      Not a fight Wlad should take lightly. Chambers has a very good defense, and is a crisp, sharp counterpuncher, with surprising handspeed. He beat Dimitrenko with ease and is taking his training a lot more seriously these days since he gassed out against Povetkin. Nice to see it come off.

        Looking forward to this fight. As others were saying it will be interesting to see how Wlad deals with someone who actually can move and throw punches with some sense of urgency. Still think Wlad will win this one but it will be a lot more interesting than his last fights have been.

            sure. keep an eye out for my bet prop on this one.

            of coarse will wait to see how much of an underdog the sportsbooks
            makes chambers.

              I just hope the WBO talked to the IBF about lengthening Povetkin's mandatory status.

                I personally think chambers & povetkin are the 2 best opponents right now for wlad.wins over these 2 help his legacy especially over povetkin.both have earned their shots & are solid opponents.Rahman wasn't ready to fight,brewster was off for 15 months & coming off a detached retina,Austin,ibragimov were fringe champions who were decent contenders but limited.povetkin has fought better overall competition from the start of his career but chambers has momentum going right now after wind over peter & dimitrenko although I always thought dimitrenko wasn't proven & peter was fat but still it put him in the enviable position...interesting fights & a chance for wlad to really put a stamp on the division.early knockouts would do him wonders.

                  TC will txt you with specifics, as long as the fight goes through.

                    honestly i dont think Povetkin even wants to fight any of the Klitschko's. i feel hes waiting for someone to take them out and then challenge for the belt lol. i mean hes taken like 4 or 5 fights and has been #1 contender for a really long time

                      I wonder how Povetkin feels about this? I don't know if he's eager to fight Wlad or if he feels likes he's not ready to fight Wlad. Povetkin might as well fight two tune-ups.
