If you combine both fights against Wladimir Brewster probably won 1 minute of that - pretty good game plan. I don't want to take anything away from Brewster's victory over Wlad but claiming he was the better man that night is a bit odd considering he was beaten from pillar to post and even heavily floored in rd 4 before Wlad gassed out.Comment

The Brother's K are 96-5 with 4 of the losses coming via asterisk as evidenced by losing a rd per loss. In fact in all 5 losses they might've lost 6 or 7 rds tops. 87 of the 96 victories by way of stoppage. That's why there's hate everywhere for them. They win 95% of the time they fight... knockout their opponents more than 86% of the time & win more than 90% of the rds they fight. That type of domination doesn't exist in one fighter..let alone runs in the family. The KLITSCHKO'S just might be the 2 most dominant fighters in boxing history & this just scares everyone. The facts are staring you right in the face...you can try to taint them all you want but sooner or later you won't be able to. 2 fighters with an average height of 6 ft 6..... 247-248 lbs of lean mean fighting machine. Are they robots? Damn skippy they are. Are there any clones? You tell me...........................Comment

People will disagree, but Purrity showed the weaknesses and Brewster worked it.
Brewster had to walk through a lot of fire to get to that point to finish Wlad, but that shouldn't somehow discredit his performance or his blueprint. Brewster employed the 3 main strategies to put Wlad in that condition. 1) He constantly put on the pressure. 2) He did not let Wlad hold on. 3) He let his hands go, whenever he was in close.
Putting pressure on Wlad causes him to be uncomfortable. He wastes a ton of energy when he is uncomfortable. You can see he's uncomfortable because he's tight (the way Jermain Taylor fights, which puts extra stress on muscles, thus tiring him out faster) and from that he becomes awkward and inaccurate.
Tony Thompson made Wlad look very uncomfortable in the first half of the fight because he put on the pressure and, instead of taking punches, he made him miss. What he didn't do that he had to was not give Wlad breaks. He allowed Wlad to hold on and did not let his hands go enough.
Do you have to go untouched for a blueprint to be effective?
No. Few boxers go into a fight thinking they aren't going to get hit. Brewster knew he might have to take tons of shots in the process of fighting Wlad. He's not going to dupe himself into thinking he would turn into Willie Pep for the night.
Margarito walked through hell to finish off Cotto.
JMM got knocked down 3 times in the process of displaying a blueprint to beat Pacquiao.
Castillo lost the first 4 rounds before putting it on Mayweather.
And so on and so on. Enough with the excuses.Comment

no he's not a WHOLE DIFFERENT fighter
different, but not whole different
he still freaks out when fighters get close to him or inside and he does the same lame thing, tries to clinch and lean on their backs
that's why Chambers slammed him to the floorComment

to Billiyboy : I don't talk about fights I haven't seen, boy
I have watched it at least 4 times
the blueprint is simple, but nobody has even tried it since the Brewster win : be aggressive, try to punch your way on the inside, work to the body
to spray : yes, Wlad did punch himself out, but Brewster hammering blows to the body had something to do with it tooComment

Man, Brewster doesnt know what he's talking about. The people who have had the most success of Wlad simply lasted...thats it. They stayed alive long enough for Wlad to tire himself out, or in Sanders case we saw how a hard hitting southpaw could get to the chin of Wlad and how Wlad at that time had not perfected a great defense against such a fighter. He used to fight as if he wanted to be 6'1...he would crouch and hit guys, now he stands straight, and fires from a distance. Brewster was lucky that the first fight wasnt stopped in the 4th. Wlad punched himself out and whether it was poison, a horrible cutman, or simply exhaustion Wlad was done. He could barely stand, at times you saw him just leaning on the ropes.
If Brewster had all the tapes...why did he fail miserably in the rematch? That dont make no sense....He had all the tapes, he had the footwork of a young Hugo Reyes, why? Why would he struggle in the second fight...oh yeah cause he couldt last and Wlad doesnt punch himself out. I look at that Chambers fight and it shows the main difference. Old Wlad would have tried to KO Chambers in the 3rd round. 9 times out of 10 he would have succeeded. New Wlad just wants to win and has to be begged to finish chambers.if you guys actually knew what you're talking about, you wouldn't be overlooking (or plain ignoring) the fact that Wlad cherry picked his moment to rematch BrewsterThe blood tests after the fight showed Wlad to have abnormally high levels of insulin in his system. The test results were later "lost" by the clinic he went to.
Coincidentally or not, Don King laid down a massive wager on Brewster just before the fight. Rumors on the street were that Wlad was "slipped the mickey" before the fight.
The insulin levels subsided enough a few hours later that Wlad was able to drive home.
So maybe that helped Brewster more than his great footwork.
And what happened to his footwork in the rematch, LOL?
Since that fight, the Klitschkos are very careful about access to the water bottles in the dressing room.
Wlad rematched a wounded prey, chose to fight Brewster when he was coming off eye surgery, a long layoff (15 months) and a loss (to Liakhovich)
