ESPN ARTICLE: Loss To Brewster Still Drives Klitschko

Good article. Wlad is a great example for perseverance and dedication. Not just in sports, but in life in general.

 

I have to take exception with the comment

"He wasnt really hurt" in the Brewster fight. Brewster landed BOMBS at the end of that 5TH

 

wasnt there an investigation because of this fight. Wlad looked positively drugged by the end of the 4th.

 

Ever hear anything come out of it?

If he really felt he was drugged, he wouldnt constantly look back at the fight for motivation

 

That was what I was thinking too. It clearly seems he himself doesn't believe he was drugged but just gassed.
It happend to him twice, and never again after the first Brewster fight.

Think it's very refreshing how he looks at that loss.

 

He was completely exhausted just punched himself out and didn't pace himself. Didn't learn how to do that until a couple years later

 

Why wasn't Brewster exhausted? He was the one doing all the work, on top of being punched in the face.

Brewster beat him down. Accept it. Wlad has.

 

The only reason Wlad gassed a bit was because he wasn't allowed to do his usual huggybear routine and was forced to actually box for most of the round.. the ref got on him straight away.

 

Wlad looked like an utterly exhausted fighter when the fight was stopped, not a hurt one.... Doesn't take a genius to notice that.

 

That was BS spread by Klitschko's US attourney, there never was any basis to it. When Wlad saw the backlash his lawyer generated he quickly reigned him in and accepted the loss for what it was: He gassed out and got the living **** knocked out of him. He's a better athlete today for admitting his mistakes.

 

Stop your excuse making . Head shots made him delirious. He was hurt.

I can't prove anything but boxing is a crooked business, Anyway, it wasnt like the puritty fight at all, where he was desperate to ko the man in front of his home crowd in Kiev and punched himself out at the end of a long fight. Something was fishy here. I don't have a problem with the sanders and puritty losses, cos they re explicable, the brewster case looked somewhat different.

Good he went on to avenge the loss. The fight and how it ended is still a mystery to me.

 

Because he wasn't allowed rest on Brewster's back every 10 seconds.

Getting tired is no excuse for a professional fighter.

Brewster ran the gas out of him. Just like waiting for somebody to tire is a legit way of winning.

I suppose Ali didn't really beat Foreman because Foreman was exhausted when he was stopped , yeah?atsch
