Chambers vs Kltschko

Unlike most boxing fans, I don't consider this fight to be an afterthought. I have several reasons why I like Chambers from a wagering standpoint. To beat Wlad, you need a perfect storm of circumstances. We might have those elements in place today.

Excellent points.

Meanwhile the odds are up to 10-1 :)

Let's hope his 19 year old girlfriend is there so he feels "pressured" to LOOK good :)

First time in ages he's fighting a guy in HIS prime and in shape.

Granted Eddie gives up tons of height and weight, but as you pointed out.. his last opponent was just as tall.

Eddie has fought in Europe before this being his 3rd fight unlike most Americans who just fly over and are over whelmed.

I like the Fight to go the distance +140 :)

Good Luck let's GO EDDIE bring home some belts for US!

                                          

Walktheline we have disagreed over most things here and not much has changed here . Chambers is what 9 pounds over the cruiserweight limit? and looks like losing 9 pounds is easily achievable based around his current physique. I mean the guy has had what a 12 week training camp and he still looks like a guy who spends why too much time on the couch eating KFC and McDonalds, washing it down with coke n beers! Contrast that with Wlad whose physique looks like that of an a Olympic God. The weigh in stare down is hilarious. It really is David v Goliath stuff but David aint winning here. Ok Physiques don't win fights but you see what I am trying to say.

Eddie's best chance to win this fight id by KO because lets be honest, he aint getting a points decision in Germany right. Chambers only has a 51% knock out rate and has NEVER knocked out a Top 15 fighter. I think that Eddie will make Klitschko work over the first 3 to 4 rounds but that, once Wlad adjusts to his style, it will become a case of how long Eddie can stay out of range of Wlad's power..

I actually think Chambers has NO chance and I would urge patriotic American supporters not to back him under ANY circumstances. The ony way Eddie can win is if Wlad has seriously, serioudly underestimated him. I think Wlad will do that especially after making those kind of mistakes against Corrie Saunders and Lamon Brewster. At least those guys could punch.

I have followed Rich's advice and played the over, put a small saver as well on the points. But Eddie winning? Yes and a big bunch of flying pigs will fly over the ring just as Eddie Knocks him out! It aint happening. If you haven't bet save your money..

I took Chambers +18.5 points. He has to win 3 rounds. It is a +330 wager. Read the post next time chief.

I did chief. The point I am making is that he is seriously over matched here and it will be tough to win 3 rounds. I presume too if Wlad KO's him you lose the bet?.

You said Eddie might get the KO late on. I am telling you he won't. My post is basically disagreeing with your logic for placing the wager. I simply don't agree with most of your points and the KO possibility is nonsense.

I think if you like Chambers the over is a far safer play at probably better odds too? Think about it

 

Think about this.. if the fight goes 12 rounds, how did it get there? Probably because Wladimir struggled at some point. I'm basically getting NOT Wladimir by KO at +330. A much better option than a negative number on the over. 

hmmmm Good luck with your play, but Wlad KO is a big possibility in this fight. I would prefer to play the over and another play on points. If the over hits your main play hits and you can relax hoping then that the points hits to make it a good night. Yes those plays are less risky but the thoughts of needing fatboy to go the full 12 rounds and then hoping some German judges give him 3 rounds means I don't see the value in +330...What happens he he wins 4 rounds with one judge, but 1 round on the other 2 judging cards? Afterall it is Germany.

Wlad could easily end this early and we are all screwed but I prefer to play as safe as possible with a fight like this. I might seriously regret betting my money on a guy who looks like he belongs in McDonalds and not a boxing ring. As a guy who used to box, I can't understand how a guy who trains that hard can be that fleshy.

I just think there are far too many Varabiles too see any value in +330 for your play. As you know Walk I am a professional gambler. I spend my life looking for value and I just don't see it in your play..

I really can't see Chambers getting a KO. Not at 35 wins and 18 ko's. Its not like Vlad's chin is made of glass. 

Now Walktheline can you see why I was so down on your play? The over has hit (Much appreciated Rich!!!) and I can now chill and hope for the points to hit. I can't see how Eddie gets 1 round let alone 3. Its a clever trap bookies lay in trick you into thinking what looks attactive price +330 but it reality it is not..

Mack you know I'm big on points and such but no Value with Eddie on the points.. same trap as last week with Clottey... "Just need a few rounds".

Not happening in Germany.. what was your second bet? Hopefully you laid the points with Klitscho and (ko) is a winner (it is at 5dimes).

Rich I had quite a bit on the over (so I really do owe you quite a few beers). A small bet on the decision just for a interest if the over hit. Thing is not to get too greedy in this game..

Mack glad it hit.. when 1:30 hit in the 11th.. I counted it as a win.. and that's what mattered.. but was rooting for Eddie to finish.

Realistically he was losing every round.. and he just wanted to last 12 after he tasted a 6'6 246 power punch.

Eddie has a good chin for a Cruiser Weight :-)

People need to look at the replay it wasn't a hit on the CHIN it was on the side of the temple and Eddie went night night.

Let's keep the winning going into next week big fights coming up!
