Povetkin won but not by a wide decision. It was fairly close until Povetkin put on a second gear in the late rounds.

I didnt see it yet and the fight is now ruined, that being said...
This is not accurate? Its the spoiler from *********
Undefeated Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Alexander Povetkin (15-0, 11 KOs) became the mandatory challenger for IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko with an impressive twelve round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten "Fast" Eddie Chambers (30-1, 16 KOs) in a world title eliminator on Saturday at the Tempodrome in Berlin. Povetkin was much busier early and landed the heavier punches, but when he counterpunched, the technically sound Chambers landed some very clean shots. Povetkin picked up the pace as the bout progressed and outworked Chambers by a wide margin in the middle rounds. Chambers had a good round nine. Entering the championship rounds, you could clearly hear Chambers' co-trainer Buddy McGirt usge his fighter "You've got to get him out of there. You've got to dig down deep." It was Povetkin, however, who closed strong, bringing heavy pressure in rounds eleven and twelve to clinch a 117-111, 119-109, 116-112 win.Comment

Maybe it was the sopcast link.
A lot of us thought Chambers was winning up until the 9th. Possibly the poor video. ?Comment

116 - 112 seemed the fairest, there was a little bias, but the winner did win it. However, Germany and Italy are two places to avoid if you are fighting their man. I should have to do no more than mention the name 'Sven Ottke' to illustrate what a real robbery consists of and both the US and GB were victims.
Only the Amatuers, pre the new points scoring were worse, Roy Jones's gold medal was stolen the IOC should retrospectively strip the medal from the Korean and publicly apologise for their shameComment
