Close enough. He dropped 2 rounds to Peter & maybe 1 or 2 to Brock. I'll give you 4 rounds & that's generous. Byrd won 0 rounds in the rematch & Austin wasn't there long enough :yep
I never saw Frank Bruno out cold in his career either, but he didn't exactly have a good chin. WALD has the same problem, it doesn't take much to put him on ***** st. He generally gets stopped to save him from the KO. He was SAVED from being KO'd against Purrity, Sanders and Brewster. Just because the ref prevented this happening doesn't mean he has a good chin.
Maybe but if the 2nd were to continue Brewster may be dead. He was being beaten so badly he'd at least be mumbling like Bowe.............. Blood sugar levels are not a joke, people can die from having too much or too little regardless of whether they are diabetic or not. This is a fact. Check w/ your doctor.
So you agree that to say he lost no rounds in those fights is bull**** then? That's all I was pointing out. Still getting all excited about beating Austin too I see :rofl :rofl :rofl
And if the first fight with Brewster continued then WALD may be dead, what's the point here? Blood sugar, bull****. He got tagged, simple as that. I can't believe people can sit and watch that fight and claim that the victory wasn't 100% genuine. Comes from loving the fighter and not the sport I guess.
I agree Brewster was in trouble in the 2nd fight and Wlad was in trouble in first fight, I guess Brewster could of blamed losing because of his bad eye but didnt. Theres no room for excuses in boxing, Wlad should of dried his eyes and took his loss like a man instead of making up lame excuses why he lost.
I don't actually blame the guy for making up that blood sugar bull****, his career was on the line at that point. I do however blame his fans for failing to see through the bull**** :nut :nut :nut
Well another current beltholder named Sultan went the distance and only managed a draw, so yes, I'm impressed with that. Wlad KO'd him with one hand tied behind his back................. :deal
Oh stop. Check with your doctor and see what the results of low or high blood sugar is on the human system. Wlad was breathing heavy as early as the 2nd round according to Brewster himself. Why would he be so tired after only 2 rounds when he'd fought many more against far better competition prior to that occasion? Wlad's hands were both down near his waist when that left hook was thrown , he couldn't even keep his hands up. Like I said, check w/ your doctor, he'll know better than you or I how to explain. I passed out from low blood sugar and had 1 or 2 times after that where I almost passed out. I'm not diabetic either, it just happens to some people sometimes.
The fact that Wlad's blood sugar was irregular after the fight is well documented. The fact that someone spiked his water bottle is in question, but I don't believe that. No one spiked my food or water & I couldn't even remain standing................I blacked out.
BULL****. I suggest you re-watch that fight. WALDS hands were up fine, Brewster threw 2 left jabs, a strong right and a left hook, and only then did WALDS hands go down, because he was out on his feet. The blood sugar stuff was just horse**** to excuse the loss, that's all. If WALD was medically unfit to fight then he would have been pulled out - after all that's what the Klitschkos do best, surely? :deal
My apologies fightingWeight, Originally I only listed each guys last four fights (as Swedeone had specified TWO years back). Later, I took the liberty of going back TWO years and TWO days (to include their fight with each other), but forgot to update Wlads rounds lost. He did lose TWO rounds to Peter. So the ammended total rounds lost for Wlad is 2. Hope that clarifies.
So I guess we should excuse Briggs for asthma everytime he fights or we should excuse Holyfield for fighting with a sore shoulder in the fights against Donald and Toney, or even excuse Brewster for having a still damaged eye when he fought Wlad the 2nd time. Every fighter can have an excuse when they lose if they wanted too, but at the end of the day you still got beat fairly.
I suggest you rewatch the fight, I'll do the same, tomorrow. My work PC is much faster than this home POS which has little or no video capability :-( From memory though, and I have seen the fight recently, I can tell you his hands were down at his waist & I probably could've landed a shot on him at that point. :bart
It is the general rule of this forum that genuine excuses only apply to boxers with the surname 'Klitschko'. Be careful with your words or I'll have to report you to admin.
