"Relentless" Lamon Brewster quickly brought it to Andrew
Golota from the opening bell, and retained his WBO strap with
a stunning three knockdown TKO blitz that took no more than 53
seconds.
Both fighters met at center stage with Brewster tossing bombs
from a crouch ala Smokin’ Joe Frazier, while Golota faced the
onslaught in a more erect stance. The Brewster hook quickly
landed with power while the Golota offerings appeared lacking
in potency.
For anyone that blinked, the second knockdown mirrored the
first, with a relentless Brewer scoring to the body before
another left hook deposited Golota to the canvas and through
the ropes.
Still, the Polish veteran managed to beat the count before
going a down a final third time from a curtain dropping left
hook to the jaw.
Brewster now joins the Klitschko, Byrd, Ruiz third share
holders of the big prize in what could well jump start some
new life to the division. Other possible contenders includes
the temporarily shelved James Toney, Rahman, Barrett and new
kid on the block Sam Peters.
As someone once said, "Let there be light," or something
similar.
