COLOGNE, Germany (AP) -- Wladimir Klitschko beat Lamon Brewster with a technical knockout after six rounds on Saturday to successfully defend his IBF and IBO heavyweight titles and make up for one of the most painful losses of his career.

The Ukrainian clearly dominated the first five rounds, making repeated contact with his strong left jab that largely went unanswered.

Brewster seemed to be standing up to the constant punishment, but two massive left-right combinations in the sixth round rocked the American. Before the seventh could start, Brewster's trainer, Buddy McGirt, flapped his towel and referee Sam Williams called the fight.

The match sounded like Klitschko completely dominated it. This was the first time Brewster ever got knocked out in a fight by the way. Klitschko is truely the only dominating heavyweight now in boxing, give the guy some competition!

The guy just stood and got it. Not much a test for Klitschko.

Lamon Brewster was actually a pretty good guy to challenge Klitschko, but like you said he got whooped.

However, in 2004 Brewester knocked out Klitschko and that is probably the only reason they had the rematch.

Brewster came into this fight with a 29-3 record, and was a former WBO champion. The lost to Klitschko was the first time he was ever knocked out, so you can't argue Brewster didn't at least deserve the match againt Klitschko.
