Aiight so the 1st big heavyweight fight of the year is here and I've seen both fighters fight and I've followed Eddie the past three years and it comes down to this.
For Povetkin: Has a lot of things going for him in this fight. Fighting in a home crowd with judges probably favoring him if it comes to decision he has everything he needs to dominate the fight. Good stamina, throws a lot of punches and stays busy opposed to Chambers. His defense is skeptical and he hasn't fought any real credible opponents and that argument could be made on both sides. However Povetkin has never fought 12 rounds in his life, hasn't had many pro fights since stayin in the amateurs so long to win all dem medals and hasn't had many opponents give him much trouble. If he can throw five punches for every two Chamber punches he will win a wide decision.
For Chambers: In a hostile crowd, long ways from north philly and havin a gap between your front teeth all are good reasons why Chambers won't fight to his ability. The guy has the skill and stamina but just doesn't get busy and throw 100 or so punches a round. If he can put those crisp fast combos together more often he can win the fight but if he has the same output as the Guinn and Brock fight he goin back home to Philly empty handed.
Given: Winner gets his azz handed to him. German judges give it to Povetkin if it's close decision. They both are the future of the division. Povetkin needs to hit a tanning salon. Chambers needs to stay off Buddy McGirts diet.
