Yea I know what your saying. It doesn't bother me he isn't some knockout artist though. I just wish. He woulda pulled the trigger more in the Peter fight because he was making it look fairly easy.
But I am really excited for that fight.

Nice pic of Leonard Cohen.

Thanks, wish more people were into him.

I saw him at Madison Square Garden in the latter part of 2009, and it was sold out, so he's doing OK! Excellent show as well.

I like Chambers as well. I wish he hit harder but than again it is nice to see a Heavy Weight with some legs, movement and angles.

I was impressed with Chambers against Dimitrenko, especially the improvement in Eddie's conditioning. Dropping the spare tire made him so much quicker, and he was really able to get inside on Sascha and work him over. It's going to be tough to do that versus Wlad because that thudding left jab will be bouncing off Eddie's face, but I think this could be a much more competitive match than we've seen Wlad in for awhile.

I dont think there will be another Heavyweight as good as Wlad as long as I live.

I like him a lot. I cover "Hallelujah" often when I play.

Eddie will not be able to do the same things he did against Dimitrenko against Klitschko.

Dimitrenko has terrible footwork, he was tripping over his feet trying to evade Chambers and looking like a drunken fool. Klitschko has excellent footwork and will be able to move Chambers around the ring at will.

Also, in the Dimitrenko fight Chambers didn't show all that much head movement. He kept a high guard and would wade into Dimitrenko, when Sachsa threw punches he was able to move Chambers back, even when they were blocked. The sheer power of Klitschko's punches are gonna be a rude awakening for Chambers.

Chambers is a damn good fighter, and one of my favorites. I admire his hard work and dedication to get his weight down and knock off a guy nobody expected him to beat. However the physical advantages that Klitschko has will make this a near impossible task for Eddie.

Funny you mention the Peter fight. I was sure Peter would knock Chambers out. (Lost all my points on Boxing Scene for my trouble). Now I feel like an idiot ever picking Peter. Live and learn.

We're not all hoping for the same outcome

I'm much more concerned about Wlad holding/grabbing/ habbits than his jab. Wlad is a master at holding. Super master. Super grand master as Pacman would say. If he ties Chambers as soon as he gets in punching range to throw combinations, I'm afraid we'll get to see Wlad vs Povetkin.
