I don't doubt that, but a 200-210 lb hw should just go to cruiser and campaign overseas.

When you're having success there's no need to move down, Chambers might not beat a Klitschko but he's one of the decent boxers outside the brothers. Eddie did beat Povetkin remember.

are you losing your mind. He lost a Unanimous decision to Povetkin.

And he deserved to do so. The fight was relatively even for 6 rounds and the fat fucker from Philly froze......... He lost going away.

He could have been fighting in Philly with his mom, dad, and girlfriend as the judges and he would have lost.

LOL for some reason I thought Eddie had schooled Povetkin, I think I might have confused that fight with Dawson vs. Adamek D'oh.

I think I had it 115-113 or 116-112 Povetkin. Eddie just didn't do enough, he would score a great counter and not follow up with anything, and allow Povetkin to steal the round.

Dawson on the other hand was in total control of Adamek.

I think it was worse than Povetkin stealing a round.

Through 6 or 7 rounds Povetkin just edged out the 3 or 4 rounds you could argue he won. But the last 4-5 rounds of that fight, Chambers did absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Povetkin didn't steal any of those rounds. Fat Eddie FROZE!!!! He looked like a deer in the headlights all of a sudden. Either the magnitude of the moment got to him or he threw the fight. Since I don't believe the latter, it has to have been the former.

ALI- I think you are thinking of Fat Eddie beating Dimitrenko!!!!!

Thanks!

first fight should be Bryant Jennings. 27 yr old american HW that beat Liakhovich last fight on nbc. he is inexperienced, but facing liakhovich after boxing for only 4 yrs is better than other american prospects like Wilder who is facing horrible competition. Steve Kim of Maxboxing description of Jennings is below. Sad but Seth Mitchell and Jennings are the cream of the HW crop in the US and both didn't start boxing until very late.


Bryant Jennings- An athletic boxer who has taken an all-too-familiar route to our sport for American heavyweights, not entering a ring until age 23, concentrating on basketball, football and track before trying boxing. Success in other sports rarely converts to boxing since it is a singular sport with most champions introduced to boxing before their teenage years. Jennings has reassigned his athletic ability to boxing, reaching the finals of the national PAL (losing to American Olympic representative Lenroy Thompson) and US Golden Gloves competitions. However, the fact that Jennings only had 17 amateur bouts shows that breaching the finals is no longer the arduous process or achievement it once was. At 6’ 2” with an 84-inch reach and 220 pounds, Jennings is not a big heavyweight, relying on footwork and timing rather than punching. A lot of Jennings’ success is predicated on movement but everything still seems a bit reactionary instead of exploitive of his physical skills. Jennings is a mature 27 but only four years of boxing experience gives pause as to what will happen when he faces adversity for the first time. Jennings has a good right hand and is most comfortable playing the role of moving counterpuncher. Quick to clinch on the inside- given slender physique, is not a bad idea- and keeps both hands high using them well to slap punches away. Jennings delivers awkwardly effective jabs, leaning to his right and pushing it straight out with decent speed and accuracy. Has a wide stance and bends his knees deep to shoot straight punches, which can take power out of the punches but Jennings wins fights on volume and sound defense. Reflexes are great but he loses sight of opponents at times with high guard and quick lateral movement. Because he came to the sport late, Jennings is either full offense or defense, punching or covering up, and lacks fluidity changing from one to the other. I do like that when Jennings gets hit solidly, he tries to counter immediately and take the play away from an opponent. Nickname of “Bye-Bye” is not for 46% kayo ratio but Jennings can pull away on the scorecards quickly with fast starts. A quality prospect who fights to his strengths, Jennings received an ego boost when Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach said he is the best prospect America has right now in the heavyweight division.
