How good is Wlads win over Brewster

The Wlad of the first match would have easily beaten any version of Brewster. Wlad ****ed up. It happens, especially with heavyweights.

 

So what? Golota got iced, he ****ed up. Golota would beat Brewster in a rematch, as did Wlad.

 

I'm a huge fan of Lamon's, and have been since I seen him fight live against Eitenne in Pittsburgh, back in 2000. Brewester has a ton of heart, toughness, and the will to win, as well as having good power in his punches.

Before Lamon fought Wlad in April of 04, he was a journeyman fighter, already losing to likes of Eitenne and Shufford. He came into the Wlad fight 14 or 15 months inactive, and was a huge underdog going in. I think it's safe to say Don King got him that favorable ranking in the WBO, because he sure as **** didnt beat anyone good to be ranked that high.

Brewster came into that fight with nothing to lose and everything to gain, his mentor Bill Slayton(Spell check) just died and he knew deep down it was his last chance to prove himself against a top fighter. He was beaten up badly in the fight, taking straight rights, after straight rights. To his credit he did land some good body blows during that fight, as well as rocking and hurting Wlad in the 3rd round with a stiff jab. He hung in there and toughed it out, Wlad imploded and fell apart when the going got tough, as Brewster would later say after the fight "I got the dog in me, he didnt even take 1/10 of what I took and look at him, he lost, because he dont have the dog in him", I think every dog has his day, and that was Lamon's night to shine, and noone could ever take that away from him.

 

It was a good win. Lamon didn't really have the mentality anymore, but he still had a big punch and a solid chin.

Lamon would beat a lot of these guys even today if he could just get a little bit of the warrior mentality back again.

Personally, I would like to see the man continue with his nice long lay off, then come back to the drawing board and learn a few new tricks. Buddy can teach him to parry and slip a little so he doesn't have to take it anymore. Maybe do something easy like the old George Foreman/Archie Moore cross arms.

 

no worse than lennox's over a fresh out-of-rehab oliver mccall. u brits can't have it both ways :yep

 

The win means something in that Wladimir avenged a loss (something he had received criticism here for missing on his resume) and beat a fighter of some regard and stature.

In regards to the Brewster that Wladimir defeated, the detached retina and inactivity is what takes away from the victory. We can probably assume that the other battles Brewster had been in had taken their toll as well, but there aren't really many fights from Brewster to look at recently to gage that factor. Everything was likely cumulative and sure as hell didn't help Brewster.

It's also worth mentioning that the rematch with Brewster was essentially as one-sided as the first 3 rounds of their first fight. What I'm saying is that the win is tarnished but is better than a win over, say, Ray Austin.

 

Exactly, Wlad lost the first fight more than Brewster won it, you are correct. Thanks for playing...................:yep

 

Another spot on post.

 

That's true, but it still doesn't change the fact that Brewster refused the rematch. If Brewster was so confident in his ability to beat Wlad without Wlad beating himself he would've welcomed the rematch no? Certainly the money would've been good right? Instead Lamon chose to fight his sparring partner & IMO Kali Meehan won that fight.

 

It was a good win, he avenged his loss, that's exactly what he needed to do.

 

any time a boxer avenges a loss, its a good win.

You can make excuses for his win as much as you can make excuses for his loss in the first fight, but i think he proved that overall he has what it takes to be better than Brewster and to beat him

 

That's fair enough actually, McCall was in just as bad shape as Brewster was. I never gave WALD stick for avenging this loss because any avenged loss is a good win.

I can't believe the amount of twats that still think the first fight had nothing to do with Brewsters punches though. Idiots.

 

What blows my mind is a large amount of people watched the first fight, but didn't "see it"....

Wlad dominated the first fight. At no point did Brewster do anything (other than eat punches) in the first fight until Wlad gassed and his hands hit his waist. Still, Brewster couldn't put him down.

And the second fight was exactly like the first, but Wlad didn't shoot his load and Brewster landed MORE punches.

 

(Nut)Case in point.

Here's Brewster, landing nothing significant. Coincidentally this happened just before WALDS drugs/blood sugar/stamina/vaseline problems started :rofl :rofl :rofl
