    Damn Eddie... What happened man?

    12 rounds ago I was convinced that "Fast" Eddie Chambers was absolutely the best heavyweight that the U.S. had to offer. Now, Arreola easily takes that title, which isn't encouraging in the least.

    Chambers really disappointed man. I don't care that he lost or got KO'd, because I predicted that. I simply wanted him to try. I'm tired of these boxers selling me on their will and determination, when it's obvious they don't believe it themselves.

    If anybody has seen any post-fight interviews with Eddie please post them. I need him to explain, eloquently I'm sure, what the **** happened?

      he probs is best US HW with boxing skills, but arreola is the main man, he took it to vitali, yes he got hammerd but the way to beat the klits is to pressurise them, not defned defend defned

        Face it man, US HW scene is done. Hasim Rahman was the pick of your crop for about 10 years. Like I said, the cupboard is bare.

          I think it's because he got hit in the face a lot. Its much easier to show heart and determination when you are getting hit by a 130 pound guy than when you get peppered by the biggest puncher in boxing. Heavyweight boxing just does not work the same way as lower divisions.

            Chambers threw very few pucnhes throughout the fight, this was due to the height n reach advantage for wlad. Chambrs came to survive 12 rounds, but he got hit with a good left hook

                  I think Chambers would handle Arreola easily

                    Dr Steelhammer happened.

                    He had to pull the plug on Fast Eddie.
