Brewster had Liakahovic on the ropes.....landing haymaker after haymaker on the chin, and both guys overcame adversity and started cornering eachother.
.
... oh, yes, it was exactly the same here ... except laying on the ropes...
We just don't see eye to eye on what constitutes "Exciting" fights.
Well... I guess I saw much more drama and how Oleg overcame adversity (being tagged with serious bombs) and his age (being dead tired in rounds 8,9,...) to win this...
Oleg worked the body great, and left hook did the job ... it took full 12 rounds for this strategy to take effect ...
i agree with poppa here, i think it was the best heavyweight fight in 06 thus far.. great action, i was impressed with both guys, stamina wise and they both showed alot of heart, of course, with the exciting finish.. nothing like a close fight that ends in dramatic fashion.. great stuff for boxing.. (if i had known it was gonna go like that, i wouldn't have cared what was on the undercard! )
i also gotta add, i can't see how anyone who watched the fight, couldn't be happy with it (unless you had money on Rahman i guess), even with bets aside, a great fight..
