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

    Of course he did. That's exactly what happens when your opponent dodges everything you throw and lands 10 times as many punches to make you pay for it.

    Wlad didn't fade, and Brewster eventually got demoralized from getting hit in the face a couple hundred times. Judging by how swollen his face looked, I don't blame him.

    Brewster's always been the kind of guy who can outslug you and relies on flat out being tougher than you to win. What made him a little more successful than Morrison in that regard is Lamon's chin was noticably better equipped to hold up to that kind of style, which more than offset Morrison's better 1 punch KO power because there's not a huge difference there. Brewster looked that bad because Wlad made him. Don't get me wrong- he's not in his prime anymore (in large part due to the beatings he's taken, including the first Wlad fight), but I don't think he was near as shot as Wlad made him look. If he were, surely something would've leaked about it beforehand, like when everybody knew Lyakovich had a terrible camp leading up to the Briggs fight.

    Brewster was shot, he was moving as if his whole body was stuck in quicksand, Wlad showed alot of fear and respect towards Brewster which is why Brewster didn't go down, In other words Wlad didn't tee off on him this time he just caustiously boxed while poor Brewster couldn't even move in there.

    Wlad showed fear? :rofl

    I clearly saw Wlad pummel Brewster with left hooks & big right hands as well as the occasional uppercut all while peppering Lamon's face with the jab.

    I also recall Brewster trying for big lunging shots but to no avail. It was just a matter of time til Wlad closed the show but Lamon's corner beat him to it! :good

    That is an example.

    How about when he dropped Morrisson with a hook? He covered up and countered with a hook. In that moment his counter punching ability, defence and inside work was superior to Wlads and those are areas Wlad didn't really display much of.

    Wlad fought a pretty straight forward fight. Pace myself, use the jab, keep him at distance and every now and again try a power shot. Lewis fought a much more complete fight.
