I really like Brewster (anyone who saw the Brewster-Liakovich fight has to have some respect for the man) but wasn't his eye injury due to getting hit by Liakovich? I mean he didn't get that injury by walking into the turnbuckle during his ring entrance. That's like saying if Roy Jones wouldn't have broke Virgil Hill's ribs then Hill would've won it. That's the point of boxing; to cause physical discomfort to your opponent in order for you to seize some sort of advantage.
What impresses me is that Brewster was able to go through the remaining 11 rounds of great action after the injury. And how can you not be impressed with Liakovich? He gave just a little better than he took and that's all that counts. I don't care if Brewster and Liakovich are "B" level fighters or whatever you may call them... any heavyweights that are willing to have a war like they did deserves some respect. Just compare the Brewster-SL fight to the Rahman-Toney fight and tell me what fighters you'd rather see in the future.
Now, in terms of Wlad. Well, yeah, he was gased but if I remember wasn't Brester really out-of-shape for that fight? If they rematched, I honestly don't think WK would make it past 6. Well, I take that back. After watching him fight Sam Peter and Chris Byrd, he has gone through "grab-clinch-repeat" training with John Ruiz so he'd probably make it through 8 or more. The thing that scares me about WK is that he's getting all this hype (once again) after beating a 6' or less, 213 lb Chris Byrd whom he already knocked out. He has lost 2 of his last 8 by TKOs in under 5 rounds by (at that time) relative unknowns.
Now, I'm not saying WK isn't the best heavyweight and I'm not saying Brewster or Liakovich are. I just want these guys to start fighting each other and get this whole mess straightened out. I just wish these heavyweights would realize that I'm 2 or 3 fights from being the "man" so I'm going to make the fights that matter. But I think the days of someone fighting just for pride of being the best are over.Comment

so i take that u r one of those guys, that don't like when people support their fighters. I think the Brewster/Sergie fight was great, and i'd love to see them do it again. I truly beleive that Brewster would ko him in a rematch, with that injury. Thats not over boardOriginally posted by Leo Pradunthe thread is very bias, and this guy takes it overboard, souns like hes crying cause the europeans rule the division, and is also making excuses for brewster loosing to lyhovich...Comment

Damn that would suck, i hope he can return. There are still a few HW's i lik ein the div, that i beleive can be great, Toney,Brock, and Sergie. I also like Wlad, his skills have become great since being with Steward.Originally posted by McKaydetached retina is what Brewster has correct? That injury pretty much ended Ray Leonard's career sans a couple fights here and there years after surgery. Brewster likely is not going to fight for quite a long time.Comment
