Wow that jab alone would have taken out Brewster given a few more rounds. He hits so hard with it, and is getting to be very hard to hit cleanly. Klitschko IMO is still a head higher than competition in skill. Should be interesting him against Chagaev.
Kudos to Buddy McGirt for encouraging Lamon to give up.
Jeah klitsckos jab was insane, I sped home to catch the fight and was lucky enough to get home by the third round, jeah gota work on a dam saturday. I've only seen ruslan fight once, so I can't really judge him but I think he would lose to wlad. You have to be able to absorb a crapload of punishment to beat klit, and that alone often times isn't enough as shown in the peter fight. Well naturally that isn't enough you have to be able to hit him too, and as you said that's getting pretty dam hard to do, so even if his chin is below average it's not as relevant anymore, and I don't think his chin is all that bad honestly.
I don't know Chagaev is pretty tricky, I don't think he can beat Wladimir, but he's sneaky, and thats all I am going to say about him.
If that fat bum had gone down in the fifth like he was supposed to,Id look like a god on the prediction thread ;D
Yep if your a tall heavyweight with a good snapping jab = a great shot at winning a title these days..although not saying wladimir is just that he does bring more elements.
He's moving really well - every time I see him lately he moves like a smaller fighter.
Just when I thought Wlad would throw 1 or 2 jabs he threw 3 or 4 and all would snap Lamon's head back with the same force!
Lamon has a hell of a chin and it's good to know he has a trainer smart enough to get him to take the loss to fight another day.
I would like for Lamon to continue fighting he's tough and a good fighter to watch...I would like to see him fight some top teir guys and even some younger guys. I really want him to avenge his loss to Lyakhovich though!
Both guys were class acts tonight
brewster does have a tremendous chin btw.its why buddy wanted to stop the fight, he knew that brewster could take the beating standing up, but in the long run he'd be all fucked up.
Oh yeah I totally agreed with the stoppage, Brewster's eye didn't need to take that jab anymore.
I hope Lamon comes back he's a good fighter he just needs more time with Buddy.
wlad dont just have a very quick and accurate jab...
WLAD'S JAB IS VERY POWERFUL...
Klitchko's jab has really improved up to this point. It's snap and quickness has improved, he throws a bigger volume of jabs and he doesn't paw as much anymore. Plus he's good at using his jab to just get in his opponents face and he can also throw a hard stiff jab with weight behind it.
He has one of the best jabs in heavyweight history.He throws it so fast and can turn it into a hook just as fast.He can win his fights with the jab alone if he wanted to.
He pretty much did beat Brewster with the jab! He threw other punches, but none as meaningful as the jab tonight.Quote:

I would love to see Wladimir-Sam Peter II because as much as Sam has gotten better, Wlad has done even more!
