Klitschko KO’s Chambers In 12th Round
Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) won his 12th straight bout, scoring a late 12th round knockout over “Fast” Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KO’s) to retain his IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles. Klitschko controlled much of the action for the entire fight by utilizing a powerful left jab that Chambers could not get past. Chambers struggled to get his punches off before Klitschko, and was forced to cover up most of the bout. Chambers was more active than some of Klitschko’s previous opponents, but he was unable to sustain a consistent offensive attack to defeat the Ukranian giant.
In the opening round, Chambers jabbed at Klitschko’s body and used many angles. Then, Chambers tried to land right hands over Klitschko’s jab, although he was unsuccessful. Klitschko started to push Chambers back with his stiff left jab. In round two, Chambers still tried to land overhand rights, but got rocked when Klitschko connected with a punishing straight right behind the jab. With Chambers momentarily wobbled, Klitschko landed a left hook - right hand combination to Chambers’ head. Chambers’ back was against the ropes, but he managed to finish the round on his feet.
