SHOBOX WEIGH-IN (PHOTOS) CHAMBERS-GUINN ( )
Undefeated rising heavyweight prospect "Fast" Eddie Chambers (L) of Philadelphia weighed in at 214 pounds on Thursday. The 25-year-old Chambers (28-0, 16 ko's) will fight his toughest opponent to date when he meets tested veteran heavyweight Dominick "The Southern Disaster" Guinn of Houston, who weighed 222 pounds, in a 10-round bout in the main event of Friday's ShoBox: The New Generation (SHOWTIME, 11 p.m. ET/PT) from the Pearl Theatre at Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

another crossroads fight for Guinn?::

 

I got Chambers via decision, Guinn was at one time touted as being the savior of the HW division

 

Guinn can win this....but after a few wins, he is prime for another letdown...


Eddie Chambers by UD....

 

I hate to say it, but I like crappy heavyweights better than I like top heavyweights. My faves:

• Michael Grant: I went to college with him.
• Al Cole: When asked why he was moving up to heavyweight, he said, "Lou Savarese got to fight George Foreman."
• Dominick Guinn: Every now and then, his combos do look spectacular.
• Corrie Sanders: Best 3-round fighter since Mike Tyson.
• Corey Sanders: Because he sucks.
• Mike Tyson: The most exciting crap heavyweight eva'!
• Evander Holyfield: Second to Tyson, but he wins bouts now and then.
• Oliver McCall: He's one win away from being back in the top 20.
• Lou Savarese: While MMA fighters spend their whole lives dedicating themselves to their art, only to make $3000 on some UFC pay-per-view, Savarese totally sucked, yet he made more than an entire UFC pay-per-view purse.
• Davarryl Williamson: When Wlad sued Chris Byrd for fighting Williams instead of him, Williamson said, "okay, why don't we have a rematch for the vacant #1 spot?" Wlad turned even whiter, and lost the case.

 

Guinn looked AWESOME preparing for this fight, this by far is the best camp I ever seen him in, bar none.



I think he will win












I hope :doh:

 

"I know this will be the final opportunity for me. This time I am serious"

- Guinn after losing this one and fighting some new scrub

 

Why doesn't Showtime have any fights on Saturday. Is it not the first Saturday of the month?

 

Does this question really need to be asked?

Look who they would be competing with. ::

 

As often as he crossed roads, you´d figure he was run over by a bus by now, especially since he´d probably be too lazy to move out of the way.

 

Eaner and I were talking about this yesterday, how we thought we were the last two long-suffering diehard Guinn fans on the planet. Not sure why I'm a fan of his, as I usually detest fighters of his style. But for some reason, he's always been right there with Lamon Brewster as my favorite heavyweight.

I guess it's my affinity for watching train wrecks - as far as Guinn goes anyway.

 

:: My father and I were both huge on Guinn... I remember being really disapointed when he lost to Barrett... and again when he lost to SL. Since, I've stopped caring.

 

I have to go with pug here, Guinn looked to be in tremendous condition and very confident when I saw him last work in the gym, and at Lou Savareses' fight last month.
I tried to get him to talk some technique with me, in particular setting up the right hand for Chambers, and he replied "I'm gonna do it all."
He's in shape, I know that much and included some photos of him sparring when I did my report on my former website.

 

Win or lose, Guinn is going nowhere and I can't stand him. The guy just is not a fighter. The fact that he can fight doesn't mean he OUGHT to fight. The guy doesn't have the mentality of a fighter. He is tough. He has taken some beating and refused to quit, but he just has no fight in him. He never fights back. The guy fights like Hopkins. He acts as if they will deduct 1000 dollars of his purse per punch thrown.

 

Who gives a fuck about these 2 fighters...Chris is the main fight tonight.:bears:

 

Is anyone gonna do the blow by blow?
First up is Chris vs Malcolm Tann.
Chris was a real good amateur, but I don't know as a pro.

 

damn west coast...ill have a rbr 3 hours from now if need be.....yeah Karl u might as well do it if u can::

 

Ok, I will give it a shot

 

It's allChris throught he first two rounds as he shook up Tann with winging rights, but he really needs to do his homework on the situp table, though.

 

It's all Chris but Tann got in a couple of short shots that round.
If I were in charge of training Chris I would have him doing 30 minutes of upper and lower body isometrics 5 days a week.

 

Chris KO'd Tann in round eight, looked sharp

 

Impressive win for Arreola, put himin with Chambers and you have a real Shobox main event.

 

Sometimes I think Boxing is run by a bunch of clowns. Have you ever seen two NFL, NBA or football teams wear the same jerseys in a game? Yet here they are both wearing the exact same black and red trunks. :notallthere: :notallthere:

 

AgREED.

 

These guys might not be going anywhere career wise, but they are two very SKILLED heavyweights.....

 

It is about even, IMO.

 

No..really Guinn take your time... ..you have all fucking day.

 

Chambers UD. Two judges had in a shutout.

 

97-93 Chambers seems accurate, 100-90 :notallthere: :notallthere: :notallthere:

Some things never change. ::

 

Adelaide Byrd turns in another stellar scorecard. ::
