Grady Brewer:" Lara is not that good, there is no doubt"

MA: Going back to the fight with Lara… You had him hurt badly in the fourth round. Did you notice that he was hurt?
I knew I hurt him, but when I hurt him that’s when I must have thrown my shoulder out. When I hurt him I said: “Let me go ahead and jump on him and get him.” I have always been a good finisher. When I hurt somebody, I get on them and take them out. When I hit him, I think there were about 30…60 seconds left in the round. I went to jump on him and take him out but I noticed I couldn’t throw my punches the way I wanted to. So coming into the next round, I said: “I know I can hurt him, I know I can beat him.” I went to the next round and I waited …waited… and waited and before I knew it, the fight was over. I never was able to throw my shots. But now we know why, I had hurt my shoulder.

MA: That’s unfortunate.
It really did suck. It’s been hard to live with. It’s been really hard to live with. The worst thing about the whole situation is that everybody looked at me, going into that fight, thinking that I couldn’t even beat Lara from the beginning. Lara is not that good. Coming out of that fight, I knew I can beat him, but the way things went during the fight…getting injured, I couldn’t beat him. It was his night… it wasn’t my night. Now people think I can’t beat him but I can beat him.
I don’t like getting into the internet and broadcasting telling everybody what’s going on with Grady Brewer. I am excited that you called me and asked information about me. But normally, I just like to lie low, just like I was in The Contender. I just laid low and did my own thing. I am not the kind of guy that like to speak out and broadcast and brag. I am the kind of guy that likes to do my own thing.
It’s just a bad deal that happened. Lara is not that good, there is no doubt… he is not that good. I have fought way better fighters than him.

MA: In a June 2, 2008, interview you said that “Trainer Tommy Gallagher motivated you.” He is the best motivator you have ever seen. What was it he did or said?
When I was fighting in The Contender, he would talk to me. He was the only one that I ever notice catching my attention. I think he slapped me, and I was like: “Who is this dude that slapped me like that, man, I better listen to what he is saying!” He would tell me: “Grady you want this!” “This is yours!” The things he was saying to me just made sense. Made me want to go out there and fight and get it.
