Chambers Decisions Dimitrenko To Become WBO Heavyweight Mandatory



'Fast' Eddie Chambers won a majority decision against undefeated Alexander Dimitrenko in Hamburg, Germany last night to become mandatory challenger to Wladimir Klitschko's WBO Heavyweight title.

6'1 Chambers came in at 208 pounds, the lightest he has ever fought, against the 6'7, 253 pound Dimitrenko and did the job dropping the big Ukrainian twice and making quite light work of him at times.

Chambers dropped Dimitrenko with a body shot in the 7th round but it was a solid left right combination in the 10th round that appeared to wrap up the fight for Chambers. It crumbled the big man and sent his mouth piece flying but Dimitrenko rose to his feet and weathered the storm, survived the round.

The 12th ended with some good exchanges between the two fighters but Chambers getting the better of the action, taking the bout to the score cards.

The judges scored it 113-113 (!), 116-111 and 117-109 handing Chambers the victory, his second of the year after he beat Samuel Peter again by majority decision in March.
