Thanks, Don. I'm wondering. Is Brewster that good in taking a punch or has Klitscho never been the slugger that many of us thought? I'm certain, having seen them take out a few opponents quite quickly in past fights, that both of the Brothers 'K' have big punches; however, I think that last Saturday night, the decisive factor was Brewster's jaw, not the strength of Klitschko's punch. In the Etienne fight, Brewster ate hundreds of punches, including many on the inside, and didn't waver - in fact, one of the things Larry Merchant mentioned before the fight began was that Brewster, apparently, had never been knocked down; one can add to that fortitude the 'mission' he'd put himself on given his trainer's recent death and the confidence that must have built, round after round, considering that Wladimir Klitschko's punches were surely weakening over time. So I'd have to conclude: Klitschko is a big puncher...one of the biggest, in fact...but last Saturday night, that fact was irrelevant. BTW, did you pick up some of that odds? Goodness, Don! It's not becoming to discuss money or the lack of it in public circles. :-) LPS5
