    WTF? He barely threw **** all night,and when he did he was already running away or adopting a defensive position when he threw. Not even close to being a good effort.

      I mean, you can go for broke and end up getting KO'd within 3 rounds. Or you can try and be patient and hope to capitalize off of a Wlad mistake. Either way it's going to be nearly impossible for these current HW contenders.
      Kevin Johnson waited 12 rounds to capitalize too. Unfortunately the Klitschko's don't make many mistakes.

      Chambers had the same look in his corner that Johnson had. He knew he was outclassed and just looked to survive.

        These guys must be smoking some good ****.

        That fight was as clear a wipeout as I've ever seen.

          We need a Corrie Sanders to make him at least fight.


          Just come in and blast away.

          Of course quick hands and power aren't in abundance these days, and Wlad just keeps getting better.

            Maybe you had a choppy stream.
            I mean it wasn't the best performance ever and he wasn't even close to beating Wlad, but he put more effort in then any of Wlad's opponents besides Thompson.

              Chambers didn't do much better than Johnson. His corner was yelling at him the whole time to do something and he didn't.
              They didn't fight the same fight. Just saying Marquez was also totally outclassed but still threw punches when openings were there and although tentative Juan threw also when opening sometimes weren't so obvious. That's what Chambers did. Johnson on the other hand didn't throw anything and didn't try. Both were outclassed so does it really matter? To me it was a pretty impressive win because Chambers despite his size is a decent fighter. Much better than the usual American bum that Wlad/Vitali ices.

                Chambers did what he could, some of the blame goes to his corner, he really needed tactical advice.

                  What fight were you watching? He never even came close to winning a round or taking any chances.

                  It was pathetic.
                  Obviously you're not a fighter. If you were, you'd know trying to get inside that jab is next to impossible. Seriously, you think anyone could do it? Why couldn't Brewster do it the second time? What about Chris Byrd? He didn't try either?

                  B.S.

                      Agree. He came out looking to be in the fight and stayed trying until around seven/eight...realized it wasn't happening and tried to run out. Props to Wlad for the late crush.
