Lamon Brewster's first WBO Title defense was a hotly disputed, split-decision win over the lightly-regarded Kali Meehan. His second defense, on May 21, 2005, was a highly memorable performance: he knocked down Andrew Golota three times in the 1st round. Brewster went on to score a TKO - in just 53 seconds - to retain his title. Lastly, in September 2005, he survived a severe beating by a German-based Kosovar Luan Krasniqi only to KO the latter in the 9th round, while trailing on all cards.
On January 9, 2011, Brewster announced his official retirement.
