Comments Thread For: Chambers vs Liakhovich Finalized For NBC Sports, Jan. 21

I hope this is a good fight. It would be nice to see more boxing coverage.

They could have chosen a better style match-up.

This. If its going on TV again we need to start out with 2 brawlers or KO artists or something. Not 2 boxers without a lot of power.

The best news I've heard in a long, long time!

Wow, this is pretty lame, and more along the level of a versus fight night than a premium channel quality matchup. With a larger budget than ESPN, telefutura, telemundo, and fox sports we should expect competitive fights at the championship level, not 2 washed up former contenders in a cross roads bout in boxing's worst division. This fight doesn't even belong on epix or TV period

Looking forward to this, I hope Eddie can pull off a KO.

xcllent semi w/Soto-Karas & hope NBC kicks in big $$ w/top ticket only $65...I'm going to this...Chambers should be a winner...

i think this is a great fight. sergei looked pretty good vs helenius but got caught big time. i think eddie can outbox him but i can't see chambers knocking him out. good fight none the less & on NBC to boot.good to see network television other then espn putting on fights again.

this isn't on NBC. it's NBC buying Versus and changing the name to NBC sports network.

so whatever channel versus is on your cable system, that's the channel you're watching this fight on...not regular NBC

Chambers looked okay in his last fight. He's going to get demolished again if he wants another shot at Klitshko.

You must not be a fan of boxing then. This is a great nontitle hw fight if any (actually it might be more entertaining) as these two former top tier hw's try to get their selves back into contention....

I don't know who to pick. I've heard Liakhovich has rededicated himself to sport and Chambers is more-or-less a top ten contender although I can't remember the last time I saw him fight. Should be a good matchup....

Good *****. I live in the Pittsburgh area, but my brother lives out near Philly. I imagine I'm gonna make the trip for this one. Should be a good time.
