Maybe. Klitschko fans may have got revenge but the KO they were looking for in the 7th round did not come. Emanuel predicted a 7th round knockout and the end of the 6th looked like one might be produced. It would have been a sweet birthday gift for Emanuel whose birthday falls on 7-7-07 this year.
Lamon's trainer told him he was going to stop the fight if he didn't produce. Here is the punch that finished it with 15 sec to go in the 6th:

If that isn't working try http://www.youtube.com/rikd7 then scroll down to the clip "Vlad's right that ended the fight".
Lamon's trainer stopped the fight before the 7th round to save his fighter from more heavy shots like that one. Lamon just didn't have the fire today that kept him going in the first fight.
as far as stating that he (klitschko) was the better man it was good.
but it was to onsided to be as entertaining as i hoped.
i hoped for a gruelling fight with lots off kds.
Wlad has really improved and I think he is in his prime right now. The Question is, who does he fight now? I think it should be either the winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev or Peter/Maskaev (Peter better beat him). I think Peter would have the best shot against Klitschko. Even thought Kilt beat Peter before, Peter appears to have improved his game as well and if he pressures Wlad enough he's got great power and might have a shot. I think Chagaev would have the second best shot. He already beat a bigger man (albeit less skilled) and He is also a hard puncher (and a lefty to boot, think Corrie Sanders). Other than that, I don't really see anyone who could give Klit much of a chance. Kind of like how prime Tyson didn't really have any worthy competition.
ready
Yeah you could see that he was not ready for Vlad. Maybe for some other fighter but clearly not for this fight.
I watched for a counter left hook from Lamon after Vlad threw the double jab
but his left was almost under his right armpit while he tried to block the jabs with his right. He then got hit with the big right because he was wide open for it. http://www.youtube.com/rikd7
scroll to vlad's right that ended the fight.
counter punch
Quote kiltchko seems afraid of all and any counter punches, lol he pops that jab and just waits for a counter for 3 minutes straight..
Yeah and in this case he jabbed, jabbed again, and then hit him with a right
that popped so loud:boxing: you could hear it over the commentary.
Turns out Vlad broke his middle finger during the fight and now has a cast to the elbow for 8 weeks. Maybe that's why we didn't hear as much pop when Lamon was hit with the left jab.
I thought Vlad could have hooked more with the left than he did. :boxing: The broken hand may have prevented what would certainly have been a good weapon for him in the fight.
brewster didnt have anything on wlad he couldnt touch the man
one sided domination i always go into watching a fight hoping i see a close one and this wasnt one
so ya id say i was a lil disappointed even tho wlad showed some real domination yesterday
Not boring at all... I actually heard that Wlad lost in unexciting fashion on this site before watching the fight...
So I was expecting that Wlad just threw nothing but his left jab and barely threw any rights to a decision against Brewster.
Watching the fight, it was much more exciting than that. He was so accurate and threw an amazing amount of 1-2s which includes that right hand. Wlad showed me that he really is a great boxer and doesn't need to pace himself Shannon Briggs style.
it was anti-climactic. wald was consistantly dominant, but he never really had a moment that put brewster on the edge of defeat. mcgirt stopped the fight because brewster took too much punishment (from the jabs) but not the kind of punishment we'd expect
im happy wlad won and won by TKO, but the TKO wasnt very satisfying. you could see that on wlad's face after the fight. he sort of shrugged like "what are you gonna do?"
Disappointed?
Maybe seeing a KO, or at last some KDs would have been more entertaining.
But to have a warrior like Relentless Lamon Brewster quit on his stool is a huge victory by itself.
I thought this fight was more competitive than the first 4 rounds of their first fight. Like Wlad said in the interview, he was able to land anything he threw at will.
This fight Lamon was doing a good job with the head side-to-side movements, which made Wlad miss some of those Jabs (and we all know when that Jab is thrown, IT LANDS) he also ducked from some of those monstrous rights Wlad threw and was able to land some great body punches, where even I felt Wlad's ribs (ouch)
Anyway.. Wlad is Head and Shoulders above the rest (no pun intended) and will outclass any world class fighter :boxing:
Personally I love seeing a guy get jabbed to death and if the fight went on Brewster would have gotten hurt. I wasn't disappointed, some people may not like boxers but I love seeing them fight.
brewster was so static and so easy to hit with the jab but i think wlad should have tried to go for the kill. he hardly threw any uppercuts and right hands he needed to open up on brewster and he would have knocked him out
I thought it was a horrible fight. I don't know if Wlad became THAT good but it looked like Brewster just didn't have ANYTHING. He tried to rush Wlad twice and paid the price by Wlad landing a few huge right hands right when Brewster opened up. I expected a lot more out of this fight, Brewster just fucking quit and he's never done that before. Like I said, either Wlad became that good or Liakhovich fucked Brewster up for good. Good performance by Wlad, horrible by Brewster.
I didn't understand it at all. Klitschko hurt Brewster way more in just 2 rounds in the first fight than he did in 6 this time. Me and my brother were so dissappointed with Brewster. We didn't think he'd win, but we thought he was just trying to hang around til the 8th round or so to make his move. Instead, he just quits on his stool. No resistance whatsoever. I'm guessing that detached retina has him thinking about his life now. Whatever. Not Klitschko's fault at all.
I thought we'd get some excitement in just two more rounds (Klitschko knocking Brewster down, maybe out once Brewster made his move), but Buddy pulled the plug, and Brewster agreed. Weak stuff.
