Lamon Brewster vs. Andrew Golota
Fight Notes: In the second defense of his WBO Heavyweight Championship, Lamon Brewster scores a thunderous first round knockout over Andrew Golota. Seconds into the bout, Brewster lands a left hook to the body, followed by one to the head that floors Golota. Golota gets up but is immediately knocked through the ropes to the apron by another left hook from Brewster. Although he beats the count again, Golota is drilled by several more shots and dumped onto his back again, prompting Referee Genaro Rodriguez to stop the massacre. |

Re: Lamon Brewster vs. Andrew Golota
Fantastic performance by Lamon Brewster. Great job by his coaching team, coming out with a bull-charge was no doubt part of the game plan, they saw that Golota's jab wasn't what it used to be, and without the jab he can be pressured to move backwards, which is where Golota is thrown out of his rhythm - he badly struggles when he's forced to move backwards, you could see that in how he sometimes loses his stance and how problematic it becomes for him to put leverage behind his shots, and as a classic European boxer, he lacks proper lateral movement to quickly and safely regain sense of positioning - so I would imagine that Brewster's team had an idea, where Brewster would have a much higher chance to get the job done if he gets Golota by surprise. Unlike John Ruiz, Brewster had the speed, power and technique to do that, he was able to slip behind Golota's jab, Golota wasn't ready for the pressure from the opening seconds and therefore was forced to move backwards, struggling to regain composure, Brewster threw him out of his stance pretty quickly and caught him with a hard left hook that Golota obviously didn't see coming, and at this point the fight was basically over before it even started. This matchup would've been a lot more interesting if this was Golota from the late 90s, Brewster has shown throughout his career that he has problems pressuring quality out-fighters with a good jab, one could wonder if he would be able to get Golota by surprise in the same manner, or the entire game plan would be completely different.
