Interview: Lamon Brewster
By Przemek Garczarczyk
Former heavyweight champion “Relentless” Lamon Brewster, who scored spectacular knockouts over Wladimir Klitschko and Andrew Golota among others, talks about what made him angry even BEFORE he even stepped in the ring vs. Andrew Golota 14 years ago in Chicago and what made him “Relentless”…

Brewster had his moments in some entertaining wars in the ring. If my memory serves me correctly, he suffered a detached retina in one of his fights from some massive exchanges. Brewster was not a huge star in boxing, but he did have some great moments.

I was a huge fan of Brewster throughout his career. He was a warrior and sounds like he is doing well even with the detached retina. He was an exciting champion and in some of the best fights of that time, e.g. v. Golota, v. Lyakhovic, v. Krasniqi

Stonefree, quit judging others you lame ass coward clown. Brewster would make you shit in your booty shorts if he looked at you after making such a stupid comment….

I met Lamon in September 2015 in Hollywood FL at a gathering for former heavyweight champions. He and Chris Byrd are very laid back and it was a pleasure meeting them.
By the way, the author of this article got it incorrect. It was not some “25 years ago” since he KO’d Golota. He was not even a pro then, LOL. It was May 21, 2005 (almost 14 and 1/2 years ago) and it was one of the fastest KO’s in a heavyweight championship fight. I know the date well because it was exactly 10 years to the day later that Lamon and I spoke on the phone for the first time.

Did you know he and Chris Byrd are cousins? I was a big fan of Chris Byrd. You got the feeling he knew exactly what he was doing in the ring…until he fought Ike Ibeabcuhi that is!

Byrd was rather small as a heavyweight, but boy, he had some great defensive skills in the ring. Byrd would frustrate fighters just trying to hit him at times. Yes, I enjoyed watching Chris fight.

Ike making a comeback, possibly!? ha ha

brester was an exciting fighter,he had some remarkable power. i will never forget the fight he had with klischko. it was an action pac fight. the the rematch did’nt go to well.

Brewster could fight and brawl like Joe Frazier. At the top of his game he stood a chance against any heavyweight.

Brewster said something that alot of boxers say… But he actually meant it when he said it about wladimir klitschko. He said “that man is gonna have to kill me”. His Will was great at a certain point.

He was a top guy who could beat anyone if his era

If one of these great trainers had taken a shine to Brewster he could have been one of the best all time

BREWSTER was a fighter that literally exploded onto the scene and his fights were so interesting because hw would trade and something was goin down! That guy got in there to swing! Gotta respect that!

Brewster was heavily featured and promoted on USA Networks Tuesday Night Fights (That series was awesome) when he was first coming up. He kinda tooks ever where Shannon Briggs left off as the next great American Heavyweight hopeful. He then lost to unknown Cliff Etienne and atempting to get back on track, he lost again to Charles Shufford. He was then written off as another heavyweight bust. That is until he re-emerged out of nowhere and took out Wlad! That was truly awesome. After the fight, Klitsko tried to blame his cutman for smearing Vaseline all over his body causing heat exhaustion. What a crock of shit !

I miss USA Tuesday night fights Sean O’Grady great fights every Tuesday at 9 pm loved it.

Ditto Dat!! Too bad USA took it off the air. Boxing was soooo good back then!
Loading...
I always liked Brewster and he got lucky he Golota out early, he seems to have his shit together hope he invested wisely he seems like a great dude.

When pretty boy floyd retired from boxing, I retired from viewing the lame ass matches that are being forced on true boxing fans!

There must have been racist fans that supported golata like what happened in the bowe fight to be spitting at Brewster.
