After Lamon Brewster scored a major upset by stopping Wladimir Klitschko to win the vacant WBO heavyweight title, promoter Don King lined him for his first defense against New Zealand contender Kali Meehan and they met at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas in the main event of a Showtime card. It was a hard-hitting fight and a highly entertaining battle. In the eighth round, Meehan hurt Brewster, broke his jaw and had him out on his feet, but Brewster, always with a big heart, rallied. He finished strong, including winning the 12th round on two of the scorecards, to pull out a split decision to retain the title.

In the co-feature, Cory Spinks, the son of former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks, retained the undisputed welterweight title via lopsided decision as he easily outboxed former longtime WBC lightweight titlist Miguel Angel Gonzalez to win 118-109 on all three scorecards. The card took place on Sept. 4, 2004 — 20 years ago on Wednesday. Here is a program in my collection.

The biggest problem with Boots is just activity. Build your profile, stop fighting once a year or once every 2 years

That money and notoriety would come. Can't be hoping and wishing to be a star if the casual fan does not see you 3 times a year and know your name. Plain and simple. I could tell IBF probably was looking closely at Boot's situation and was like "Oh nah, you ain't fighting once a year on our watch! You fighting Karen next!" lol
