12 ROUNDS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ELIMINATOR Friday, March 27, at Nokia Theater, Los Angeles, CA (ESPN2)
Most sportsbooks have Chambers a slight favorite with the total rounds favored to go over 9.5 rounds by more than 2-1. Weigh-in will be staged on Thursday, March 26, 11:00 a.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel LAX in the Burgundy/Bordeaux room. I will post a full write-up on Friday after the weigh-in. Don't miss out because there is some inside information within each camp that has leaked out, making it very viable to the outcome (the reliability of one source will be better assured by Wednesday). I'll wait and see what surfaces in the main steam media, as I'm sure the fighters conditioning will be apparent.

03/22 Eddie Chambers +100 (6.0 Units) [sports.bodoglife.com]
03/27 Samuel Peter +145 (4.9 Units) [bookmaker.com]
Unless a draw (no contest) happens I win 1.1 Units. To be exact
Chambers wins +1.10 Units
Peter wins +1.15 Units
I'm splitting this bet. I didn't think that I'd get as high as +145, was expecting +125 range. Both fighters are over-weight and although I think Chambers by decision, I'm going to FreeRoll this badboy!
A few updates:
The other day I saw Chambers +110, but it had to be a typo on the board.
Weigh-In Results: Sam Peter 265 - Eddie Chambers 223
Eddie Chambers has quick hands, efficient countering and skillful defense. Samuel Peter is know for his strength and power punches. It was true that Peter was coming in sloppy for the weigh-in. Peter in 2005 weighed 243 against Wladimir, who he knocked down 3 times. At 265, will he be way to slow? Chambers came into the fight heavy comparatively as well, but for him maybe it's strategic. Chambers being to light he would constantly have to move, and if Peter was leaning on him, it would burn quite a bit of his energy. I think both fighters have always shown lack luster performances, and where one fighter lacks boxing ability and speed, the other lacks power. The hand injury information I heard about appears to be false, but Peters added weight was apparent. I also heard Chambers would be heavier than usual, but not a negative factor in this instance. If I wasn't splitting the bet, I would have bet Chambers to win a decision +142. I think having two out of out of shape fighters, is like betting a football game with two very bad teams, it's predictability becomes harder. I'm gonna just watch and prefer not to see a no-contest or a draw, I'm straight free-rollin on this play. Enjoy the fight to all you spectators.

Scores were 95-95, 96-94, 99-91... what a discepancy from 99-91 to 95-95. That's why I took the split on this one and middled it. Unpredictable fighters when they are lazy, and more unpredictable judges it seems many times in major fights or Heavyweight contender match. Whenever you have a knockout punching heavyweight, 9 out of 10 times he is the bigger draw on the card against a better boxer who lacks one punch knockout power. The same goes for big pay-per-view match-ups, in boxing it's very hard for journeymen to get the decision against top card draw fighters. It's suppose to be their warm-up fight before a 100 Million pay-per-view event, so if a known championship fighter loses to an unknown, the question becomes before that fight is, can the unknown fighter quickly draw a fan base enough. Take De La Hoya who fought Felix Sturm 06-05-2004 and won 115-133 decision on all cards, but already had a huge deal with Hopkins (and also his Golden Boy Promotions in the balance). I felt Oscar lost that fight along with many others, but there wasn't much of a possibility of Sturm winning a decision that day. That's boxing, it's politics outside and inside the ring.
It's all in the game!
Units +1.1 (Eddie Chambers vs Samuel Peter)

If you come at the king, you best not miss!
