Klitschko vs Chambers (3/20 in Germany)

Klitschko vs Chambers (3/20 in Germany) This is for Klitschko's belts (WBO AND IBF) Klitschko is 6'6 1/2", Chambers is 6'1". (I think Chambers might be shorter from looking at the presser photo's. Chambers got into shape for his last fight and weighed in at 208. Klitschko is always right around 240. If Chambers coming is fat, as he's been known to do, he could weigh in the 220's. Chambers isn't much of a KO artist and he's won about half his fights by decision. Klitschko has been the distance once in the last 5 or so years. Klitschko's KO rates is right around 89 percent. I've been told by people that I respect that Chambers has a good chance of winning this fight. I just can't see it. They point to Chambers fight against Dimitrenko (another 6'6" Ukrainian) and say that the size difference won't be that big of a factor. I've watch that fight and yes Chambers fought a good fight, the difference is that Dimitrenko's doesn't have the power that Klitschko has. I've read that Klitschko has been lighting up his sparing partners and that he's looking great. In my opinion many people want Chambers to win so bad because they hate the Klitschko's so much. I can be honest, often they are boring as hell to watch right up to the big right hand or left hook that puts their foes to sleep. Chambers needs to get on the inside against Klitschko. That is a lot easier said then done and without KO power I can't see this fight going any other way then for Klitschko. Another telling point... no one picked up the fight in the states. Espn, HBO and others didn't want to carry the fight. If Chambers were special they would. I'm currently not betting this fight. I will likely bet Klitschko later in the week. I'm hoping the lines come down. My only out for this fight is Bodog and it is currently -800. This fight probably goes one of two ways. Klitschko lights up Chambers in the mid rounds or Chambers spends the whole fight covering up in which case it might go the distance.

While Dr. Steelhammer Klitschko is chiseled, Chambers isn't. He isn't exactly flabby he looks small and his arms like really small for a HW. My bet and recommendation. Klitschko -800 Chambers has almost no chance of getting a decision in Germany against Klitschko and Klitschko's chin might not be granite like his older brothers, its good enough for the lighter punching Chambers.

any opinion on tonight's fight on espn 2?? thanks

Dr. Steelhammer did what he does. Other then a 5 minute stoppage to replace a split glove (chambers) the fight would have been over earlier. After the break Chambers had a bit more energy and managed to last until right before the end of the fight when Wlad dropped a short left that knocked Chambers partially through the ropes. He didn't get counted out because he was out cold. Wlad is what he is. His style isn't all that exciting but it works. A lot of boxing pundits gave Chambers a chance in the fight. He had little to no chance to win the fight and it showed as he lost every rounds and then got KTFO. I think some of it was just hoping someone could challenge the champ and some of it was cheering for the American. I fixed my record to be accurate. 11-0 (all fights recommended and bet) 37.2 Units wagered (+14.26) Don't worry I'll lose one recommended bet next week. (Its a straddle bet which, I previously recommended and will bump.) GL
