Eddie Chambers Plans To Impress Smoking Sam Peter

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Maybe it’s the non-descript body type.

Or the non-threatening nickname.

Or perhaps the non-menacing personality.

But whatever the reason for a decided lack of respect when compared to seemingly less-accomplished colleagues in the heavyweight division’s upper tier, it’s beginning to get on Eddie Chambers’ nerves… if only intermittently.

“There’s no question, I don’t get respect,” said the affable 26-year-old Pennsylvanian, just 16 days away from a March 27 match with recently deposed WBC champion – and surely more frighteningly labeled – Samuel “Nigerian Nightmare” Peter.

“But I don’t want to be that guy, saying ‘I get no respect’ all the time. I don’t care all that much. I like to be the guy sneaking in the shadows and playing the underdog, and, when I get the chance that I have coming up, all I have to do is show that I belong.” [details]

If he defeats Peter, Chambers will receive plenty of respect.

Chambers can be fighting at cruiserweight.

as long as eddie keeps his dad out of the corner he could get a ud imo!

Chambers can be fighting at cruiserweight.

And Peter could be fighting at 225.

IMO Chambers fights bigger than he is, he is smart, measures distance and can jab with a larger man.

Peter fights smaller than he is. Limited mobility and range, overrated power, jabs selectively. No idea when is inside or outside punching distance.

I think Chambers will win every round he doesen't get hurt or knocked down in. If Peter cannot KO him he will not win the fight on the cards.

You could say that Peter doesn't really use his size to his maximum advantage, unlike Chambers who does.

Chambers can't go into his shell in this fight like he did against Povetkin, he just stopped throwing punches in that fight, if he does it again in this fight, he will lose again.

I don't see Peter as a guy who turns up the temperature as the fight goes on the way Povetkin does. Peter strategy is to follow guys around, wasting punches, hoping he hurts them with one. Chambers is clever and will make him miss. Peter doesen't have the discipline or skill to work the body and open up a chance upstairs.

I'm sure he can do it. peter is basically a journeyman now imo. He lost all credibility wit that **** performance against VK.

No, he isn't. But if Chambers goes into his shell, Peter will outwork him, maybe not in the manner that Povetkin did but he'll outwork him nonetheless and Peter's shots are flashier and create more impact which could and probably would sway the judges in giving him close rounds.

I don't disagree, Chambers did pull a real Dominic Guinn against Povetkin.

That being said I believe Chambers will the fight quite easily and I will bet on it. Hopefully he will be a solid 3-1 underdog.
