American Heavyweight 'Fast' Eddie Chambers Goes From 'Timid' to 'Tiger'

On July 4, America's independence Day, "Fast" Eddie Chambers was handing Ukrainian Alexander Dimitrenko his first loss in 30 bouts before a crowd partisan to Dimitrenko in Hamburg, Germany.

It was Chambers' fifth consecutive win since a January 2008 setback against Russian Alexander Povetkin. And the symbolism is not lost on Chambers, America's best shot at a heavyweight champion.

"I hear that a ton from my fans, like, 'You're the only one who is gonna do it.' It was important for me to go over there and show my skills," said Chambers, who defeated Dimitrenko the day before the latter's 27th birthday. "Beating Dimitrenko, you know, I realize what it did for the United States and our hopes of having a world champion again."

Eddie Chambers Destroys Alexander Dimitrenko, Wins by Majority Decision



The video above shows the announcement of the scores at the end of Saturday night's heavyweight fight between Eddie Chambers and Alexander Dimitrenko in Germany. If you don't speak German and you're wondering what led the crowd to start booing lustily, it was the announcement that one judge scored the bout -- which Chambers completely dominated -- as a draw. So Chambers won by majority decision, rather than the seemingly obvious unanimous decision. And that points, once again, to just how bad the judging can be in boxing.
