Golota Brewster Press conference

Brewster-Golota Chicago presser! April 15, 2005 Photos: Julio Mora -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adamek, King, Briggs Suarez, King, MAGO Wells, King, Garcia Quotes from today's press conference at the United Center in Chicago (April 14, 2005). Lamon Brewster: "I wasn't going to say much but sometimes you have to say what's in your heart. I haven't had an easy road. I've had many obstacles to overcome to get to where I am today: emotionally, physically and spiritually. I love Chicago. Where I grew up there was only one building and it made me reach for more in life than to be a factory worker in Indiana. That's why it's great that I'm defending my title in the Midwest city that I always dreamed of living up to. Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world, all the way back to Jack Johnson, who made his home here. I owe it all to the Midwest. To just come from down the street and fight here, we don't get opportunities like this where I'm from. Don King took a chance on me when he didn't have to. Andrew Golota is a force to be reckoned with and he's going to bring his "A" game. I'm not Ali and I'm not going to pick this round or that. I'm going to give 100% on fight night and if they take me out on a stretcher, I will still have the belt around my waist. Ali said, 'The only way to be great is to fight good opponents.'" Andrew Golota: "I would like to thank everyone for their support for all of these years, especially my family. Chicago is a great city. I've made my home here for the last 15 years. And all I can say is that Chicago needs a heavyweight world champion." Brewster beat one of the best heavyweights out there—Klitschko. But this time I can't leave it in the judges' hands. I will knock Lamon Brewster out." Don King: "We are bringing big-time boxing back to Chicago after 24 years. We put over 22,000 people in the stands in St. Louis and my good friend Bill Wirtz has assured me that the record will not stand. We will have over 23,000 in attendance on May 21. This is the battle of Chicago… Border War!" Jesse Reid (Brewster's trainer): "He was 18 the first time I met him . I always stayed in contact and now I get a chance to finish it. I look at his great spirit and great body and think of wonderful things. Sam Colonna (Golota's trainer): I've been asking for a fight in Chicago for a long time and it's finally here. Andrew is in great shape and is training very hard. Come May 21, you will see a new heavyweight champion of the world, Andrew Golota." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050414/483/cx10304142118 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050414/ids_photos_sp/r822288658.jpg

Brewster sucks no doubt. He will see what it is like to get dominated by a fighter that won't pass out in the ring. Golota will win this fight convincingly.

You do realize that he is the real Tony Tucker and that he will drive to your house in the dead of the night, pull you kicking and screaming from your bed, and kick your ass right? The guy is retired and has nothing better to do. You better watch out, that's all I'm gonna say.

I see Golata trying to come on strong early and when he realizes he can't KO the iron chinned Brewster that Wlady gassed out on, he will lose control and do something dumb in a later round, dq'ing himself I think Golotas cured My opinion is based on that Ruiz fight...I don't get it, how did he not low blow john ruiz at all, or bite him.....AMAZING!...Later brother brologs

everybody thinks golota beat byrd and ruiz, so if brewster win he's the champ right Golota clearly beat Byrd. There is no queston about it 8-4 or Byrd won 5 rounds at most. He did not do anything in that fight except sit on the ropes and absorb body that were clearly hurting and occasional clean blows to the head. Golota would have beat Byrd by MD but Melvina Latham gave Byrd round 12 and that decided it. Anybody that has seen Golota vs Byrd and thinks Byrd won round 12 is most likely blind. Round 12 was one of the most descicive rounds of the fight for either fighter. Golota totally dominated it. Plus those occasion where Byrd touched the canvas cringing from body shots should have been callled knockdowns. However I think Ruiz deserved the descision over Golota.
