Weak chin? He got hit numerous times, especially towards the end of the fight when he covered up most of time, did you see him hurt?
You're right. Chambers has a good enough chin. That doesn't mean he wants to get hit. In that fight he showed he wasn't willing to gamble on his power against Povetkin's.
I have seen 3 previous chambers fights and he does the same in all his fights he seems to take his foot of the gas in the middle rounds it wasn’t povetkin's punches that stopped him throwing.
One thing that i found odd was that chambers had possibly won 4 of the first 5 rounds and had swollen povetkins eye all he had to do was snap his very good jab onto povetkins left eye and it would have closed.
Imo chambers is a better skilled boxer and if he can weight in at about 205-210lb and sort out his punch output problem he could be a very good contender but povetkin proved that he is a better fighter because he throws punches.
