"Fast" Eddie Has More Than Speed Up His Sleeve

"What will surprise Guinn is how strong I am on the inside."

BoxingTalk: Eddie, you have a tough fight coming up against Dominick Guinn on May 4th.  How is preparation going for that fight?

Eddie Chambers:  It’s been good.  I going to camp in Florida to spar with some good fighters and get well prepared.

BoxingTalk:  What are your thoughts as Guinn as a fighter?

Eddie Chambers:  He’s a pretty sound fighter technically.  Sometimes he weighs a little too much, but he’s pretty good.  Guinn can still can come up and be a force in this division anytime, so I know I’ll have my work cut out for me.

BoxingTalk:  Last time we saw you in action, you stopped the previously undefeated Derrick Rossey.  How do you feel that win will help you against Guinn?

Eddie Chambers:  Guinn is a decent boxer and he comes forward a lot.  I know he’s going to be aggressive early, and I know that he can probably handle what I bring.

BoxingTalk: What do you feel will be your biggest advantage when facing Guinn?

Eddie Chambers:  First off, my speed.  I’m pretty fast, and Guinn is not a big mover.  He’s not sluggish, but he just doesn’t move around much.  What will surprise him though is how strong I am on the inside.

BoxingTalk: How will you train differently for this fight compared to your fight against Rossey?

Eddie Chambers:  I train hard for all of my fights. I’m always in shape and always ready.

BoxingTalk:  Looking at the opposition the both of you have faced, it is easy to tell that this is a big step up for you.  Do you feel you have what it takes to go up against Guinn at this point in your career?

Eddie Chambers:  Of course.  This step is necessary for me to take.  I can fight anyone in this division, and I’m ready for anyone. I’ll have to face them eventually. This will just be one of the tougher guys I have to face on my way up. 

BoxingTalk:  What can we expect from Eddie Chambers on May 4th?

Eddie Chambers:  The same thing you’ve seen before, but with more movement than before.  I can stand toe to toe with Guinn if I have to, but you’ll see more boxing from me, as well has my speed and surprising power.
