    Eddie chambers should have trained harder for Wlad

    honestly, it's his big shot..and although 209 is good for today, he looked to be about in the same shape as Ali was for Holmes. Still soft. He should have came in at 200 on the dot, that way he could have kept moving all night and thrown more.

    Same went for Aerolla. At least the Klitschkos show up in relatively good shape.

    What ever happened to Hw's looking like Norton and Holyfield.

    Many of todays HW's got no heart, no diciplin. They go to the gym and celebrate doing something at the gym with fastfood and television.

      these guys have no discipline

        Doug fischer and couple other columists said Chambers was in the best shape of his life.

        So I guess his best wasn't good enough.

          I feel he did not have a good game plan, you can't get on the inside against a guy like Klitschko when you are right in front of him. Chambers should have never been in front of Wlad and utilized side to side movement and slipping to counter over the jab. Wlad almost always sets up the right with the jab so even moving and slipping to the left just as he is about to throw the jab would allow him to get inside. How do you get past the flagpole by attacking it straight up? Just a lack of a game plan in general except trying to bruise up Wlad's arm until he was afraid to throw it anymore.

            He trained hard, you can not compare him to Chris Arreola. Chambers weigh-in under 210lbs, Arreola weight-ins over 260lbs. You can tell who is dedicated and who is not.

            The problem with Chambers is that he is not a HW he should go to CW. Campaign there. Become champ there.

              there is nothing he couldve done in training camp to put him in the position to beat wlad.
              he's too small, doesnt have the reach and doesnt hit hard enough.

                The dude was seriously outgunned in this fight, I don’t think it would have made one iota of a difference.

                  Of course that would mean he couldn't eat tacos and at burgerking no more. In other words have to do an effort, show a little heart.. other than spend a chance of a lifetime running backwards, hiding.
