"Warrior" Brewster quit on his stool

[T.S.]

After getting a boxing lesson quit sitting on his stool. His own trainer knew he got his ass beat and knew had no chance of winning.
I guess when your head is banged like a speed bag and mountains of lumps are swelling from your forehead it's time to quit.
So much for the die before losing dedication, Brewster was beaten into a pulp and forced to waive the white flag.
Another GREAT AMERICAN HOPE dispatched to the nearest hospital emergency room.

[Danny Ocean]

[Chief_Second]

[eze]

What a bunch of haters. You should all be banned for being so stupid.

[Ramon Rojo]

Well well, what do we have here?

Bunch of internet armchair warriors dissing professional boxer with a good record.

"I'm hungry. It don't matter if I have to fight Wladimir Klitschko, Superman or Frankenstein; I want that title. He's going to have to kill me."

What a joke that Brewster is.

you're definately keeping to the title neewbie.

boxers say a lot of shit to hype fights. it's happended for years and is pure acting. you must be a ufc/wwf fan

[Illmatic]

What a bunch of haters. You should all be banned for being so stupid.

seconded. This guy defied the odds again and again, won a title, got pounded for a living again and again and even suffered a career threatening injury and all of a sudden is a joke. Go kill youselves.

Who the fuck do you think you are!?

Your achievements in boxing must be really great if you can afford to call Brewster a bum.

[HandsOfGold]

Brewster had no choice IMO. I mean McGirt was constantly assuring him he'd stop the fight, let's pull the plug, you're not doing this, that...I mean after hearing all that it's not easy to come back with a "Let me continue"...

Brewster would have kept fighting on, that should be beyond a shadow of a doubt. But he finally succumbed to McGirt's constant threats to stop the fight.

[brooklyn1550]

Good move by McGirt - Brewster is a warrior, but realized he was taking too much punishment

[punchmaster]

Big cosign. These keyboard warriors kill me.

[jopez707]

What morons; Brewster has shown his heart numerous times in his career; He is pretty much an overachiver who became a Heavyweight Champion. McGirt stopped the fight; Brewtser would never have told him to stop the fight. He was being completely dominated.

[barneyrub]

The trainer said after the first round he wasnt going to let him get hit tonight. That proves the injuy was a factor, all they wanted to do was hold a tight defence, they threw nothing and psychologically if not physically it had a huge effect. He looked like bruno coming into the 2nd Tyson fight as he walked in, I said it from the time this fight was signe dthat it was a nonsense fight. A guy coming off a loss and injury! Wlad looked very good, well done to him, but I dont know how much credit this brings. The winner of chageav Ibragamov will hold the lineage of victory from his Brewster loss over Wlad and he needs to beat that winner to cement his position, thats without even considering the title belts that winner holds.

[Smith]

Any boxer has more heart than you fag ass hard man behind your computer, its not as simple as fighting on. If you are being pummelled and there is a very real chance of something serious, you need to make a decison. Some of you will never grasp this concept, the hard mother fuckers you are. Bet whoever says he is a quitter has never boxed a round in their life, all fighters cant all be like Castillo (who is incidentally dead, hmmmmm)

Idiots

[Boinko]

Brewster has shown a lot of heart in the past, but each situation is unique and this one warranted him quitting. It made no sense for him to get beat on.

That is why I very rarely criticize fighters for quitting on their stool. I'm in no position to determine the exact nature of a fighter's physical condition.

Most fans would be wise to follow suit. One day they're trashing a fighter for quitting on the stool, and the next day it's one of their fighters doing the very same thing.

I give most fighters the benefit of the doubt when they choose not to continue. I'm not taking any punches so it's easy for me to be critical!

Palease a year ago the man was blind in one eye was off a full year then comes back to fight wald at the top of his game with out a tune up , if you even thought this fight was going to be competitive your full of the BS .. Brewster had no business in the ring with Wald after a serious eye injury and long lay off.
Boxing at it best. :verysad

Excellent post.

[Burundanga]

Look I appreciate the sentiments of all those who agree with the stoppage but was Lamon really hurt? Didn't seem that Wlad really caught him with anything big. I mean, quitting on your stool because it appears you have no chance to win is not exactly the spirit of the sport. I quite simply did not see the damage done (granted from the comfort of my sofa).

I don't know man. People on this site bitch and moan about Vit Klit "quitting" with a torn rotator cuff and the same folks are justifying Lamon bailing out because he was not making any progress with his game plan. He got hit WAY more in the first four rounds their first fight and came back to win.

This fight just stunk in my opinion.

[Irish Steel]

But in the previous round before it was stopped, mcgirt asked " be honest, do you still got it?' And he said yes i still got got it.

