	[No title]
		When Kali ‘Checkmate’ Meehan steps into the ring at the Mandalay Bay on September 4th to challenge WBO heavyweight champion Lamon ‘Relentless’ Brewster, it will be the realization of a dream that began many years ago for the 34-year-old New Zealand-born Australian.
		Meehan's first fight back was against journeyman Damon Reed on the untelevised portion of the undercard of Brewster's title winning fight against Wladimir Klitschko in April of this year.
		Meehan is under no illusion as to how he is regarded by the majority of the media, but he takes it all in his stride and simply hopes to put on an entertaining show for the fans.

	Lamon Brewster vs. Kali Meehan (September 4, 2004)
		Meehan clocked the champion with no less than a two dozen blistering right hands to the jaw but Brewster somehow stayed horizontal and went on to win the fight with at least two of the judges.
		It was in the 8th, in which Meehan trapped the champion on the ropes and appeared to be on the verge of knocking out Brewster and ending the fight.
		Meehan seemingly did enough in the final round to tip the scales in his favor, as he scored with several combinations and three hammering right hands to the head.

		Meehan claims he started this fight ‘cold’ and that he was actually ready to continue after knockdown number two.
		Meehan then went on to fight every available heavyweight in Australia until his 2nd fight in the United States against Damon Reed (38-9) at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada winning by TKO in round 6 bringing his record to 29-1 (23 KO’s).
		Kali Meehan, if in top shape, can outbox and outpunch Lamon Brewster for another big upset in the ranks of the boxing champions and could become the first heavyweight boxing champion based in Australia and born in New Zealand.

	Kali Meehan: Make, Break or Mismatch? \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing
		Kali Meehan appears to be in grossly over his head in taking on the former champion Rahman.
		Meehan was able to parlay the Williams loss into a WBO Heavyweight title shot by pointing to Williams after he knocked out Mike Tyson and saying, “See, I’m not that bad, he beat Tyson too!” Then again, we all seem to have forgotten the shadow of a fighter that "Rusty Iron" Mike Tyson has become.
		As losing begets title shots, Meehan was rewarded with the right to fight for the WBO title against Lamon Brewster who got his title, in reality, from a fight he lost.

		Kali Meehan, left, was the underdog in his fight against Lamon Brewster and lost in a split decision.
		Meehan's title eliminator vs. Rahman is part of a Don King card also featuring title defenses by Chris Byrd (vs. Jameel McCline) and John Ruiz (vs. Andrew Golota) and the return of Evander Holyfield (vs. Larry Donald) after a year off.
		Although Meehan (29-2, 23 KOs) is the least-known fighter on the show, he earned his way onto such a significant card with a spirited and controversial decision loss to titlist Lamon Brewster in September.

		Rahman (40-5-1, 33 KO's) began tattooing Meehan's (29-3, 20 KO's) face in the first round and by the second stanza, the native of Auckland, New Zealand was bleeding steadily from the nose.
		Meehan attempted to fight his way out of the corner but Rahman continued to unload brutal overhand rights to the face.
		At the sound of the bell, Meehan's corner had wisely seen enough and they refused to let their man answer the bell for the next round.

		His opponent, a former sparring partner named Kali Meehan (29-2-23 KO's) of Australia was suddenly and mysteriously ranked 15th by the WBO and seemingly given an opportunity to become another 'World Champion' if he could beat Brewster.
		It was clear throughout the promotion of this fight that Meehan and Brewster really like each other and that their time sparring together in Brewster's preparation for the Vladimir Klitschko fight led to good friendship.
		Meehan was robbed but he showed no signs of anger, disappointment, contempt or outrage when he was totally justified to do so.

		KALI MEEHAN: In the [my] fight with Danny Williams, I came out and threw some punches at him and I thought to myself ‘he is so easy to hit.’ I had my hands down and he hit me with a good shot.
		KALI MEEHAN: First of all, I am honored that I am considered good enough to fight [LAMON] Brewster and Rahman and to be in this mix.
		KALI MEEHAN: The referee has a job to do, but at the same time if it was me being pummeled in the ropes, I wouldn’t want the referee to stop the fight.

		Meehan would say only that it was his job to fight, not to disagree with the judges, and he was happy just to have fought well and, he hoped, gained some fans in America (which he surely did).
		Meehan, too, boxed in the manner of someone who was pacing himself, a little more understandable in his case as the 34-year-old had never been past eight rounds.
		When Meehan was able to land the jab, the right hand, a body punch here and there, without a great deal coming back at him, the underdog realised that at the very least he could box on even terms with Brewster.

