Klitschko vs Chambers Who Will Win?

How does everyone think the fight will play out on March 10th between current WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir "Steelhammer" Klitschko won 53 (KO 47) + lost 3 (KO 3) + drawn 0 = 56 and top rated and WBO mandatory American heavyweight "Fast" Eddie Chambers won 35 (KO 18) + lost 1 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 36?

I see this fight being similar to Wlad's 2 fights with Chris Byrd. In my opinion, Byrd was a slicker fighter with even better skills than Chambers. I think this fight will go into the middle rounds at most before a TKO/KO victory for Wladimir. The only unknown variables is how the inactivity and recovery of Wladimir's shoulder will effect him in this fight. But, in my opinion even if he fights to only 75% of his last fight with Chagaev, Wladimir should be able to win if not stop him.

Klitschko vs Valuev A No Go

After lengthy negotiations, the heavyweight matchup between current WBC heavyweight champion "Dr. Ironfist" Vitali Klitschko and the 7' + tall and former WBA heavyweight champion "The Beast from the East" Nicolai Valuev will not be happening after all as confirmed by BILD. Vitali Klitschko's team has tried their best to get the Russian giant into the ring, but Valuev's team appears to not want to fight Vitali by wanting too many demands.

As to why I think the fight isn't happening, I believe they know Valuev will lose for sure and they think they can make more money with Valuev on a few more fights and another potentially safer route against another champion in the future who is not a Klitschko(Haye for example, or potentially another champion if Vitali retires).

Here's what Vitali Klitschko's manager Bernd Bonte had to say about this fight failing in negotiations:

"Promoter Don King is crazy. He makes demands for Valuev that are simply not acceptable.."

Harrison Wants Fight With Klitschko's

Looks like you can add Audley Harrison to the latest fighter saying he wants to fight the Klitschko's. Audley is on another "comeback" fight and hopes a win in his next fight will put him on route to a heavyweight championship fight with one of the Klitschko's.

He wants to fight them rather than Haye he says because he feels the public eye views them as champions(stating the obvious are we).

He might want to double check who has which belts though, because as you can see in this video, he points out Wladimir Klitsclhko specifically as the brother to fight and then goes on to say that a fight with Haye then as "WBC" champion would be good. Wladimir Klitschko isnt the WBC champion that's his brother. Anyway, on to the video you can see what he had to say..

Vitali Klitschko Considering Retirement in 2010!!!

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko recently has spoken while visiting a Kiev hydro-electric plant that he wishes to have his last fight against David Haye before the end of 2010 and wishes to bow out after he defeats Haye. He says he only needs 1 more belt and that would fulfill his heavyweight boxing goals. No word has been given if he plans to hold out for Haye or to face another voluntary or mandatory defense before him.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is scheduled to face his mandatory John Ruiz on April 3rd of this year and Haye is also reported to be wanting a second fight with the former WBA heavyweight champion Nicolai Valuev(possible mandatory from the contract). So, it's unlikely to me that Vitali could get a fight with him before the end of 2010. Maybe Vitali will wait until early 2011 if needed to get that last fight. Stay tuned for more information and check out what Vitali Klitschko had to say...


"I only have to win one belt. So this year I will hang up my boxing gloves. And I'll stop visiting different cities to beat somebody's face in."

Klitschko Offers $2 million For Valuev

Team Klitschko has made a final offer to face Nicolai Valuev for $2 million. Originally, Vitali Klitschko and his team offered Valuev $1 million dollars and then team Valuev came back and demanded an outrageous $4 million.

Here's what Vitali Klitschko told liga.net...

"We continue the negotiations. Valuev has made big mistake by signing the contract with Don King. Valuev wants to get $4 million for this fight, though he has never earned so much even when he was a world champion. I made him the official offer – $2 million and the chance to fight for the world title. If he doesn’t answer by next week, we’ll surely sign an agreement with another opponent."

Team Valuev Wants $4 million To Face Klitschko

Looks like that while in talks to face each other, the former WBA heavyweight champion's team has now asked for $4 million to face the current champion Vitali Klitschko after Klitschko's team offered $1 million. The main reason this is occurring is because of Valuev's co-promoter Don King.

Here's what Klitschko’s manager Bernd Bönte told BILD:

“Impossible even if Valuev had four belts and was undefeated.” He added that if Valuev doesn’t come aboard, there are other alternatives. Kalle Sauerland of Sauerland Event, Valuev’s other co-promoter, is optimistic that Klitschko-Valuev can be made. “This is an absolute must-fight,” he said. “We’ll find a solution. I think we’ll get this fight sorted out.”

To me this is unreasonable. Valuev never made anywhere near this amount as champion but after a defeat they want $4 million to face Vitali? Sounds like King is just giving a figure to make it look like he's willing to face Klitschko when he really doesn't and knows that a large sum like this would dissuade anyone to want to go through with the fight.

Eddie Chambers Radio Interview

American heavyweight hopeful "Fast" Eddie Chambers was recently interviewed on Blog Talk Radio along with Jason Estrada ahead of their respective fights. Estrada is fighting Adamek this Saturday, and Chambers will be fighting current IBF, IBO, WBO heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko on March 20th at the ESPRIT arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.

In the interview, Chambers talks about his last fight with Dimitrenko and how that was a perfect match to prepare himself for the fight with Wladimir. He says there are few things he needs to adjust, but once he does he feels that it will be enough to get a win. He goes on about how he has watched his past fights to make improvements since his loss to Povetkin and sub par wins against Calvin Brock and Sam Peter. He also talks about his drastic weight cut in his last fight and how this has increased his advantage in speed and movement.

Here's the interview. You can skip to the 53 minute mark to cut to the Chambers interview..
