Brewster: “We [Wladimir Klitschko] Should See Who Wins a Third Time”
August 27th, 2009
Picture: SE – By Erik Schmidt: Former WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster (35-4, 30 KO’s) is still very much interested in getting revenge against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, saying “We Should See Who Wins a Third Time.” First things first, Brewster, 36, has a fight against Gbenga Oloukun (16-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Gerry Webber Stadium, Halle, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Brewster has looked sensational in his last two fights, defeating Danny Batchelder and Michael Sprott. In both fights, Brewster showed that he hasn’t lost a thing as his power is still there, as is his ability to take a punch.
In 2004, Brewster stopped Wladimir Klitschko in a shocking 5th round knockout victory. The win gave Brewster the WBO heavyweight title and began a brief period of success for Brewster in which he defended the WBO title three times beating Kali Meehan, Andrew Golota and Luan Krasniqi before losing the title in an exciting 12-round decision loss to Sergey Lyakhovich in 2006.
After a year off from boxing due to eye surgery to repair a detached retina, Brewster came back in a fight against Wladimir Klitschko. It was bad timing for Brewster to take on Klitschko at this point in his career, because Brewster looked like he wasn’t ready for full contact yet and fought passively throughout the fight.
Brewster took few chances in the fight and ended up eating a massive amount of jabs from Klitschko. Ultimately, Brewster’s trainer Buddy McGirt stopped the bout following the 6th round because Brewster wasn’t competitive in the fight. Unlike the first fight between Brewster and Klitschko, Lamon wasn’t pressuring Wladimir effectively and was just getting nailed on the outside.
Despite the loss to Klitschko, Brewster has moved up in the ranks and is currently ranked #10 in the WBA and WBO.
***
Cruiserweight Marco Huck (25-1, 20 KO’s) will be challenging World Boxing Organization cruiserweight champion Victor Emilio Ramirez (15-1, 12 KOs) in the main event. The bout matches two sluggers with almost equal power going up against other. Ramirez, from Argentina, is a classic pressure fighter who likes to walk his opponents down and fire off big shots.
Ramirez isn’t blessed with a high work rate, and can be beaten if he faces an opponent that can take his shots and throw more punches than him. Ramirez’s boxing skills and defense is rather limited. However, with his big power, most of his opponents aren’t able to take advantage of his limited defense and work rate.
Huck will likely outwork Ramirez in this fight and build up a big lead. Ramirez has a chance, though, if he can wear Huck down and hurt him with something big. Huck has a history of stamina problems and generally fades badly by the 10th round. Huck was stopped by Steve Cunningham in the 12th round in December 2007.

One of his best fights was against Ray Mercer but I fear we wont see that again, simply because Wladimir knows he doesn’t have to fight like that. He can entertain but may lose. He has to win to get that Hall of Fame status not just entertain.
I would have liked to see him deal with Arreola, Chris I believe is tailor made for Wlad but would entertain us. I think Vitali will win but it wont be pretty.
I would actually like to see a third fight.
Clearly in the rematch , Brewster put in a poor performance.
I don’t think he would beat Klitschko but I believe he has the skills to at least give an entertaining fight.
Somebody needs to make Wladimir Klitschko move out of his comfort zone so he can put in the devastating performance I know he is capable of.
Brewster would have to view the “end” of the fight on the late news from his hospital bed. Lemon is actually just out for a handsome payday even if it means another crushing defeat at the hands of the champ.
What for? there is nothing to be gained by it.
Lamon won the first time but simply because Wladimir ran out of Gas. Wladimir knew that and went for a second fight, just to clear matters up. That’s it, move on.
There should be an * next to Brewster’s “victory”.
Inside information says that if a person orally ingests insulin (water bottle) especially if they’re not diabetic, it can be lethal.
Remember, it was Wlad’s 1st fight with Emanuel Steward- re-watch the pre-fight footage. Take notice of who’s in Wlad’s locker room.
The answer lies in Germany.
Lamon Brewster isn’t at fault. He did his job. But more importantly, he wasn’t guilty of premeditated murder that night.
The answer lies in Germany.
I SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!
PA
ps- Wlad would beat Lamon to a pulp if there were a 3rd fight.
I think the death of his trainer had alot to do with his hunger in the first fight.
The first time they fought he was taking shots to get inside,The second time it was apparent he no longer had that hunger to get inside.So it is obvious about what is going to happen a 3rd time.Wladimir Klitchko would just dominate him again.
