Yea I do too, he frustrates Arreola and wins a UD. Might even put Arreola down cuz I kno Chambers would come in fierce for revenge for what Arreola did to Witherspoon. Nobody is in Arreola's corner in the American Heavyweight scene. All the southern heavies hate him like: Travis Walker, Alonzo Butler, David Rodriguez, and Donnell Holmes. Then damn the east coast heavies hate, I mean HATE this guy. Jason Estrada, Chazz Witherspoon, Kevin Johnson, Eddie Chambers, and Malik Scott. They all callin him out and Estrada sent him a letter talkin bunch of stuff. Chambers, Johnson an a Walker rematch are the only fights I see givin Arreola trouble the rest of these guy's callin him out are just dudes blowin smoke.
They are scared and need to team up on him using comradery as a tool of leverage (power in numbers). They are shook from the east to the west thinking that Arreola just might be the bestComment

What did I say about being an *******? I saw his fight against Gomez, Vitali was being ****** with his hands low then throwing an underneath jab. He gets himself open to right hand counters when he does that. It may work on unskilled fighters like Gomez and Peter, but not someone skilled like Chambers. He's better than you think, Chambers would of beaten Gomez too. I would favor Vitali over Chambers, but not by much, and I wouldn't rule out a possible victory either.
Vitali is not unbeatable, unlike his brother Wlad. Now I would favor Wlad over anyone right now.Last edited by Boxingwizard; 04-13-2009, 02:39 AM.Comment

Since this thread is about Arreola/Chambers, we'll keep the focus on there. Not Chambers and the Klits. Arreola is slow, out of position all the time, no head movement, and did I say slow? Chambers' flaws are, he is fat, forgets that it takes more than 3 punches a round to win fights, and he refuses to listen to his corner during a fight. All of these flaws are basically inexcuseable by either man. Cristobal throws in combinations and works the body while in close, and Eddie is a defensive master with with great speed and throws straight shots. Arreola is exactly the syle that Chambers looks great against. Think Chambers/Rossy on this one, but Arreola with more power. Eddie needs to run a few more miles and actually listen to his corner if he is going to be more than a titlist in this division. If Arreola ever comes into a fight trully in shape (and Im talking 225 to 230lbs) then his handspeed will greatly improve as will his footwork. Someone suggested that Chambers needed Mayweather Sr. in his corner. I disagree, Mayweather doesn't teach aggression like what Eddie needs. Its Arreola who would benefit immensely from FLoyd Sr. Sr. makes his charges run and hustle during training camp (something well all know Arreola needs) plus the subtle hand movements he teaches his fighters plus (and this is ***ing important to Arreola) he makes you use head movement. If Arreola is ever going to be a titlist at the minimum or anything more, he will need head movement and about 30 less pounds. Otherwise, he will just be fun to watch until he eventually gets destroyedComment

What kind of trainer you suggest for Chambers then? He did recently change trainers btw.Comment

I think Chambers would pick Arreola apart with his jab really and his defense would be able to block most of Arreola's shots, the problem for Chambers is his workrate, he goes into his shell too much for my liking and he could just get outworked by Arreola, anyways, Chambers UD if it happens.Comment

Chambers is being seriously written off in this thread.
I understand a lot of people think he needs to be more aggressive ; he does. He tends to go into a shell for too long at times.
But the kid has the fastest hands at HW right now, and his defensive work is phenomenal. With the proper aggressive mindset, he could really make some noise.
He was embarassing Povetkin early in that fight with counters until he decided to be lazy and go into his shell. And when he did that, Povetkin worked him over like a cheap whore.
Eddie just needs to learn to let his hands go more.
And LOL@ The people saying Eddie is fat. Granted he's soft, but he's nowhere near as fat as the "top" guys like Peter, Arreola, Valuev, etc.....Comment
