Chambers outpoints Peter!


By Rocco Morales at ringside

IBF #3 heavyweight Eddie Chambers (34-1, 18 KOs) won a ten round majority decision over former heavyweight champion Sam Peter (30-3, 23 KOs) on Friday nigbt at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The quicker Chambers did a little more than the sluggish Peter, who came in at a career high of 265 pounds, but was reluctant to engage in sustained attacks against the big-punching ex-champ. Scores were 95-95, 96-94, 99-91. It was Peter’s first fight since losing his world title against Vitali Klitschko.
