By Jim Dower: Emanuel Steward, the trainer of International Boxing Federation/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s), is predicting an 8th round knockout win for Wladimir over challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) on Saturday night in Dusseldorf, Germany. In an article at Yahoo Sports, Steward says “Chambers is the best he’s ever fought, but Wladimir is in the form of his life and he’ll win by KO by round 8 at the latest.”

Klitschko ready for Chambers on Saturday night
By Jason Kim: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) states he’s ready for challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) when the two meet in a heavyweight clash in Dusseldorf, Germany. There is expected to be a sellout crowd of 51,000 to see Klitschko defend his title against the 27-year-old Chambers. Klitschko hasn’t had any competitive fights since capturing the IBF heavyweight title in 2006 with a knockout win over Chris Byrd.
Klitschko rates Chambers as a “much better boxer than David Haye”
By Dan Ambrose: Paying a big compliment to his American challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s), IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) said to ESPN, “I believe that Eddie Chambers is a much better fighter than David Haye. Haye is ridiculous. He bailed from my fight, from a fight with Vitali. He actually admitted he was going to fight Valuev because it’s an easier fight for him. So he [Haye] fought Valuev in a very boring way for 12 rounds. And – excuse me – Valuev is just a freak show.”

By Dave Lahr: International Boxing Federation/World Boxing Organization heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) is wary about this Saturday night’s fight against his number # 1 challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO”s) at the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. In an article at Sport.ru, the thirty-three year old Klitschko says “How dangerous is Eddie Chambers? I am fully aware that his little man is extremely dangerous.” Chambers will be giving up nearly six inches in height and over 30+ pounds in weight to the much bigger Wladimir. This could end up meaning a lot if Chambers isn’t able to get within punching range or if he can’t take the big punishing shots from Klitschko.
Klitschko-Chambers: Is Eddie to small and weak to compete with Wladimir?
By Jim Dower: Only 6’1” 208, Eddie Chambers (25-1, 18 KO’s) is one of the smaller heavyweights to have challenged IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) for his title. On Saturday night, Chambers has to hope that his lack of size and power won’t be a hindrance in him attempting to capture Klitschko’s two titles when he meets him at the 51,000 seat ESPRIT arena, in Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Can Chambers stand up to Wladimir Klitschko’s shots?
By Dan Ambrose: Although IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) is known for being a boring safety first type fighter, he does wind up getting a knock out win more often than not due to his powerful left hooks, right hands and jabs. Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s), the latest challenger to Wladimir’s titles, hasn’t faced any top fighters with the power that Klitschko will have going for him in their fight on March 20th at the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Chambers sees no problems beating Klitschko
By Jim Dower: American heavyweight contender Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) feels good about his chances of beating IBF/WBC heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) on March 20th when he fights him in Germany. Chambers, 27, says in an article at Boxing Talk “I’m coming to win this fight handily and in twelve rounds. I should be in front pretty easily.” Chambers thinks he’ll be able to out-point Klitschko, which is kind of the opposite of what most fighters attempt to do when they face Wladimir. Winning rounds against the tall 6’6” Klitschko isn’t an easy thing for most fighters do.
Klitschko vs. Chambers prediction
By Dave Lahr: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is perhaps the best heavyweight we’ve seen since Lennox Lewis retired six years ago. Klitschko’s power, hand speed, movement and athleticism is unmatched by any other heavyweight in the division. He’s been almost untouchable since hiring legendary trainer Emanuel Steward six years ago fix his stamina and defensive liabilities. With that said, I think challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) is going to knock Klitschko out in the 6th round on March 20th when they meet at the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Chambers very confident about Klitschko fight
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight contender Eddie Chambers is incredibly confident about his chances against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko for March 20th. Confidence is a good thing to have, but Chambers sounds almost deluded with his self belief going into this fight. In article by Bernard Fernandez of Philly.com, Chambers says “Beating Klitschko isn’t about me getting lucky…It’s never easy being the best at what you do.” Wow! I never realized how cocky Chambers is. And the thing is, he looks damn average in every fight I’ve seen him.
Klitschko needs to beat Chambers in an impressive manner
By Jim Dower: The knock on IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is that he’s a boring, safety first fighter who lacks heart. Some people think Wladimir does just enough to win his fights, and because of that believe, many boxing fans have lost interest in watching Wladimir fight. This hasn’t been lost on HBO, who now rarely shows any of Klitschko’s fights anymore. That’s hard to imagine for a heavyweight who has dominated the heavyweight division for the most part for the past five years.
