CHAMBERS TOO FAST FOR PETER

(From March 27 - From Sportinglife.com)
========================
'Fast' Eddie Chambers beat Sam Peter with a majority decision after their 10-round heavyweight encounter at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles on Friday.

It was a workmanlike performance from Chambers (34-1 with 18 KOs) who just edged the competitive bout with Peter (30-3 with 23 KOs).

Jabs were aplenty in the opening two rounds before Peter had Chambers on the ropes in the third.

It was pretty tight after four rounds but from then on Chambers began to fight more effectively and he dominated the closing stages.

The judges scored the fight 95-95, 96-94, and 99-91 in favour of Chambers.

Chambers was delighted with his performance. He told the Los Angeles Times afterwards: "The jab worked great. I slipped his punches, worked for it. I also jabbed a lot to his body. I had him leery of that.

"A lot of people didn't think a puncher could hold off a big, strong guy like that, but I proved I could."
