Remembering Klitschko Brewster 1

[Ion85]

Nothing personal against Wlad but this is a funny clip.

Wlad will DESTROY Brewster next time though.

He had the flu probably. He wasn't even ko'd, he tripped over the ref and couldn't even get back on his feat.

Something was wrong with Wlad that night.

Come July there will be something wrong with him again!!

[Kayjay's Ghost]

yeah right Tobi.

It wasn't the punches. Your broadcaster even was saying "Was ist los mit Klitschko?" . . . it was clear even at that moment that things weren't right.

Something was wrong with Wlad that night.

Agreed. I cant quite figure it out. I dont think he threw too many punches. I have watched the fight several times, he has thrown that many punches in other fights in about the same number of rounds. Maybe it was mental, because Brewster just kept commin forward, could've been just poor conditioning.

Second time around, Wladimir I think jabs Brewsters eyes shut and wins a wide decision. Brewster is tough, takes a good punch, and Wladimir is too cautious nowadays to stop him.

Yes, he did appear to be drugged.

I've never bought this 'he was drugged conspiracy.' Brewster hit him with some great body shots that must have taken their toll..In similiar, but not as dramatic, fashion Klitshcko gassed out against tough journeyman Ross Purrity in his first loss. Has everyone seems that fight? If not go to youtube, watch it, and then come back and tell me he was still drugged...

He was still drugged. Wlad gassed out in the 11th round in that fight. Not in 4.5 rounds like this one and Wlad was able to get to his feet in the Purrity fight. It is obvious something is wrong. I have never seen a pro boxer that gassed before. I've seen some pretty fat and tired fighters but they could still get up.

But Wlad didn't tire until the late rounds in the Puritty fight. The problem at that earlier point in his professional career 1) he had been knocking almost everybody out in the early rounds, and had rarely been to a fifth round and never been in a tenth round before 2) he was age 22 and less mature, and had been winning all his fights so easily that didn't feel a need to stay in perfect condition. It reminds me of the young Joe Louis loss to Max Schmelling.

Wlad learned from that early mistake and never again underestimated his opponents. The Brewster fight was different, the problem came on suddenly in the fifth round and there was a strange expression on Wlad's face. I believe something shady may have happened, or Wlad had some kind of blood sugar health problem, such as some form of diabetes. Extremely low levels of blood sugar were detected at a hospital after the fight, which may or may not have been caused by a drug.
