Klitschko-Brewster II reminded me a lot of Lewis-Morisson

That's an excellent comparison. It was also the first time I'd seen either guy look THAT beaten. Don't get me wrong, the Mercer KO against Morrison was brutal, but Tommy was accounting for himself well in that fight prior to it. In the case of Wlad and Lennox, both of them just demoralized and broke down two exciting fighters who were known for their heart. That's not easy to do to those guys.

 

I am sure some will grumble over Wlad being compared to Lewis, but I think this is a great comparison; two fairly similar Steward fighters fighting two very similar KO at all costs type opponents, with similar outcomes.

 

I disagree. I think Lewis fought a much more complete fight.

 

Brewster just didnt turn up that night, the eye injury was clearly psychologically weighing on him and his trainer who was heard to tell him in the corner after the first two rounds that he wouldnt let him get hit tonight. At a point in the fight where he hadnt been hit by much at all yet! The whole fight he shouted out defensive instructions, this was maybe not heard on HBO but watching online on seconds out you heard the trainers urgency to protect that eye from the outset.
Id compare wlad brewster to lewis fortune, thats the standards of opponent brewster was that night.

 

are you sure, or maybe wlad was that night only so good?!

 

Agreed

 

I dont see how Wlad is THAT much improved from the 1st fight. He was giving Brewster just as bad a beating in 04 as he did on July 7th but he got tired and hit cleanly. This month he never got touched clean on the chin thats 4 fights in a row bravo to Wlad for that and he didnt get tired agian bravo to Wlad for that. Obviously he defense and stamina is better but he still offensivly is the same guy with exactly 3 punches.

 

Their first fight, wlad move much more and he didnt use his jab so much. Second fight wlad seems to be physically much stronger and he use his reach advantage very well and not move and lose his energy, before he have to.

 

Honestly I can't figure out whether Wlad is that good or his opponents have been poor.

I thought Wlad would have had to work hard to beat Brewster but something unexpected happened: either a substandard Brewster showed up or Wlad just made it look easy.

Not sure which it was. Maybe it was both?

Anybody got a link to the fight?

 

Both Brewster and Morrison had devestating left hooks too.

Brewster was good enough to beat Golota, who had some encouraging fights vs Byrd and Ruiz, however unlike Byrd and Ruiz, Brewster packs a KO punch. Brewster was also good enough to get a come from behind KO win over Luan Krasniqui.

Klitschko was always technically better than Brewster and the rematch showed that if Klitschko doesn't exhaust himself Brewster probably would never lay on glove on him.

 

yea brewster went through the motions this time. like the guy before said. wlad has the same exact three punches.

 

Brewster looked like a shot fighter, Wlad wasn't even landing that many big shots.

 

yeah but lewis did that to him, brewster cameinto the fight worried about his eye injury he had just had repaired!
