Comments Thread For: Adamek vs Chambers on June 16th at Prudential Center

Idk why so many fans are picking Chambers to win when he hasn't fought in over a year and didnt look too impressive in his last outing. Chambers is not a big puncher so Adamek will not have to be too cautious in his offense. I see Adamek pressing the fight, out working Eddie and possibly getting the stoppage. In any event, this should be a fun fight to watch..

[Jack Napier]

going with Adamek in this, good fight
Adamek can beat anyone at HW except the Klits
one of the smaller HW's who can actually box and has some speed
Chambers isn't bad, but he'll get outworked/outboxed here

[Weltschmerz]

Good and sensible match-up, Adamek should win this one and keep momentum.

If either man is dominant I hope they get the message that they do much better against men their size. CW

[Silencers]

This will be a very interesting fight. If Chambers is sharp, I personally don't think Adamek will be able to win fighting his normal style as a heavyweight, I think Chambers is quicker with his hands and can get his punches off first. But this depends on whether Chambers is sharp enough considering his long layoff.

If Chambers is sharp, and isn't badly affected by the layoff, I say he wins a clear UD. I'm sorry, but Adamek is too slow, his balance is atrocious at HW, his accuracy isn't as good, and his power is lacking. He is a natural CW. Although Eddie himself is a small heavyweight, he's more experienced there, and has been a HW his entire career.

Someone in here said Adamek would "outbox" Eddie? With all due respect, surely you're not serious? The last thing Adamek would do is outbox him, his only chance to win this is outworking Eddie, and given Eddie's speed advantage, better defense, to me he should be getting off first all night and his punches will have more snap to them and be more noticeable and consistent.

Just 'cause Adamek circled and shoe shined an out of shape plodding Arreola, doesn't mean he'll do that to Chambers. Chambers is a much more advanced fighter then Arreola. My prediction is that Adamek will struggle to find good openings, Chambers finds his range with the jab, and paints Adamek with the right hand and combinations all night. The speed advantage and defensive advantage Chambers has is big, IMO.

Also take into consideration, given Adamek not being a natural HW, and not having alot of experience there, don't be surprised if Chambers' punches have more of an affect on him as do they on other opponents. I'm sorry, while Adamek is a very solid fighter, I feel people tremendously overrate Adamek at times, people make him out to be some extravagant boxer with pure boxing skills. It's ridiculous.

If Chambers wasn't so inactive this would be a great fight, it is still interesting because they are close in size. Adamek may even be bigger now that he bulked up.

Man I enjoy watching Chambers fight, but dude needs to fight way more. Ring rust is going to catch up to him.

[Superflo777]

Damn, that's a very good match up. Chambers is the more skilled fighter but this one think Adamek will win because of Chambers' inactivity and bad shape compared to Adamek. Chambers should really fight at CW, he would do great down at 200.

Spot on analysis... Chambers has great upper body movement, which will serve him well for awhile, but lacks the firepower to keep Adamek off of him. I see Eddie getting stopped late.
