Eddie Chambers vs Wladimir Klitschko: My Official Prediction

Eddie Chambers vs Wladimir Klitschko is nearly signed for December 12th heres my thoughts on this matchup. Eddie Chambers is coming off of a great victory against Alexander Dmitrenko back on July 4th. Hes a great boxer with fast hands, and can move around the ring and box. He has shown as of late that he tends to get lazy in the later rounds which costed him his match against Alexander Povetkin. Wladimir Klitschko has been the top heavyweight for three years now. He has been willing to fight whoever has been put in front of him and has beaten everyone put in front of him since 2006. He has great balance, has great offensive awareness, uses a stiff jab, and movement which aids him to victory. Chambers as I said early tends to slack off in the later rounds, in a recent bout with Samuel Peter he tended to slack and just throw sloppy punches. He doesnt hit hard enough to make Wladimir be cautious, and hes very undersized which all can play against him in this fight with Klitschko. Wladimir Klitschko as known by everyone has a suspect chin, he is not willing to exchange shots with any other heavyweight, but at times the only punch he throws is the jab pretty much. A lot of people complain and says that hes boring, but its a part of his style he throws that jab to keep fighters away from his chin. What is interesting about this matchup is how these guys throw jabs. Eddie Chambers throws the jab to get points on scorecardsd. Wladimir throws the jabs to back fighters off. Interestingly fighters tend to throw the jab to set up the knockout or set up a big punch. I see Wladimir Klitschko winning this fight for too many reasons. The reach advantage, height, punching power, agility, and overall ring knowledge and generalship just to name a few. Eddie Chambers does not have the power to back Wladimir off, but Wladimir has the power in those jabs to make Eddie Chambers back off. This fight will not be action packed it will be a text book and tactical fight. It will be a chess match pretty much you have a boxer with great boxing ability across the ring with a boxer with great boxing ability along with power in his jabs. Wladimir Klitschko takes this fight unanimous decision