		Meehan's recent successes on the world stage can be attributed in large measure to his trainer since 2003, "Magic" Mark Janssen, who retired as an undefeated Australian middleweight ranked in the world top five, before becoming a trainer.
		Meehan has taken up training at the Parramatta Rugby League Team Training Facility in Sydney where he is currently in two-a-day workouts: He runs sprint sessions from 6 a.m.
		The Parramatta players have been fascinated by Meehan's training sessions and have become fans of the heavyweight, and Meehan is a fan of the team as well.

		Now, I would love a rematch to prove that when I’m right it would be a different story.” The fight before Rahman, Kali had lost a controversial split decision in a WBO title fight in Las Vegas against champion “Relentless” Lamon Brewster.
		“Even though we thought Kali had won the fight, and it was a great experience, he only showed 50% of what he is capable of.
		I feel like everything has come together in the last year and I have at least three more years left.” With Kali bursting on to the scene in the Brewster fight, many people have wondered why they had never heard of the big heavyweight from Down Under.

	Can Kali Meehan Pull a Lamon Brewster?
		Now Meehan, 34, emanates the same overt emotions as the two are collision bound for the WBO heavyweight title on September 4, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
		Meehan returned to jeers from Australian fight fans who muttered the words that break a fighter's heart: he has a glass jaw.
		Through it all, Meehan showed in his Las Vegas debut what he does best: stalk and attack as patient as a leopard on the hunt.

		For Meehan’s part, he figured he would have to go back in line after the disappointing loss to Brewster (which many believed he had won).
		That path leads through Meehan, and a win will put Rahman in line for a shot at the winner of the WBA heavyweight title bout (also on November 13) between champion John Ruiz and challenger Andrew Golota.
		Meehan, who was stopped in a single round by Mike Tyson-conqueror Danny Williams in 2001, knows that to avoid being a stepping stone on Rahman’s way back to the title he has to be sharp and on his game from the opening bell.

		Brewster: I think with any fighter who wants to be better, you want to watch tapes on fights and you want to see what style you think compliments yours and you want to see what moves that maybe they do against certain opponents that you may be able to incorporate into your arsenal.

	Ringside Report Staff Picks for "Battle For Supremacy"
		Hasim Rahman vs. Kali Meehan: I am going to take Rahman over Meehan only because I feel Rahman has the one punch power to end the fight early.
		Meehan looked better against Brewster than he probably really is. Brewster is not a top shelf heavyweight himself, and that fight was very pedestrian.
		If Meehan pulls a carbon copy of his win over Brewster, (yes, I said win even though we know he lost), Rahman is in for a long night.

		Meehan, of course, said goodbye to the trawler, settled in Wyong on the NSW Central Coast, and worked his way up the heavyweight rankings.
		"Kali has been around, he's been with us in camp, but what he is going to see on Saturday night he didn't see in camp with us," Suluki, looking into Meehan's eyes, said.

	Chauncy Welliver VS Kali Meehan 8th Dec. - Boxing Forum
		Meehan isn't a smooth or quick, but he's big as a house, and strong as an ox.
		I don't think Welliver can keep Meehan off him, and that should be the story of the fight with the caveat that both guys show up for the fight in shape.
		Meehan should take it but he has to have kept up the vast improvement in his fitness levels and skills that nearly got him the win against Brewster.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - "Four Course Heavyweight TV Dinner "...by Stephen Jones
		Kali Meehan for all of his faults does deserve a fight of this magnitude, his gallant losing effort against Lamon Brewster was enough for all to see he is ring worthy in this kind of company.
		If the Meehan that bruised Brewster meets the Rahman that sleep walked against Ruiz, we could be in for a very interesting fight.
		Both Rahman and Meehan can box and punch and are physically strong heavyweights; Meehan having the edge in athleticism and ambition, while Rahman has the edge in power and experience.

		When Kali Meehan next steps into the ring, he hopes it wont be just another “tune up”
		If boxing fans had a dollar for every time they heard a fighter talk about renewed dedication and hunger,and how the stars were now aligning in their favour, and then give a list off the usual excuses for the bad performances we would all be very rich.
		And more often than not they look the same or worse after giving the usual comeback spiel, but when I asked Kali what he had to say to the doubters, he was straight to the point.

		In the Heavyweight division, Kali Meehan had a surprise stay in the limelight in 2004, with many observers thinking him unlucky to lose to a weak Lamon Brewster for the WBO title (although I scored the fight a draw), and then being outclassed by Hasim Rahman in an IBF eliminator.
