    I got Chambers to win this one. You can stick a fork in Peter, he's done. Chamber's defense and countering ability will give him fits, not to mention the edge in handspeed Eddie has.

    But it wouldn't surprise me if Eddie pwned Samuel early, and then went into a shell and let Peter work him over like a cheap slut, ala Povetkin, either.

      Wow... You really betting all your points that Gomez beats Vitali... I admire that but you should've taken odds on it.

        I hope Chambers will come in in shape this time, he has all the tools to beat Peter. It's a very important fight for Chambers, I hope he understands that.

                In that Povetkin fight, Chambers looked lackadaisical and somewhat spooked IMO. I don't know if it had anything to do with Povetkin being better because Eddie was not even throwing many punches. It looks like he was mailing it in, i.e, taking a dive.

                  His workrate is a problem, but if he could keep a good pace for 12 rounds, he'll be fine. And mentally he has to want to win the fight. I remember in the Povetkin fight his dad was yelling in his ear after round 8 to do something, but the next round he didn't. To me that says he was mailing it in.
