I stood firm that Brewster wouldn't pose a threat in the rematch. The problem is that he was never much to really be impressed with to begin with, people forget the gift over journeyman Meehan, the loss to Shufford and Etienne and then the bad beating to fringe contender Liakhovich. Why is it a surprise at all to some that Brewster was just going to take a beating? He was there for the money. But yes, Klit avenged the loss, time to move on now to more interesting fights.
I give WLAD the proper amount of credit, he did avenge a loss. At the same time, he didn't do it when Lamon was on a winning streak (not WLAD's fault), and many predicted that Brewster could be shot now. I don't mind that WLAD is doing this, my disapointment tonight is in Lamon Brewster. He didn't fight with his heart. Brewster is the one who has to live with this though, so I'll try to keep the criticism to a minimum. I hope WLAD wastes a year of his prime chasing golfers and washed up fighters, it wouldn't do any harm to the division...remember WLAD admits he's not the true champ, therefore we don't need him to prove he is by unifying. Let the other three champs unify, WLAD can keep his fanbase and HBO happy no matter who he fights.
I made that evident to hardcore Klitschko fans when the fight was announced after they were flipping out over it. I personally didn't see this fight as a "big deal", other than for Wlad to avenge the loss on paper. They didn't like the material...:yep However, Klit did look good and didn't utilise excessive holding, so the credit must be issued in adequate form.
By the way, how's it going Suge White? I hope you enjoyed seeing Darchinyan getting starched as much as I did. Klitschko fans are wishing for a rematch with Sanders now, I find that to be even more worthless than this one and even with the paper win, it would have no effect on his potential legacy.
Great, good to see you are back too. I'm going to have to watch Vic get pounded on replay, good ridance. As long as we see the potential for a Sander's rematch for what it is, I see no harm in it. Afterall, KLIT needs something to do...guys like Austin and "Not a Shot" Brock don't cut it. Since he knows he's not the champ and isn't serious about unifying, what's wrong with him spending say a year of his prime fighting washed up fighters and golfers...HBO is happy, Uncle Manny is happy...and VITKLIT still has three chances to get some gold as long as WLAD doesn't try to unify. Of course the KLIT-ites will be overjoyed...
Well, I was thinking the winner of Chagaev/Ibragimov for unification. I don't feel that either of those guys are anything special, but they would be better than Sanders and of course jokes like Calvin Brock. I agree with you on the Klitschko fanbase and I called this Brewster match from the start, but I do feel that Wlad is not the type at the moment to duck a challenge and at least he's conducting himself in a semi-honourable manner... IE coming to fight and acting with class. Wlad is pretty good, he'd likely KO both Chag and Ibrag, but the fight I really want is Peter/Klit 2, where I'd absolutely pick Sam to win.:good
That's funny, as they've been fighting professionally for exactly the same amount of time and Wlad's had more fights. How is one in his prime and one a shell? Please say something goofy like "Sergei ruined him", I could use a good laugh. :hi:
Well whose fault is that? You're going to discredit one guy for not being mentally ruined by his three losses and use the other guy being mentally ruined by his own three losses as an excuse? Come on dude, what the ****.
It's obviously nobodies fault. It IS a good win, nobody will deny that. I was saying well before this fight that I didn't feel that Brewster, after all of the beatings, would amount to much more in the division... Then the fight was announced and I said the same things. This was the same guy whom lost to Etienne, Shufford and Liakhovich and then was beaten up well by an essential gate keeper in Krasniqi. Brewster was never really that good, I've always had this opinion and I am totally unbiased on the issue of the Klitschko's, I have nothing against them as a fighters.
:good Even Brewster admitted that the eye didn't give him any problems, so they'll have to stop using that one. Brewster came in good condition, and well prepared, with a world reknown trainer...........so.... Maybe he's a shell of his former self, cause, well...........I think cause, well.........I don't know why, but I am sure he was not nearly the fighter he was for the first fight. I can just sense it. :blood
Klitschko won because he wasn't drugged this time. He would have easily won the first time if he hadn't have been drugged.
I'd like to see Peter make it to and through the Maskaev fight as planned before I think about him fighting WLAD. I'm a little concerned about Peter... ...his entire career he's fought at intervals of every few months or sonner. He has a ten month layoff before Maskaev...that's twice the length of his longest layoff. I'm just hoping Sam and his team know how to hold it together, as this is a lot different than SOP for them...:smoke
