    Eddie Chamber makes the front page!

    Eddie Chambers made the front page of Philadelphia Daily News:

    As far as I know, it's been a while since a boxer was the cover story of a major newspaper in the US.

    Tunney disses Froch, and Hypes Chambers... on the same day even.


    It's official, his account has been hi-jacked.

      Many Pacquiao made it for the Hatton KO, and the De La Hoya TKO.

        Yes, something is rather strange.

            I dunno. How good was the win in reality? I haven't watched the fight yet, but I know he did very well and cut his weight down. I guess you could say he'd have beaten Peter more convincingly if he'd been 209lbs in that fight. It's all speculation though. Ok, he's fast and accurate. But how can he hang with the Klitschkos? He's short and lacks power. He'll be eating a lot of leather if he ever fights one of them. Fast combos and what have you is all well and good, but against those two you either need a sledgehammer jab or speed and power, and preferably be tall with a good reach.

            Good luck to him, though.

              Exactly. He beat Dimitrenko who hasn't beaten anyone who's really good.

                He's better than Juan Carlos Gomez, who last time I checked, you gave a legit shot at beating Vitali. Of course Gomez was shut out and KO'd so easily that I cannot imagine Chambers doing any worse.

                Chambers outjabbed Dimitrebko, the 6'7 giant, almost the entire fight. The win was much more impressive than you are giving credit for.

                  I think he is hyping him up, so if he ever faces Klitschko, and will most likely lose, it will be a "Big win"

                  That's my take

                    I really like Eddie Chambers but he is just too small for Heavyweight.

                    I hope he puts up a very valiant effort in his title shot against Klitschko, and then moves down to Cruiserweight and becomes a star down there
