I just posted Lamon's victory of Derrell Dixon back in 1995, which led to him representing the U.S. at the Pan Am games. Having not followed his career before this fight, I've always thought of this as his coming out party. Enjoy!

Thanks! Brewester was an extremely talented HW boxer. He just couldn't get focused when he needed to. Too many female and other personal distractions.

Is that what happened to him against Lyakhovich?

Wow Brewster looked good in that clip! It a shame he didn't stay in shape and focused

Lamon did look good in that clip against the defending 2 time national champion. Lamon does have some power. We will see how he does the second time around against Wladamir Klitschko.

About halfway down the page in this Interview Lamon talks about some of the distractions that led to him losing to Nate Jones in the Olympic trials. Certainly not an excuse. Just an explanation. All fighters have to deal with distractions during crucial times in their careers.

Lamon won the bout against Nate Jones years later in the pros. It was Nate's last pro fight as it was soon discovered that Nate was suffering form neurological damage.

I met Nate back in 1996 right before the Olympics,we shared a few laughs about the infamous bite he received from Davarryl Williamson (Williamson also beat Brewster at the Olympic trials so Lamon must have been very distracted by the divorce). Very easy going guy, it is a shame his career ended the way it did. When Lamon is focused and on he is very hard to beat,Wlad may find out the first fight wasnt the fluke he thought it was. Wonder if any Vaseline will be in Klit's camp THIS time,lol.

Yes, I know Nate too and sparred with him back in 1999 or so.
The question is - will Lamon be "on" or not? Wlad might be a little better prepared this time too. A little more cautious and won't run out of gas so soon. I'm looking forward to the bout.
