Does Eddie Chambers have a shot at Wladimir

[Boxingwizard]

difficult task but possible. Chambers is certainly more skilled and a better boxer than Wlad's last 10 opponents. He blocks and slips punches well, the only way to really land a clean shot on Chambers is to the body, and Wladimir targets the head 95% of the time. Wladimir will have a hard time landing cleanly on Chambers.

The problem with Chambers is the reach advantage. Chambers will have to somehow close the distance because he will just be blocking and slipping if he doesn't.

1.Chambers needs to get past Wlad's jab
2.Chambers needs to be close enough to land his shots

If he does that he's capable of winning.

hopefully chambers or arreola can pull off a win

Arreola chances are very slim because his skills hasn't developed, he's not in shape, and he's just not ready. Vitali vs Arreola will look similar to Vitali vs Gomez. Arreola will look helpless. I don't see Arreola winning unless his skills improve.

I agree with that.

[Matt Marvelous]

Eddie should be fighting Vitali and Fat boy should be fighting Wlad. As it stands now, I don't think either one can beat their opponent.

[Mersey]

Arreola's chance is slim, because he isn't slim. He's a fat bastard.

Chambers is good, but not good enough for Wlad.

Both Klitschko's will win again

[Dan Cohen]

Wlad will kick his ass. I haven't seen Eddie sprawled out on the canvas yet but we all will assuming the fight isn't stopped or he quits first.

Wlad by KO in Rounds 8-10

[HeartAttack]

Wlad's style isn't conducive to Eddie's. Eddie flourishes with come forward fighters. He's able to use his hip movement and countering abilities to use their aggression against them. His speed and intelligence overcomes natural aggression. There is nothing aggressive about Wladimir. I don't Wlad necessarily dominates him, but I don't see Chambers winning either. A rather boring UD for Wlad is this one in what truly turns out to be combat chess. As for Vitali, that's the one brother that Eddie has a good chance of beating. Vitali's age and Eddie's speed favors Mr. Chambers and his good defense and countering abilities and the stage both men are in their respective careers leads me to favor Chambers in that one. But in the case of Wlad versus Eddie, it's definitely Wlad.
