Dimitrenko vs Chambers

[ACHlLLES]

Make this fight happen, and winner gets a shot at Povetkin. Sound fair enough?

[Ben_London.]

This is one of many interesting heavyweight fights that can be made, if the promoters are willing to do it.

There is a lot of talent in the division, but excellent matchups like this one are too rarely being made.

[ACHlLLES]

Should happen, both fighters have things that could give them problems. Chambers defense could give Dimtrenko problems, and Dimtrenko's long ass arms could give Chambers problems.

I've seen videos of Dimitrenko and honeslty I'm not to much impressed with his skills, I think he is lucky has has long arms because that is what causes alot of his opponents to have problems with him. I personally think Povetkin has more skills then Dimitrenko.

Dimitrenko by some form of decision, close fight though.

What are Dimitrenko's keys to victory against Chambers? Constant pressure and his long jabs? And what are Chambers Keys to victory? His defense and movement trying to avoid the jab and looking for countering opportunities?

Chambers would give the Ukranian a boxing lesson. Taking out a shopworn fighter in Krasniqi doesn't prove anything.

I think so too in some ways, and I think Dimitrenko has more proving to do before calling out Povetkin. Povetkin has fought only 17 fights and has beaten the better competition in Chambers, Byrd, and Estrada. What did Dimitrenko do to deserve a shot at Povetkin?

What did Dimitrenko do to deserve a shot at Povetkin?

But what did Povetkin do in 17 fights to make people hold him in such high regards? If he was the champion then that statement makes sense. But Povetkin doesn't have a belt and is just another contender just like Chambers or Dimitrenko with Just a little higher ranking.

So this big 3 fight deal that Klitschko made Haye sign, doesn't look like Povetkin is gonna get his shot anytime soon. So why not make make the contenders fight each other? WBO has Dimitrenko number 1 and IBF has Povetkin number 1. If Klitschko is tied up at the moment, it only makes sense if the 2 mandatories fight each other to see who fights for the title.
That way we don't have to sit thru Klitschko beating Haye, Arreola, Povetkin and Dimitrenko.

So this big 3 fight deal that Klitschko made Haye sign, doesn't look like Povetkin is gonna get his shot anytime soon.

If Wladimir wins, there will be only one fight with Haye, and there's an 80-90% chance of that happening.

So Wlad will likely face Povetkin in September.

But I agree, I would like to see fights like Arreola-Dimitrenko, Chambers-Dimitrenko or Povetkin-Arreola.

I'll go with Chambers because he doesn't cry to the referee when in trouble in a fight
