When Brewster turned the fight around vs Wlad

[con33]

I think Wlad is a goofy guy with questionable confidence in the ring and a breakable chin.

I also think if he makes it out of Round 2 with Peter, he probably wins the fight, assuming he's learned from some of his past mistakes, which the Castillo fight shows he is working on...

...How can you sit there and call Wlad goofy with that avatar pic staring us in the face? (this is where I would insert a smiley if I did that sort of thing).

[scap]

Could it be any more comical that you're responding to something I didn't say?

The point was that Brewster did big damage with those shots in a 5th round where Wlad was winning every second up until it happened.

He didn't just get tired, he got stopped.

A lot of guys get tired and winded, he did, AND got stopped.

Too many people talk about that fight like Wlad "got tired" and that's all there was to it.

Brewster deserves credit. He hurt Wlad, and followed up.

Brewster deserves credit, he took a helluva a beating to position himself to earn that victory, I hope his effort against Golota is just the beginning.

I still dont know how hard those shots from Brewster were in the gif, I think you could have blown on Wlad and he eventually would have crumbled.

Wlad is all thru and this is coming from a klitchko cum eater(I spat it out the first time I was with him and the second time I said what the **** and swallowed the whole ****ing load), you can work on a ton of **** in the gym to improve yourself and you can do a ton of **** to improve your stamina but I dont know if you can do too much about a glass jaw and that is the big guys problem-his brother has eaten the division's best punches and he cant eat ****.

I need some confetti dropping from the ceiling and a big grin for it there to be a valid comparison...

But his whole in-ring demeanor, especially in his last few fights, screams "goofy"

And he's got a foot in height on me. It helps add to the stereotype...

Yeah, sometimes he looks like the baddest mother ****er in the world in that ring and other times he looks down right "punch drunk" and that doesn't mean he even got punched. How can a guy look so impressive and so goofy on occasions at the same time? I think he is too nice of a guy for his own good and probably a big kid at heart.

His interviews are also straight comedy. His brother's too, but if Vitali looks pissed off, he looks mean. Wlad can't really intimidate his opponent unless the guy is wary of his height/weight...

I just downloaded this fight to disk, and made a gif.

In an earlier discussion, it was mentioned by several people (as it always is when this fight is brought up) that Wlad was tired and that's the simple reason he lost.

Wrong.

As you can see in this clip from the 5th round, Brewster turns the fight around with two very hard left hooks. Wlad won every second of round 5 until this sequence occured with a minute left:



As you can see, he also lands a digging left hook to the body and another left to the head as Wlad sinks into the ropes (which is why there was a Knockdown called there: it was not a standing 8, the ref ruled the ropes held Wlad up).

After the count, Brewster was very agressive and landed more power shots as the round drew to a close.

Was Wlad tired? Yes, but so are a lot of guys that get knocked out.

Anyone who can't give credit to Lamon Brewster for showing hunger and heart earlier in the fight, and then hurting and jumping on Wlad in the end, is kidding themselves.

Lamon Brewster beat Wlad Klitscko that night with some very hard power shots.

It wasn't inexplicable fatigue, vasiline on his legs, poisoned water etc.

Brewster stopped Wlad Klitschko, period.

Well, can't argue with that, Wlad clearly was gassed by the end of the 4th round, understandable given his size and the pace he fought at up until that point. I think the guy has a problem with panicking. Against Sanders, when he got hurt he tried to fight out of it, and ended up getting hammered. I think he panicked when he got hit this time too, but tried to run instead of fight. Since his legs were gone, he couldn't get away, thus he was stopped again. IMO, Brewster should be given credit for still being there after the pounding he took, and being able to take advantage of it. Afterall, that's basically all Marciano did to Walcott. People say this and that about Marciano not being able to see and all that, but basically it was about the same thing. I'm not trying to compare Brewster with Marciano, and I really don't think Brewster beats Wlad in a rematch, but you can't say he isn't tough and you can't say he didn't win the fight. In other words, I agree.

...You make a point, but I still have seen more guys with that "****ting their pants" look on their face when entering the ring against Wlad than Vitali. I thought McCline was gonna have a heart attack before he even got into the ring with Wlad.

[hollister]

Yeah, I'd have to watch some old Tyson fights to see someone look that frightened lol

You guys say he has a **** chin?

Look how many shots he took and was able to stand, and move somewhat.

Golota droped right away.

LOOK AT THIS GIF. Brewster is throwing bombs, bombs, and Wlad still standing, and the KO shot wasnt even a shot.

So the guys was tottaly waisted plus he took all that punishment without falling on his ass when taking it...

I know, I've said more or less the same thing. Look at how many times he was hit by Sanders, and kept getting up. People only see what they want to see.
