The leader after two weeks of play is thenonpareil with 39 points.

Klitschko Puts Chambers & Viewers To Sleep

Wladimir Klitschko just might be the most reluctant knockout artist in the history of boxing.
Finally, after dominating a completely out-gunned Eddie Chambers for eleven mind-numbingly dull rounds, Klitschko decided it was safe to open up, and was able to finish the fight in the final seconds with a rather sweet turn of his left fist. His fans can add another bit to the "Dr. Steel Hammer" highlight video, but I'd rather whine about having to watch him peck at and lay on a thoroughy beaten cruiserweight for way longer than necessary.

Wladimir Klitschko vs Eddie Chambers Preview

Michael Nelson previews today's heavyweight clash between Wladimir Klitschko and Eddie Chambers.
There's a large contingent that maintains there's going to be more than one replay of last weekend's lukewarm bout between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey. Before Saturday night's HBO rebroadcast of the disappointing mega-event, similar circumstances will surround today's heavyweight match-up in Germany when "Fast" Eddie Chambers clashes with the heavily-favored Wladimir Klitschko (which, incidentally, will not be shown on HBO).
Chambers, they expect, will be the defensive specialist with a punch output too meek to be competitive. Wladimir Klitschko will be the dominant practitioner, handcuffing his opponent with his superior physical talents.
Two things may prove the comparison faulty.
One, Rob Murray Sr. is an accomplished trainer far more experienced than Clottey's trainer Lenny De Jesus, a substitute for Godwin Kotey. Eight months ago, Murray's knowledge combined with Chamber's skill culminated in a well-executed gameplan to strafe Alexander Dimitrenko along the ropes with creative combinations. Other added wrinkles in the 27 year old's game included punching Dimitrenko's left arm whenever he used it as a measuring tool, consistently hooking off the jab, and serving a steady diet of right hands to the body.

British Scene: Martin Lindsay vs Jamie Arthur Preview

Dave Oakes previews Friday night's British featherweight title match-up between champion Martin Lindsay and challenger Jamie Arthur.
Martin Lindsay makes the long awaited first defence of his British featherweight title on Friday night when he faces former top class amateur, Jamie Arthur.
Lindsay, 15-0 (6KO’s), won the title in sensational fashion last April when he stopped the unbeaten champion Paul Appleby in the sixth round. The normally composed Lindsay was dragged into a war by Appleby and responded by bettering the Scot at his own game. The impetus swung back and forth until Lindsay landed a sense scrambling right hand that hurt the champion, the follow-up punches had Appleby pinned against the ropes and left the referee with no alternative but to wave the fight off.
