"Warrior" Brewster quit on his stool

Brewster has shown a lot of heart in the past, but each situation is unique and this one warranted him quitting. It made no sense for him to get beat on.

That is why I very rarely criticize fighters for quitting on their stool. I'm in no position to determine the exact nature of a fighter's physical condition.

Most fans would be wise to follow suit. One day they're trashing a fighter for quitting on the stool, and the next day it's one of their fighters doing the very same thing.

I give most fighters the benefit of the doubt when they choose not to continue. I'm not taking any punches so it's easy for me to be critical!

 

Palease a year ago the man was blind in one eye was off a full year then comes back to fight wald at the top of his game with out a tune up , if you even thought this fight was going to be competitive your full of the BS .. Brewster had no business in the ring with Wald after a serious eye injury and long lay off.
Boxing at it best. :verysad

 

Excellent post.

 

Look I appreciate the sentiments of all those who agree with the stoppage but was Lamon really hurt? Didn't seem that Wlad really caught him with anything big. I mean, quitting on your stool because it appears you have no chance to win is not exactly the spirit of the sport. I quite simply did not see the damage done (granted from the comfort of my sofa).

I don't know man. People on this site ***** and moan about Vit Klit "quitting" with a torn rotator cuff and the same folks are justifying Lamon bailing out because he was not making any progress with his game plan. He got hit WAY more in the first four rounds their first fight and came back to win.

This fight just stunk in my opinion.

 

But in the previous round before it was stopped, mcgirt asked " be honest, do you still got it?' And he said yes i still got got it.

 

As if any of those complaining would agree to stay in after a single round with Klitschko. Some of these make me laugh.

Also, I'd rather be a quitter who can still see than a blind "warrior." We have no idea what would have happened had that eye injury been aggravated again.

 

You are bloody ignorant, Brewster is a WARRIOR!
You are not entitled to call Brewster a quitter, idiot.

 

Only someone who has been in the ring and taken that pounding round after round can truly appreciate how Lamon felt. McGirt is a fighter he could see what was going on and he knew the end was near. Lamon knew the end was near too. Lamon gave it all he had for the first 6 rounds and there should be no shame on him...but when push came to shove Klitschko proved who was the better fighter!

 

Um, Brewster said " OK " to the stoppage. Its a quit job. Brewster and McGirt knew Wlad was going to knock him out.

 

Brewster didn't quit, he respected the OPINION of a good trainer who was doing the right thing. It wasn't lamon suggesting it, it was Mcgirt and in between rounds 4 or 5 Mcgirt asked him if he felt he had it and Lamon said YES and wanted to go. Another round or two of the same, and Buddy being more assertive about it, he agreed/acquiesced to the proper advice.

If buddy hadn't said anything?? lamon would have continued taking unnecessary and potentially permanent damage:good

 

My sentiments exactly. Assholes like that make my ****ing blood boil!:fire

 

TWAT!

 

Hey I don't like guys just quiting but Brewster gets a pass. In alot of his fights he took alot of punishment but didn't quit.. I mean cmon now.. the guy had a detached retina and was facing the best heavyweight in the game right now gettin his ass handed to him. But I'm wondering if Brewster doesnt have the heart to fight anymore since he kept talking about being around for his kids and not being punch drunk. He's a good guy though.. Nothing wrong with quitting there.. I do however have a problem with Kermit cintron quitting against Margarito and that heartless ****** Acelino Freitas.. 2 guys there that like to dish punishment and knock people out but when they get hit they want to quit like little hoes. thats the type of fighters i cant stand that quit.

 

You can't hold it against Brewster for quitting. He just reached a point in the match where he realized he was spent and had no chance to win. There's no sense in going back out if you have nothing left to give. I've been highly critical of McGirt's merits as a trainer but he deserves respect for doing the right thing and protecting his fighter

 

Well, I hate to blow my own horn, but I predicted that Brewster would quit on his stool. Honestly, the man had no choice. Wlad wasn't getting tagged with anything he threw, nor was Wlad getting tired as so many had predicted. If anything, Wlad looked more like someone that was getting ready to really turn it up, and I think Brewster sensed that. He was already beaten badly with only a jab, so could you imagine if Wlad had opened up his full arsenal? He probably would have seriously hurt Lamon. Anyway, it was a good show, and good example of how boxing beats slugging.
