Last week, viewers of Klitschko-Gomez got to see yet another boring fight in the heavyweight division, something that has become the norm in recent years. ESPN is back this week with another heavyweight fight, but even though Sam Peter and Eddie Chambers haven’t stepped into the ring yet, the matchup has already disappointed anybody who’s seen the results of the weighi n. There were rumors during the past few months that Peter’s team wasn’t happy with his training habits and the rumors appear to be true since Peter has come in at a disgraceful all time high, 265 pounds.
I would favor Chambers to win a close decision over a top conditioned Peter like the one we saw in the Wlad fight, so it’s hard for me to see anything other than a huge beatdown for Peter tonight when he’ll be fighting in the worst shape of his career. I will be surprised if Peter even lasts the distance.
In top shape, Peter would have a lot of trouble landing meaningful punches against Chambers and would need to outwork him to win rounds. So at 265 where Peter is bound to have major stamina and workrate problems, all he could hope for is stopping Chambers with an early assault, something highly unlikely since Chambers has a solid defensive guard and is very comfortable dealing with pressure.
