Das ist eben nicht wahr. In Runde 2 war es deutlich sichtbar. Und nicht nur ich habe das sehen können:
I noticed that Wladimir was breathing through his mouth from the first round on, and actually, in retrospect, he seemed void of enthusiasm as he made his way to the ring. It was ironic to hear Steward telling Klitschko that Brewster was getting tired.. how could Steward not notice the obvious trouble his man was in?
Moving on to round 4, where Brewster successfully attacks Wladimir's body, and Wladimir comes back to sit Lamon down with a stinging right hook. Brewster beats the count; the round ends as an exhausted Wladimir tackles his opponent and both men go down. Wladimir seemed fatigued beyond words, but once again, Steward tells him that Brewster is 'really tired now'... Hmmm...
Round 5... A totally drained looking Wladimir Klitschko is assaulted by Brewster, who charges him, throwing left hooks to the head and rights to head and body, all power shots. Klitschko seems defenseless and unwilling or unable to protect himself. Ref Byrd gives him an eight count, which is not really an eight count; it is an eight count given when the referee deems that the ropes caught a fighter who otherwise would have been knocked down. I don't understand the technicality of it all, it sounds like an eight count to me, but what do I know? Brewster jumps all over Klitschko at the end of the count, and the bell rings, putting an end to the round.
Klitschko collapses face first on the mat, his mouth wide open, he is in serious trouble. The referee keeps a close eye, standing next to him, waiting to see if Klitschko will be able to return to his corner of his own accord. Klitschko struggles to get up, to no avail. The arbiter has seen enough, and calls the fight off, as he helps Wladimir to his corner.
"`He couldn't take care of himself,'' Byrd would say later. "I tried to get a response out of him but there was none. I've never stopped a fight like that before.''
Mayhem ensued, a very emotional Brewster is embraced by his team members, while Larry Merchant made his way to the ring for his customary post-fight interview. Meanwhile Wladimir Klitschko seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, almost leaning his head on the referee and then on Dr. Margaret Goodman's shoulder as she attempted to examine his eyes. It was disturbing to see him so hurt, so out of it.
We can report that according to Dr. Goodman, "Wladimir Klitschko was taken to the University Medical Center immediately following the fight as a precaution. There he underwent an evaluation that included a CT of the Brain. His studies were fine and he was sent home under observation by his brother and trainer, Emanuel Steward. He is doing well this morning." We thank Dr. Goodman for the report, it certainly is great to hear Wladimir Klitschko is well.
