“Fast” Eddie Chambers vs Alexander Dimitrenko Fight Results… Eddie Victorious, Hits Dimitrenko & World With Fireworks on the 4th of July ‘09…!!!


Saturday July 4th, 2009

“Fast” Eddie Chambers is celebrating his Independence Day abroad in Germany following his spectacular disassembly of the Ukraine’s latest export in robotics, Alexander “Sasha” Dimitrenko. Unlike the last time “Fast” Eddie put hands on someone named “Sasha,” he didn’t fade late in the night and walk away with a broken heart, rather he made Alexander look more like he was named Sasha at birth, by beating him like he stole something at several points during their battle.

Chambers’ fine defensive skills were on display for all to see, as he blocked most everything thrown at him. Eddie fell victim to no combination punches, as Sasha was limited to landing only one punch at best with each flurry. Chambers on the other hand was able to put several connects at a time together over the course of the fight, and stalked the much larger Dimitrenko for the entirety of the bout, showing a massive improvement in both footwork and activity. Eddie had success several times in the battle at Color Line Arena in Hamburg, with a punch that looked like a modified right cross-hook, and an uppercut that would surely put a contender his own size into a neck brace. At one point Dimitrenko was dropped by a punch that sent his mouth piece flying across the ring, and at another point ran away after being hit which resulted in the referee rightly calling a KD. “Fast” Eddie, outweighted by 50 lbs and on foreign soil managed to score two knockdowns, in the 7th and 10th rounds respectively, and to take a piece of Dimitrenko’s heart…the boxing world will have to wait to take stock of how much is left.

Alexander landed a few meaningful punches in the fight, which really only highlighted the durability of the much smaller Chambers. In the interest of fairness, it must be stated that Dimitrenko fought a close round in the 9th and some reasonable observers have given him up to 3 rounds total.

An interesting sidebar into this fight though, is that the skill and intensity exhibited by Chambers actually resulted in Dimitrenko pulling a couple of tricks out of John “Quiet Man” Ruiz’ bag. When hit on the belt line, Sasha immediately started wincing like a Tijuana whore that didn’t bring the pesos back to papi. No doubt looking for a low blow call, which the honorable official Genaro Rodriguez was having no part of. In another instance, when hit with a clean punch on the waistline just above the lateral oblique region he turned his back acting as if he were hit with a kidney punch, touching himself there, as if to massage his imaginary wounds.

Now that Chambers has effectively dealt with the man who was annointed to be “the next Klitschko” in the WBO rankings, don’t be surprised if a couple of program modifications are made and some hardware is replaced on KLiT 3.0, or perhaps a new engineer is sought. Maybe under Manny Steward, a similar robotic reconstruction could be accomplished to his refurbishing of Wladimir Klitschko. When Wlad gave up Fritz Sdunek, who Dimitrenko is currently with, and submitted to Uncle Manny’s redesign he entered the promised land. Should he stay with Fritz however, he’ll no doubt continue to prove that a PRIME Creed beats a prime Drago, every time.

“Fast” Eddie Chambers under 210lbs and hungry, brings a level of intensity and a sense of urgency into the ring that the previous version lacked. Chambers may end up turning out to be the Great American Heavyweight Boxing Hope yet, though the event in Germany was a credit to the entire sport world wide, with the rightful victor’s hand being raised…and America’s Heavyweight Division declaring it’s Independence on this 4th of July from German corruption, and Eastern Bloc dominance.

When Eddie last appeared at OnThEGRiND BoXiNG RaDIo, he said he had to go back to Germany which he considered a return to “The Lion’s Den,” in order to right a wrong and prove to the world what the real Eddie Chambers can do.

233 years after the proverbial fireworks first exploded in the birthplace of “Fast” Eddie Chambers, Philadelphia’s favorite son has exploded onto the international heavyweight boxing scene. Happy 4th of July Eddie, you made your country and the sport proud.

