Exclusive Interview: Lamon Brewster Part II
By James Alden (B0xingtalk)
"I'm really going to hurt Wladimir this time around!"
JA: Who do you have on your hit list that you want to fight or you just want to fight anybody?
LB: My thing is title unification. They can do all this talking but if your not unifying the titles it don’t make sense.
JA: Do you think that it’s all talk or do you think that people are going to sit down and discuss this?
LB: Well if they don’t then that means there afraid that there fighter is going to get knocked out. Talk is cheap; I don’t want to hear any Heavyweight that has a title saying that they're the best Heavyweight out there and won’t unify the titles. I mean honestly, how can you say that you’re the best fighter in the world and you won’t fight another man for the title?
JA: Is it easier making a fight under the same promoter or is it much harder to do?
LB: It’s definitely a lot easier because the promoter has nothing to lose.
JA: Would you ever fight your cousin Chris? Have you ever talked to him about doing something like that?
LB: Yeah. Our agreement is that we will fight after one of us captures another title. It doesn’t make sense for us to fight right now.
JA: Would it be harder fighting your own cousin?
LB: Nah because he explained to me that he will fight me as hard as he would fight anybody else.
JA: So when do you think we can see you in the ring again next? Early 2006?
LB: Yeah I’m looking to get back in the ring in around March, that’s where I got my mindset. I don’t know man, they keep talking about Wladmir Klitchko on the internet. I think that I’m going to go after him. People are saying that I never really beat Wladimir and he’s trying to call me out so now I think I’m really going to hurt him. The first time that I fought him I wasn’t right because I was still trying to get over the death of my trainer and not hearing his voice in the corner. Now I’m dealing with business in the worst way. I’m hungry, I’m really hungry and I can’t wait to tear these fighters up. He fought Samuel Peter and he beat Samuel Peter on a lack of experience. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to take anything away from Wladimir, I think that he’s the better of the two brothers. I still think that he can beat 90% of the fighters out there but I feel that he didn’t give me the credit that I deserve after I beat him. Just for the simple fact that he didn’t give me the respect I deserve I’m really going to hurt him this time around.
JA: Are you mad at the fact that he used the excuse that he got dehydrated after four rounds?
LB: He was talking about vaseline or baby oil or something on his arms, I put that on for every fight. Hey he was throwing a lot of punches to keep me off; if you look at all the punches he was throwing, he never threw that many punches in any fight. He had to throw them punches because he doesn’t have any defense except for holding or running from me. You saw what happened when he stood in front of me. Anybody can throw a thousand punches and the minute I turned it around and turned it on him he didn’t want to fight no more. Now that I’m right it’s going to be ugly, it going to brutal.
JA: Worse than the first time?
LB: Oh my gosh he wont be able to do all that stuff. I stood up straight most of the fight and covered up and put pressure on him. Now it’s going to be different. My head is into the game now and I’m over the mourning of my trainer.
JA: So the death of your trainer had a huge impact on your performance during the fight.
LB: Well the thing was why am I going to go out there and throw all those punches that he’s been throwing, for what? My thing was to take him into the deep rounds where I knew he was going to be tired anyways. With the exception of my defense standing right up I knew that he was going to be throwing a lot of punches. I was hitting him with some body shots he was not used to getting hit with. As you noticed he wasn’t running from me as much and I knocked him out.
JA: Is there anything that you want to say to your fans out there on Boxingtalk.com?
LB: Yeah I would like to say A. I appreciate everybody that acknowledges me and B. I can’t take criticism. I know the fights that I’ve had in the past have been good and I want to say that I've shown a lot of heart and taken a lot of shots that I shouldn’t have taken. But now you can expect to see the best Lamon Brewster coming. I would like to thank all my fans for supporting me and continue to keep watching me!
of course you do, because he has been whispering it in your ear everynight while he pounds you from behind. mmmm yeah, leo i gonna beat brewster this time, thats right yeah ohoohhhhh!!!!!!!!
dude u are a fag redneck, lets bet 5 million points come on fool step up, if this fight happens i got 5 mil on wlad, put em up biiiiiiiatch...
If he was a big draw they would have, but he isn't. Say what you want about Andrew Golota. Even as a has been he sells pay-per-views and puts asses in seats.
Not knocking Golota, I'm actually a fan. IMO - It's time for him to hang'em up though.
There are several "non-PPV" venues that they could have played Brewster's last fight. And losts of people on BS complained that it wasn't televised in the US.
After he knocked out Andrew Golota, American boxing fans like me seemed eager to see more of Lamon Brewster. I don't know what they were thinking not finding a way to .

