Eddie Chambers Defeats Raphael Butler

On Friday night(6/20/08), "Fast" Eddie Chambers (31-1, 17 KOs) defeated Raphael Butler (31-5, 24 KOs) by a convincing 6th round TKO. He started off slow, but using his jab he lured Butler into a stoppage by 2:23 in the 6th round via a barrage of punches which started with a left to the jaw. This gives Chambers some redemption over his loss to IBF #1 mandatory Alexander Povetkin who defeated him via 12 round decision a few months ago.


"I'm happy with the knockout, although I expected it to come sooner," Chambers said. "I was setting him up with the jab all day. I'm glad I got a couple of rounds in, but I really could have stopped him earlier."
