No problem. This was a great tear up as Nigel Benn used to call em.
I do NOT agree with the stoppage. Brewer was hurt like that before in the Scott Pemberton fight and came back to win that one !
Echols slipped or was tripped during the first knockdown.
Brewer deserved a rematch, but Echols wanted no part of it.

Dyou eevr watch Herol Graham against Brewer? He dropped him a couple of times before his own chin let him down again. If he is such a defensive wizard how was he kod so many times?;D
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Always Liked Brewer, extremely entertaining free swinger who lived and died by the sword.
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Brewers best perfroemance was against Galzhaghe. That was a classic.
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Read that Brewer did well against Calzaghe, and never knew he fought Herol Grahm. I'll have to watch both of those. Definately the Grahm fight. I can't stand Calzaghe.
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Love to see brewer in the super six, is it me or punchers in the heavier weight divisions don't have snap any more....great fight

Charles Brewer and Nigel Benn could do some damage in the super six. :cool:
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Yeah I think Ortega maybe stopped it too soon. I couldnt see Brewers face so maybe his eyes rolled over or something, but to let Echols come back from that 3 knockdown round, he should have gave Brewer the same chance. Both of those guys can bomb and dont necessarily have the best chins out there. Brewer probably should have gotten nods over Ottke, and a good fight of his is against Pemberton.
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
Herol Graham fought Brewer in his last ever fight and was 106 years old. Bomber had put on a good series of wins against an undefeated Canadian and Vinny Pazienza before he fought Brewer. In that fight Graham fought away from home, knocked down Charles, who injured his ankle as he went down. Brewer sucked it up and stopped Graham on the ropes. A younger version of Graham would have won the fight easily.

You Brits sure think a lot of Herol Graham. I've never watched many of his fights so I can't say much about him.
Seemed to have a bit of a fragile chin though. Of course ANYONE could be KO'd by Julian Jackson.

Yes my favourite British fighter, wold have beaten Benn, Eubank and Watson. He was number 1 contender for the title that Hagler had. definitely the best fighter never to win a world title.
Re: A forgotten CLASSIC 168 lb war
That was a cracking little punch-up. Terrible stoppage though. Think the ref panicked seeing his head snap back.
I was amazed Cazlaghe didn't drop Brewer at the time. Cazlaghe was known as a banger then and, as has been said, we'd seen ancient old Graham dropping Brewer. Entertaining fighter.
