he had lots of great fights but i can see why hes done now.he took alot of bombs in his career....my biggest question was he hired jesse reid as his trainer & he destroyed golota & knocked out krasniqi impressively & then he replaced him with buddy mcgirt & lost to liakhovich & got killed by wlad in the rematch...inactivity was a problem but man he looked good with reid.reid made him go on offence instead of taking 3 punches to land 1....must be a reason for the change but it didnt work
Watch the fight again without being biased and you can clearly see Wlad spent every ounce of his energy. When you're tired, you get hurt easier, and while Wlad wasn't knocked out he was gassed out to the point that he couldn't continue.
He was too worried in the first fight about keeping Brewster off of him. Second fight, he fought perfectly.im not bias,you are...ive watch this fight several times & a combo of the 2 punches & exhaution were the reasons.brewster was done too but survived but wlad couldnt
Nah, Brewster was done in the 1st Wlad fight, How he won that fight is still a shock to me because he took sooo many shots before he cameback+ Wlad gassing out etc
brewster was definately done but still the combo is what sealed it & yes wlad was done in by exhaustion but the 2 punch combo sealed it

Just watching this last couple rounds again, you can see after Wlad knocked Brewster down, instead of pacing himself and waiting for the knockout, he blew his entire load. By 6:37, he is completely tired, it's obvious.

I am going to have to watch that fight again. Wladimir gassed hard, and that's atypical of him. I don't think Brewster did anything or acceded to anything anyone else might have done, but that seems to be just the kind of thing don king would do.
I gotta give props to Brewster for giving Wlad a rematch, though. Wlad was dangerous even in the first fight.watch it & at the end of 5 the right left combo rocked wlad...but it was wlad who wanted to avenge the loss & made a voluntary ibf title defence vs lamon following the austin fight.i just watched it an hour ago...wlad did not recover
i disagree completely...brewster rocked him with a straight right ,left hook combo at the end of the 5th that got a standing 8 count.he was done after that.the ropes held him up...wlad had a history of punching himself out & if you watch brewster fight his inside left hook was comparible to david tua's....he got rocked & has been down 13 times in his career....wlad just made excuses...i give him credit because he changed his style right after that fight & hasn't lost since...that night there was no shady stuff,he just got caught by a beautiful left hook he never saw coming & he was exhausted.he was throwing 80 punches a round.

Brewster had a tough beard and a stong punch, good champion. I am not into conspiracy theories but I think Wlad is telling the truth that he felt poisoned the first fight. I mean he was beating Brewster from pillar to post and all of a sudden gets tired. I wouldn't put it past DK to do something shady like that. Here is the evidence:
1) The way Klitschko was dominating and the just collapses.
2) The blood tests post fight came back abnormal.
3) The water bottle that was tainted was sent to a lab for testing and dissapeared.
4) Last moment large bets on Brewster.
5) Don King's general shadiness (they guy killed two people for starters).
6) Wlad is not the type to make sh*t up.

I met Jessie Reid at the Gamboa and Lara card 2 years ago. He hates McGirt guts because of that exact moveit was a terrible buisness\career move...reid had him being relentless
Be sure to check out the Wlad fight. :lol1:i own & have watched both fights several times....man he took bombs...but wlad just gave up the first fight.he was exhausted & just quit in my eyes because he was discouraged that lamon took his best & didnt fold but he crushed him in the rematch...the meehan & krasniqi,liakhovich fights were excellent
