    His win against Wlad was lucky.No luck needed against Golota.Got lucky against Meehan.Both luck and grit got him through the Krasniqi fight.Luck was needed in the Liahkovich fight.

    That's a good point. Corrie just had the handspeed and he practically couldn't miss with that straight left. Lamon just waited for Wlad to tire and he still only managed to land a couple of left hooks, even with Wlad's hands down at his sides due to exaustion.

    The fight ended in the 5th round. Pro boxers shouldn't be exhausted after 5 rounds. This is a big fight for Wlad. He is more talented than Lamon, has many of the physical advantages, and is fighting in front of his fans. He should mop the floor with Brewster and make a statement about who he is as a fighter. If he loses this fight, then i'll lose all faith in him. He will become the heavyweight version of Judah, a guy with supreme talent but a lack of mental fortitude needed to be great. There is no way Wlad should lose to a less talented fighter coming off a long layoff and eye surgery.

    Perfectly stated. :good

    I have this feeling though that Brewster is going to catch Wlad fairly early. What he does will determine the putcome of the fight. If he takes it well and cracks Brewster back, he will stop Brewster. If he has one of his panic attacks and freezes, he's getting laid out. :yep

    Long lay off? Brew was off for over a year for their first fight too.

    Intimidated .. Wlad has faced a lot of hard punching heavyweights and never got buzzed , and even if he did get whacked, he still has great survival tools.. Peter caught him good, but he still escaped and won by using great skills.........

    Wary.. If he wasn't he would be a fool..

    I think Wlad carries that 'fear' of being KOed in every fight, since Lamon put him to bed (probably even Sanders). He's been slowing things up, using the jab and grab, and only unleashing his right hand after he lulls his opponents into a false sense of safety.
    I don't think Brewster will have a psychological edge tomorrw because Wlad has been fighting with his demons every outing since that devestaing loss. It's not that LAMON can/did take him out, Wlad's been fighting like ANYONE can take him out. This has made him a much wiser fighter, if slightly less explosive.
    Add to this that Lamon Brewster is recovering from an injury, coming off a loss, and a long lay-off. Wlad knows this.
    I'm going to look for Wlad to fight tentatively, use the jab and grab, and probably take Lamon out in the mid-late rounds.
    On the flip side. Lamon took him out once so we know he can do it again. That's the fun thing with a Wlad fight... you know someone is going to take a nap.

    Where is that homo Suge White???

    He usually crawls out from under his rock when Wlad fights.

    I think Wlad meticuously and mercilessly picks Brewster apart before a TKO in the 11th.

    This doesn't change the fact that 1 year is a relatively long layoff for a boxer. Brewster was getting pummeled in that fight until Wlad got tired(which I think is pathetic). Wlad should retire if he loses this fight.

    Ah there is one of em.

    Derrick is the one on the left in his avatar BTW.

    Suge would be on the right of course.