Brewster's a real class act, one of the good guys. I will be rooting for him no matter who he fights, unless it's Wlad.

Hopefully, they don't continue to make that mistake.
Brewster's fight against Krasniqui was probably the most exciting bout I've seen him in. However, Krasniqui is a relatively mediocre fighter by World Championship standard and he was giving Brewster all he could handle, winning most of the rounds until Brewster landed a perfect left hook bomb I belive in the 8th or 9th round.
I dont mean to say it was a total shutout until Brewster landed his big left hook but he was being fairly thouroughly outboxed. You always have to give Brewster a chance with his vicious left hook, ability to withstand punishment, and heart. On paper Wlad should walk straight through Brewster, but then triangular logic is often proven wrong, and Brewster like I said has the intangibles to make things interesting against virtually any opponent.
...Good fucking post McKay!!!!!

i really dont think brewster gonna win this fight...Wlad has good offence also good defense and tha good thing is he could last 12 rounds... brewster will not knockdown wlad again... i say wlad will win by knockout in tha 6th or prob sooner
wlad is one stong muthafucka lol
if wlad doesnt shoot his load all over brewsters face to early liek he did last time, or get drugged again whatever happened he could win by late KO
if wlad shoots his load on brewsters face i'm sure that you will be there as the tug man.
I got a good feeling that klitschko will win....
...I think he was very disappointed in his own performance in the Peter fight. He got the win but I think the rabbit punch induced knockdowns pissed him off and made him feel kind of shitty. IMO you will see an even better Wlad in his next fight. He needs to be slightly more agressive than in the Peter fight but still not blow his load. If he is catiously agressive he will take Brewster out this time and he will do it within 8.
I got a good feeling that klitschko will win....
of course you do, because he has been whispering it in your ear everynight while he pounds you from behind. mmmm yeah, leo i gonna beat brewster this time, thats right yeah ohoohhhhh!!!!!!!!
...Didn't you say his career was over if he fought Peter? You said Peter was the heir apparent and the guy to clean out the heavies. I guess one day you might be right.I got a good feeling that klitschko will win....
Klitschko will end his career if he ever dares to get in the ring with brewster once more. Manny Steward can pump wladiqueer up all he wants, but he can't fight for him. the first solid punch brewster lands will be all she wrote

nope, u are wrong im willing to bet with u also a mil on klitschko????
a mil points????
Brewster has more stamina, comparable punching power and chin, and puts punches together WAYYYY better than Peter.
Wlad can be the smartest guy in the world, he's still one punch away from queer street at all times.
That will be a big disadvantage against a confident and hungry Brewster, who will be looking to drop him from the 1st bell.
i agree, but wlad is just as equally hungry as brewster hes regarded now as the worse klitschko, and hes is the only one left now that vitali is gone, he wants to be the best again, even if he will go through hell he knows that he needs to win this fight, brewster gets hit a lot and that has been proven in most of his fights accept that golota fight, wlad hits hard man these guys are big one good shot by wlad and brewster can be done. If this fight happens I think wlad has a great chance at winning, hes got everything to loose and a lot to gain that is why it will be a great fight...

This fight will go the distance. Klitchko is too cautious to allow Brewster to land a huge shot like he did on Krasniqi. Brewster doesnt have the brute strength that Peter has so he"ll have to be more accurate to land on Wlad.
As exciting as Brewster is, I dont think he'll be able to overcome the new cautious Klittchko. Better movement and the ability to keep Brewster off with the jab will lead to a Klitchko UD.
Unless Brewster lands a big shot like he did against Krasniqi, this will the distance
If you had a hundred million points, I would bet u that this fight will most definently not go the distance, no matter who wins.
