Joe Frazier beats both Klitschkos

[Jim Jeffries]

Than again he wasn't much shorter than Lamon Brewster and was the WAY better fighter and never got tired.

Speaking of Brewster, I'm still confused how someone that's hit after the bell, goes down after the bell, can be counted out, especially when he beats the count (and has 50 seconds left to recover before continuing.)

My bad, I had a brain fart.

First, you can't be saved by the bell in any round but the last. Next, I thought Brewster through that last punch just a split second before the bell with it land just a split second after. Not an intentional foul a a fighter needs to protect himself at all times. Last, Wlad was in no condition to go on. Stopping it then was not only the right call, but a merciful one at that.

Funny, but I was unaware either Klit beat: Ali, Bonevena, Ellis, and Machen (Frazier); or Norton, Shavers, Weaver, Cooney, and Witherspoon (Holmes).

Hec was 2, maybe 2 and a half inches taller and reach doesn't mean as much to someone with Fraziers style as it does for more of a stand up fighter. Joe was faster than Brewster of both hand and foot, had better stamina and better quality wins. THOSE are pretty big advantages, no?

Thanks. It just seemed kind of odd, especially since Brewster was hurt worse earlier in the fight. Wlad had punched himself out Foreman style by the time the fight was stopped though, probably wouldn't have done much after that. I just figured he should've been given a minute to see if he could recuperate, especially after beating the count, and being a title fight.

Wlad was dropped in the fight right after that, if I remember right, and managed to recover and stop the guy.
