17 to 1 odds suspiciously went to near even just hours before the fight which prompted an internal investigation by the Nevada gaming control board. Brewster’s manager and a few dozen of his business associates bet millions on a Brewster victory. Shortly before the fight CCTV footage showed two unknown people with forged team Klitschko credentials entering into his locker room, then leaving a couple minutes later. The doctor that initially analyzed his post-fight urine sample believed Wlad was poisoned with Haloperidol, a drug that causes extreme acute fatigue and loss of motor control. After the fight, Wlad’s blood sugar spiked more than twice the average and he nearly went into a diabetic coma. Both the A and B samples were sent for further testing. The A sample was destroyed without authorization and the B sample which is supposed to always be stored for several years mysteriously disappeared.
I never believed this theory it's simple Klitschko didn't pace himself, and went all out in the first 4 rounds to try and KO Brewster. He almost succeeded and battered Brewster from pillar to post, but Brewster showed resilience and Wladimir emptied the gas tank and had nothing left. Wladimir also lost a fight to Ross Purrity earlier in his career from tiring out late on.
Never knew they piled fortunes late on Brewster to the point it was even money. Was an odd one although Wlad did gas against Purritty so he had previous.
I don't like Wlad, but I have to say his face looked like death in that fight at the end. It was like a ghoul. Maybe it was the concussion, but he didn't look like that in the Sanders fight. So I wouldn't rule something like a poisoning out, actually.
People will say no because they don't like him, but 17 to 1 made even in a few hours, a drug test showing he was drugged, two random guys entering his room? Obviously he was.
He was clearly drugged. Brewster was getting dominated then Wlad just gassed out and had a weird look on his face prior to the KO Wlad never had problems with conditioning in any of his fights. In the rematch in Germany Wlad destroyed Brewster easily.
I never knew all that backstory. I always just figured he had gassed out. It had happened against Purrity but 5 full rounds later. You never know in big time sports.
Exactly! That's why he worked so hard at pacing himself after the Brewster fight. Limiting his punch output per round. I think it was 40/round.
Sounds to me like a part of a PR campaign paid for by team Klitschko. If not then feel free to provide links to original documents that state among other things that nevada launched an investigation into the betting and who requested this investigation. Till then this is all just part of a pr campaign by roidloving team Klitschko.
One ended 30 secs into round 2 and the other after round 5 had finished. Two totally different situations so I don’t get your message
