Lamon Brewster: Overhyped on BoxingScene?

[masterdirector]

Tyson will get the belts back. Like Parappa the Rapper, I gotta believe.

Brewster still sucks but he's good at beating up guys who should stomp his ass. And the better they are, the better he beats them. Think about his last 3 fights. Golota, Meehan, and Wladimir. Golota is the best he fought, 1st round KO. Meehan the worst, decision. Wladimir the middle man, 5th round stoppage. Wow, Brewster also managed to find three of the only white heavyweights too. The only ones left are what, McBride and Vitali? I mean, Michael Moorer retired.

I'm predicting that Tyson will KO McBride and that the board will respond the same way that they did with Brewster's KO over Golota. Doesn't have anything to do with my opinions on what Tyson would do against anyone else; I'm only saying that the board will likely react similarly when any heavyweight has a big KO victory. Remember when Peter KO'd Williams? The same thing happened, though to an understandably lesser degree.

Totally agree. As soon as McBride hits the canvas the board will be full of Tyson mad no nothings claiming this is the 7th coming of Tyson. They will claim that Tyson is gonna do this and that to Klitscko and that he will regain the titles blah blah.
It is anoying because everyone who isn`t caught up in this silly myth, i.e normal minded people, have to put up with it. The facts are that Tyson is shot, he is only fighting for money and fighting mcBride just confirms this.

I know, Lamon Brewster made quick work of Golota by knocking him out in 56 seconds. But before the fight, very few posters gave him any recognition, and said he was a "no skilled bum" and Golota would "roll right over him". I think the issue here is maybe it's not that Brewster is so unbelievably good, but maybe, Andrew Golota has lost his touch. Threads like Brewster-Vitali, and Brewster fighting big heavyweight names are insane. The guy Koed Golota, who has obviously proven to not be all mentally there in his past fights. But let's be realistic people, Brewster is not Ali. He is a fighter who got lucky against Wlad, and proved that Golotas career is over.

he has power but he is not taking over the heavyweight division

I will leave the board for a week or two when this happens, I hope Cotto vs Abdullaev doesnt get overshadowed because of this trash they are calling a fight.

Good post.

C'mon people, Golota didn't even fight! Lamon just rushed him, winging punches, I mean they were even sloppy compared to Tommy Morrison's attacks. Golota didn't move his feet, didn't move his head, and threw no meaningful punches, he just stood there and let himself get hit. I will admit, I picked Golota to win this fight because I thought he would somehow regain the jab and the right hand he lost. That being said, Golota's performance was pathetic, and I can hardly give Brewster any real credit for proving the boxing world wrong based how that fight turned out.
