Wladimir Klitschko vs. Eddie Chambers. Discussion and RBR thread.

[BattlingNelson]

Tonight Wladimir Klitschko defends his IBF/WBO HW titles against highly rated 'fast' Eddie Chambers from USA. Chambers is qualified for the job having beaten the giant Sasha Dimitrenko in Germany.

Of course tonight he faces a stiffer test in Wladimir Klitschko in front of an expected crowd of 50K people in Düsseldorf Arena.

Wlad calls Chambers the most dangerous challenger yet.

FYI Wlad's girlfriend Hayden Panetierre will be in the crowd, but she'll be hidden somewhere!

Klitschko trainer Emanuel Steward expects his protegée to end matters in 7 rounds. Whatever happens Chambers' will be well paid. His purse is 740,000 euros.

740 000 Euros = 1.001664 million U.S. dollars

Round 1 action: Wlad comes out cautiously (like usual) and starts working the left jab trying to find his range but mid-way thru the round hits Chambers with a big right cross! Chambers barely holds on until the bell rings! Great first round...

10-9 Wlad...

How much is Wladdy getting?

I haven't got that info, but I would estimate at least 5 times times as much. Maybe even 10 times more.

[Bright-Eyes]

Do Wlads fights usually start this early? I recall his fight with Chagaev starting around this time too.

Anyone got a stream? can't find any on justin tv

[Jim Jeffries]

I thought Eddie would have at least a little trouble with Dimitrenko's size



But then he went out there, dropped the big fella and won every round.
