Local Boxer Grady Brewer Takes World Title

Grady-Brewer Just in case Albert “THE PUNISHER” Onolunose wakes up today or tomorrow and wonders where the rest of the weekend went... Here's a hint... Grady Brewer, family and friends were celebrating and Albert's manager was at the embroidery shop having the back of his robe and trunk waistband changed to read "THE PUNISHED".

After having his original opponent, Anthony "The Messenger" Thompson (now known as Anthony "Just Leave A Message And I Might Get Back To You" Thompson) retire rather than enter the ring, Grady put his months of training to use by ending Albert's untarnished winning record. Not only did Grady hand Onolunose his first loss but he also gifted him with his first KO loss.

The thirty-eight year old Brewer spent the first round testing the youngsters reach, offensive abilities and most importantly his defenses. When the the second round started and Onolunose attempted to put together a combination, Grady "Bad Boy" Brewer provided the Canadian with a boxing lesson.

Onolunose, a 28 year old Nigerian born fighter, made two mistakes. The first was when, in the course of the combination, he dropped his left hand and Brewer landed a right that connected squarely with Onolunose's jaw, dropping him to the canvas.

The second mistake that Albert made was getting up off the canvas. When Onolunose regained his feet and the referee continued the bout, Brewer stepped in and began pounding on his opponent with body shots and big left hands to the head. Early in the second round Brewer delivered the fight ending uppercut and Onolunose was out before he crumpled to the canvas.

Grady "Bad Boy" Brewer (now 26-11, 15 KOs) takes home the IBC junior middleweight world title and the comfort of knowing that youth, speed and power are not always a match for experience, maturity and real talent.

The most talented boxer went home with the belt.. THAT is certain.

Brewer and his wife operate a gym "Bad Boy's Boxing And Fitness" in Lawton and are passing on the art of pugilism and new ways to stay fit to a new generation.

Yes the photo is appropriated from the web because I haven't seen Grady since the fight.
