He probably tired himself out just as much trying to lean on Brewster as he did punching him.

Okay, I have seen the fight now. He did do a few things that weren't in his 'European style' repertoire, namely holding, pushing, leaning and using more lateral movement (he seems to have pretty much stopped going straight back after punches). This will all be courtesy of his new trainer, Emmanuel Steward, who used to train Lewis to do all the same things.
Jury is still out on what caused the early fatigue after the weird blood tests, but I can tell you it wasn't the leaning, that's to make the <b>other</b> guy tired.
I don't think he has the chin, heart, meaness or guile to dominate in the hw division though. Time to cash in the chips and go home to Kiev.
Vitali, on the other hand, is one to keep watching. <br><br>
