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.

Think Joe said that was his hardest fight or up there with the Eubanks one.

I have a Ring magazine with excerpts from Calzaghe's book and he talks about how tough and hard of a puncher Charles Brewer was.

He mentions how Brewer was a tough fighter, and he could see it in his eyes when the fight was signed that Brewer had the hunger to win back a world title.

He also talks about how Brewer still had a bullet lodged in his body from a street fight years ago.

Also Brewer was a southpaw that converted orthodox so his left hook was terribly powerful according to Calzaghe, but not his right hand.

Brewer was definitely up for the Galzaghe fight and lucky Joe brought his "A" game, also did not realise he was a converted southpaw.
