lost his WBO title by decision to a relatively unknown fighter from Belarus,
Sergei Liakhovich.It was a good fight with a lot of action, something
the heavyweights need, after the snoozer between Rahman and Toney.I
thought the fight was close enough for maybe Brewster to pull it out as he
scored the only knockdown in the fight and the champ often gets the benefit of
the doubt in a close fight.It was a fair decision though and this fight
was well worth seeing, two guys battling it out to the end.|

station ticket office and said, "I'd like a round trip ticket, please." The man
behind the ticket counter asked, "Where to?" The Irishman replied, "Oh, der.
Back here, stupid."....sorry.|

the fight. I trust you that it was good action and exciting. Still, there's a
silliness to the fact that a guy no one has ever heard of beat a Champion that
only a few diehards have ever heard of. Even with this good news that a decent
fight took place, there's a rusty lining to the silver cloud---the division is
awful when an unknown beats a relative unknown to win a title. Also, I'd rather
that someone (except John Ruiz) could hold the belt for a while like Lennox
Lewis did, so at least we'd have a stationary target for contenders to shoot
for. Instead, it seems like a different name every few months. |

once again trampled on my feelings.I've decided that your either an Englishman
or a Scott.However,your joke about the eating of roadkill was uninformed.It's an
aquired taste.|
|4/3/06 05:41:40 PM|Steve|na||na||||10|Angelo,I agree that the pickings are
getting mighty slim out there and I just have a guess.Could it just be an answer
as simple as our modern society is giving the really talented young
athletes,black and white,better nutrition,better education,and better
oportunities in more humane ,sensible sports,where they can make money and not
retire with brain damage.I hate to write something like this.I love boxing!|

least Brewster vs Belorussian (Lyakovich?) was agreat match with knockdowns,
plenty of guts and seriously hard counterpunches with both guys desperate to
win. Brewster won't be an Ali, a Foreman or a Holmes, he won't even be a
Bonavena but he has serious guts to win his last four fights from losing
positions. That I'll give him credit for, compared to the turgid defensive
rubbish bought up by Toney and Rahman. I think Klitschko is bound to beat Byrd
and the Eastern Europeans/Russians will be dominating for a time.|
