The fight had too little action, and no watchable punching from Brewster. Wlad is too good for these guys and his new safety first style will prevent there being any meaningful heavyweight wars.
    Can I punch you?

          It wouldn't be easy, I have a long reach and a bit of defense.

          But what are you saying, that he's not too good for his current competitors? I thought even his haters admitted that much. The last two fights have been a bit ****ty because the discrepancy in talent is too large.

            It proves he can dominate Lamon. And he avenged his loss. I'm not saying it was some kind of competitive fight for Klitschko that shows Klitschko's the best boxer of all time or something to that effect.

              I dont know. No matter how much Manny tries to teach Wlad move side to side and give angles, he's always going to look like a robot/frankenstein as evidenced last night vs. Brewster, he was really trying but man is he stiff or what?

              Wlads alright, but anytime he has an opponent who can take his shots and bring him out of his comfort zone, he will fall apart. Not sure anyone out there has the tools right now, you are right about the huge talent discrepancy.

                You're not a real boxing fan if you think watching Wladimir Klitschko fight is boring. He's always exciting to watch, simply because he has that monster right hand that could come at any time and stop the show. The way he punished a tough guy like Brewster with just a jab is something that he alone can do in the heavyweight division right now. He has power and skill, something few heavies have these days so YES I enjoyed the fight, and I'm not a Klitschko hugger or anything like that. I'm just an American boxing fan who appreciates the skillset that a guy like Wlad brings to the bare-bones HW division these days.

                  I thoguth the fight was real boring. he is stiff and fights like frankenstein. I want to see him against a guy who really BRINGS it. I want to see him in a dog fight like Lewis did with Bruno/Mercer. This is what would make me have some respect for Kleeeeeeeeeeeeetschko.

                    Lewis was not as technically solid as Klit and thus HAD to dog it out at times. You're right about Wlad's weaknesses, but if he keeps improving in the way he has lately, no one will be able to 'bring' it to him.
