    To those of you who refer to that fight as evidence that Klitschko supposedly has a "glass jaw," I ask: Have you actually watched it? Wlad clearly went down from exhaustion (had completely punched himself out the previous round and was staggering around the ring panting), aided by a late punch thrown well after the bell. What am I missing?

    Brewster is a legitimate puncher , no shame being stopped by him.

    proof of a bad stamina.

    brewster hurt him with a jab in the 2nd round i think.

    he never had a warriors mentality, when the other guy starts unloading on him he just surrenders like "dont hit me" instead of fighting back.
    when the going gets tough he goes in a panic mode.

    considering how much hard, devastating punches brewster took and was still coming, while wlad was rolling on the canvas after brewster landed like 0,1 % punches he took, it is really disgraceful for wlad.

    but brewster ate a lot of punches from wlad and wlad could not take 0,1 % punishment that brewster took.

    brewster has a waaaay better chin than wlad.

    I don't believe that was the question.

    He was completely gassed for whatever reason. Look at the way he gets up after the fall at :33 and walks back to his corner, he's spent. And that's a very late hit that put him down after the bell, all this makes the Dirrell situation that more comical.

    brewster has a great chin, wlad has a bad one. that is obvious i think

    whenever wlad landed brewster took it no problem, while brewster had wlad in trouble every time he landed. and wlad is probably a harder hitter.

    why does he always go in a panic mode when the fight breaks and the going gets tough- brewster, peter, joshua... if he cannot turn his back and run like in povetkin or fury fight, he just surrenders and goes to the canvas when the other guy unloads him... he cannot fight back, that is proven

    Anthony Joshua begs to differ with that opinion ;)

    You're missing nothing this is exactly what happened. Young Wlad had pacing problems and possibly he didn't work on his cardio as much as he should have. This has not happened since, showing that he's sorted that aspect of his game.

    Look, Wlad doesn't have a great chin, let's be honest, but it's also nowhere as bad as his detractors claim. I'd rate it as "average". He's taken shots from big guys before without crumbling. Genuine glass chins tend to fold right away.

    The guys that have put him down have been huge hitters in general, like Brewster, Sanders, Puritty and AJ. Generally when these guys hit something clean, it stays hit.

    This is the title of the thread.

    "Wlad's ko loss to Brewster = proof of glass jaw."

    Brewster's jaw is not in question.

    He doesn't have a marciano, ali foreman chin, neither does he have a Patterson one either. I'd say similar to frazier s but Joe had more fire in his guts. He has a chin that could possibly stand up to tua but then be ko'd by shavers.. It's a unpredictable predictable chin, but like mcvey said no shame in being blasted by sanders or brewster really.

    I don't think the punches Brewster landed can be taken out the equation entirely, in this case; even if the 'glass jaw' label is used more out of lazy sloganism, these days. I'm no doubt guilty of using it myself, although I can't recall being too hung up on the 'chin' issues of Wlad.

    No, Wlad does not have a great chin but I don't think blanket claims of him having a 'glass jaw' were entirely warranted, either. That said, when he's been planted on it, this has usually tended to signal an imminent end to the fight. Then again, perhaps this should come as no big shock in Heavyweight boxing; the division in which the most powerful and damaging punches will be thrown.

    As has already been stated, Sanders; Brewster; Joshua - They all carried/carry above average power.

    However, his stamina issues have also been of equal, if not greater, concern. Both perceived weaknesses defined his style and tactics under Steward, which allowed him to better protect his whiskers and preserve his energy. But, it goes without saying that neither are desirable traits to take with you into a championship boxing ring.
