What can be said about Sam Peters at this point that hasn't been spouted by fans and boxing heads around the world?The 'Nigerian nightmare' lost to 'Fast'Eddie Chambers on majority decision after a 10 round fight on Friday night.
Peters went into the fight at his heaviest since turning pro, a sluggish 265lbs and in hindsight that may have not been the smartest decision for a heavyweight fighter known for a combination of sluggishness, laziness and a lack of skill on the canvas.
With both fighters looking to move back up the Heavyweight rankings, Peters came out with a somewhat ridiculous fight plan as he decided to put his big punch power aside and try to outpoint Chambers. Chambers put up a decent fight defensively but wasn't tested much as Peters barely threw any heavy punches at his opponent. The end result was a fight scored 96-94 and 99-91 in favour of Chambers.
Next up for Peters, one hopes will be some sort of diet and a bit of Cardio for the former champ.
