Thoughts on Chambers and Povetkin

[-Hyperion-]

Better to wait off on it a while than risk injuring it again. Good to hear you're feeling better man, I was wondering where you disappeared to. (Though I haven't been on that often either.)

Good luck on the bet, Taylor better keep his hands up this time around.

yeah youve been on even less than me :O

JT keeps his hands up and he wins

If you ask me....In a nutshell....Chambers gave it away. It was his for the taking. He showed his skill early and simply **** the bed for reasons unknown. Yes Povetkin got better as the fight went on but was that really him getting better or Chambers simply doing nothing? If Chambers kept slamming his right like he did early on he may have stopped Povetkin late.....especially if this flu like symptoms situation is as legit as it seems.

I think Povetkin's looking good was a direct link to Chambers giving up activity.

Absolutely, the way Eddie was dominating early. The thing is, Povetkin didn't come out looking that great, which he should have after throwing 929 punches. That's a lot of punches for a heavyweight. But because of Eddie's tight defence, an overwhelming majority of them missed and Eddie made Alex look slower than he really is by comparison and was able to catch him easily with crisp, hard shots, thereby "exposing" Alex's defence.

I can't believe my boy Eddie, he came out like I thought and was throwing good punches hard crisp ones and catching Povetkin good. Then fifth round dude was MENTALLY out of it, he KO'd himself psychologically. As an athlete myself I can relate to failing mentally at a big show but man Eddie had it for the taking. Povetkin wasn't special, he won't be much of a force with the division. But who loses in reality?? I think it's the heavyweight division cuz Chambers has the talent to do some real work in the division. Povetkin will get taken out by Wlad no question, in under 20 fights Povetkin's career is pretty much summed up.
