Eddie Chambers vs. Sam Peter

[!!Captain]

I think Chambers takes it, Peter was never that good, he lost to every top 10 fighter he fought and should have lost to McCline, if not for his friend Don King. He'll be chasing Chambers for 4-5 rounds, tire, and lose by UD. That's, of course, if Chambers manages his weight and will be able to fight for 12 rounds.

I think Vitali beat all the fight right out of Sam. Chambers is smart and he'll make Peter play into his hand. This match may resemble the Byrd-Tua fight.

I'd like to see Chambers take this but he can't afford to **** around like he did in the Povetkin fight. He can no doubt beat Peter to the punch so he needs to let those hands go.

[The Hammer]

Because Vitali fought tall and kept stepping back, Peter couldn't land his notorious rabbit punches to the back of the head.

However Chambers will be easier to hit there because of his height. His Winky Wright style "ear-muffs" defense will soon have Peter frustrated, and he will aggressively go for the unprotected back of Chambers' head.

So Peter may KO Chambers with a rabbit punch, like he did to Taurus Sykes.

A little off topic, but I heard while Chambers was undefeated he was offered to fight Arreola but neither of them accepted because it wasn't for enough money. I'm wondering how was their more money involved for a Povetkin fight?

- Chambers fight with Povetkin was televised on HBO in the US and ARD in Europe
- It was co-promoted by Sauerland, they are able to pay very well because the German arenas sell out for big fights and because of ARD
- his fight with Povetkin was a final eliminator for a world title shot

So of course Chambers was paid more than he would have been fighting Arreola!

I wish I was surprised to see a Peters decision win vote being cast by myself being the first, but I'm not. Everyone here type casts fighters irrationally. Here is how this fight would actually go: Chambers is going to stand there and catch punches for 10 rounds. He won't throw back enough to win very many rounds and he also won't give Peter enough to get stopped. There will be a lot of Peter getting frustrated and he'll lose a point or two, but it won't have mattered because Chambers would have handed him almost every round. It'll be like the Povetkin find except a little more wild and Chambers will be even more scared for it.