  3. Way to go Eddie. Also worth looking at on the 4th of July is this from Ted Nugent.

    NUGENT: ‘It’s Independence Day, But Only For Those Of Us Who Refuse To Be Eaten By Fedzilla’ - July 4, 2009

    “As the stunned and defeated British army marched out of Yorktown, their band appropriately played the song ‘A World Turned Upside Down’.

    “Our forefathers pledged their lives and fortunes to fight and defeat the world’s mightiest army and give birth to America. Our victory over King George was the greatest military upset in the annals of human history. George Washington believed our amazing victory was a result of divine providence.

    “The dream of limited government, personal freedom and liberty, rugged individualism, and self-sufficiency that our forefathers fought and died for is rapidly disappearing in 2009. It is once again a world turned upside down.

    “Our federal government is turning into the very type of heavy-handed, unaccountable, and disrespectful government our forefathers despised, fought against, and warned us to avoid. Too few Americans know and appreciate this critically important piece of American history. Shame on them.

    “Instead of heeding the warnings of our forefathers, we have embraced big government and both political parties have been more than happy to give it to us over the past 45 years, thereby making us more dependent on Fedzilla — the federal beast with a voracious appetite for our tax dollars, and intentionally creating dependency and control. We are once again becoming subjects, not citizens.

    “Fedzilla is the most unresponsive, unaccountable, bloated and ineffective bureaucratic nightmare the world has ever witnessed. It punishes the producers and risk-takers while rewarding the simpletons it has conned into believing it is helping. Fedzilla is the enemy of the free market and freedom.

    “Instead of allowing the free market to correct itself, Fedzilla meddles in the free market and makes things worse. I give you Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Using our tax dollars, Fedzilla has purchased General Motors, and bailed out AIG and other financial institutions.

    “Fedzilla pushed through an unauthorized trillion-dollar economic stimulus bill that not one elected representative read before voting on it. Regardless what legal nuance or loophole some Fedzillacrat lawyer could point to in our constitution or court decision that allows for such grotesque meddling and spending, I adamantly believe this level of federal meddling and control was not the dream of our forefathers.

    “And guess what? It’s not working. Our economy would recover more and faster if Congress repealed the phony ’stimulus’ and get out of the way of free market capitalism.

    “In the latest of initiatives that ‘we must solve immediately,’ President Obama wants to Fedzillarize the health-care industry. Placing your health and trust in the bureaucratic hands of Fedzilla is analogous to asking a drunk driver for a ride. Fedzilla will destroy your health. It creates cancer, does not cure it.

    “We are witnessing what large government will do to its citizens and to itself if left virtually unchecked. Due to unsustainable and out-of-control ‘budgets,’ the state of California is on verge of a financial meltdown. Other states such as New York are not far behind. Fedzilla will ultimately collapse under its own weight because the socialism model it is built upon is ultimately unsustainable. However, the social, economic, and cultural carnage it will cause to America until it collapses will be catastrophic. Free men and women are horrified.

    “Higher taxes and more government ultimately lead to economic genocide. Alternatively, lower taxes, less government, and more independence lead to prosperity for all who are willing to take advantage of it. Our forefathers who threw the tea over the side of the ship in Boston Harbor knew this. The people who attended the Tea Parties this past April know it. Do you?

    “Sometime during your Dependence Day celebration, you should take a few moments and read the Declaration of Independence aloud to your children, relatives and guests. Read it slowly and let the words sink in. When finished, reflect for a moment on our forefathers who bravely signed their names to it, thereby signing their own death warrant.

    “Think about that. They were willing to die for the chance at limited federal
    government, independence, freedom and liberty. They didn’t fight and die for freedom so you could have Fedzilla housing, food, transportation and health care.

    “To my fellow Americans who still cherish the dream of our founding fathers, I wish you a wonderful and Happy Independence Day. To those of you who are willing to compromise your liberty and freedom in the hopes that Fedzilla will provide you an artificial blanket of security, enjoy your Dependence Day.

    “I’m a free man — a citizen, not a subject — who still hears the distant ringing of the Liberty Bell. Don’t tread on me and I won’t be forced to Ted on you. Be forewarned: push me too far at your own peril.”