[box1]

As if any of those complaining would agree to stay in after a single round with Klitschko. Some of these make me laugh.

Also, I'd rather be a quitter who can still see than a blind "warrior." We have no idea what would have happened had that eye injury been aggravated again.

You are bloody ignorant, Brewster is a WARRIOR!
You are not entitled to call Brewster a quitter, idiot.

[diamondDave]

Only someone who has been in the ring and taken that pounding round after round can truly appreciate how Lamon felt. McGirt is a fighter he could see what was going on and he knew the end was near. Lamon knew the end was near too. Lamon gave it all he had for the first 6 rounds and there should be no shame on him...but when push came to shove Klitschko proved who was the better fighter!

[Mendoza]

he didnt quit mcgirt pulled him out


nice try anyway faggot

Um, Brewster said " OK " to the stoppage. Its a quit job. Brewster and McGirt knew Wlad was going to knock him out.

[C Money]

Brewster didn't quit, he respected the OPINION of a good trainer who was doing the right thing. It wasn't lamon suggesting it, it was Mcgirt and in between rounds 4 or 5 Mcgirt asked him if he felt he had it and Lamon said YES and wanted to go. Another round or two of the same, and Buddy being more assertive about it, he agreed/acquiesced to the proper advice.

If buddy hadn't said anything?? lamon would have continued taking unnecessary and potentially permanent damage:good

[Boro chris]

Who the fuck do you think you are!?

My sentiments exactly. Assholes like that make my fucking blood boil!:fire

TWAT!

[markbrooklyn]

Hey I don't like guys just quiting but Brewster gets a pass. In alot of his fights he took alot of punishment but didn't quit.. I mean cmon now.. the guy had a detached retina and was facing the best heavyweight in the game right now gettin his ass handed to him. But I'm wondering if Brewster doesnt have the heart to fight anymore since he kept talking about being around for his kids and not being punch drunk. He's a good guy though.. Nothing wrong with quitting there.. I do however have a problem with Kermit cintron quitting against Margarito and that heartless faggot Acelino Freitas.. 2 guys there that like to dish punishment and knock people out but when they get hit they want to quit like little hoes. thats the type of fighters i cant stand that quit.

[Shotgun]

You can't hold it against Brewster for quitting. He just reached a point in the match where he realized he was spent and had no chance to win. There's no sense in going back out if you have nothing left to give. I've been highly critical of McGirt's merits as a trainer but he deserves respect for doing the right thing and protecting his fighter

[Boxfan1]

Well, I hate to blow my own horn, but I predicted that Brewster would quit on his stool. Honestly, the man had no choice. Wlad wasn't getting tagged with anything he threw, nor was Wlad getting tired as so many had predicted. If anything, Wlad looked more like someone that was getting ready to really turn it up, and I think Brewster sensed that. He was already beaten badly with only a jab, so could you imagine if Wlad had opened up his full arsenal? He probably would have seriously hurt Lamon. Anyway, it was a good show, and good example of how boxing beats slugging.

[boxingcar]

Brewster IS a warrior...

[Irländsk]

Lamon took a lot of punishment in that fight and he couldn't land anything

of his own on klitschko. Chances are he would've been knocked out in the 7th as

Klitschko was just starting to get some big right hands through. Entirely

correct decision not to continue. Any one of you cunts calling him a punk or

a quitter don't have a clue what's its like to be in the ring, let alone beat up for

6 rounds knowing that eventually a monster right hand is gonna knock you

unconscious. Yeah you guys would be running out for that 7th round.

Fucking tossers.

[venbox]

This was a pretty poor performance by Lamon. No defense, out of distance, no meaningful punching output, looked like he didn't even try his best. I hope he retires after this. There's no point in signing up for a fight if you're not giving everything you got once inside the ring. If you're injured and not willing to play it to the bone, then let another, injures-free man take the fight. Quitting on your stool is not what boxing is about, sadly each year there are more and more fights that end this way.

[Suge Green]

Brewster is no joke...he's just not a warrior anymore. He obviously still has the chin, just not the desire.

[jmastersherm1]

Burandanga you're assessment is right on the money.

[Cruiser1]

Buddy McGirt did a very good thing by stopping the fight. It's one thing if Lamon was taking alot of shots while landing some good ones of his own but he wasn't letting his hands go at all.

[box1]

Brewster is no joke...he's just not a warrior anymore. He obviously still has the chin, just not the desire.

You're right, he just doesn't have that desire to go blind that all of you seem to have for him.

[Loufatski]

would you have stayed in there

Bowe stood in with Golota (twice)... and he won, but who really won?
