03/30/2006 Archived Entry: "Quotes From Brewster and Liakhovich"
Final quotes from WBO Heavyweight Champ "Relentless" Lamon Brewster and his challenger Sergei "White Wolf" Liakhovich
Lamon Brewster: "I feel very angry inside because I'm ready to fight. School's in session on Saturday. I'll be the teacher. This was the best training camp in my life. I'm the best I've ever been. Buddy McGirt has been a Godsend for me. It will be a great fight on Saturday night."
James "Buddy" McGirt (Brewster's new trainer): "People think I've made a lot of changes but I'm just bringing out the skills Lamon already has. The heavyweight division is searching for the next great heavyweight. Boxing needs a dominating, great heavyweight and it's Lamon's time"
Sergei Liakhovich: "To fight for the heavyweight championship is the greatest opportunity of my life. On Saturday, Lamon will not meet another European fighter. He'll meet something totally different than he has experienced. He will taste my power on Saturday. I'm ready to fight"
Kenny Weldon (Liakhovich's trainer): Lamon Brewster is a fellow Christian and a really good guy but we have a job to do on Saturday. It's what we came to do and what we will do--win the heavyweight championship. Sergei had 150 amatuer fights and has only been knocked down three times in his entire career--twice as an amateur and once in his lone professioanl loss to Maurice Harris. Sergei is not the kind of guy who is going to get hit once and go away. Lamon's in for a fight on Saturday."
