cruiserweight.

Kayjay, are you gonna be rooting for the Phili fighter to win?...

I haven't seen Povetkin fight since the Olympics, but I've been following his career on Boxrec. I'm pretty sure if anyone is going to clean up the Heavyweight division it'll probably be him. That said, I like Chambers' style and in the short term he's the guy I want to see do well out of these two.

Either way though, a good fight will be good for both fighters and the division as a whole.

Well I was speaking specifically about sports odds. I've never bet on politics. I did notice of my betting site that non candidate Al Gore was lower odds than any ********** except McCain. Now that's crazy!
