Andrew Golota vs Wladimir Klitschko

He was beating Bowe both times. Golota was highly skilled, talented boxer and in the right state of mind beats Wlad.

 

And both times he lost. Wlad was beating Brewster and purrity before losing as well.

 

Gotota wasn't beaten. He checked out. Big difference.

 

He lost both times despite being ahead. he quit twice. Soon as wlad caught him, as every hard hitting hw did, he'd quit again.

 

He didn't quit because he got hit hard, he quit because he just quit.

 

He didn't have what it takes to beat bowe. He twice proved that.

He had the physical gifts but he couldn't put it all together at the top level.

 

Im not sure how anyone can think golota beat bowe. It isn't debatable, he quit twice.

Bowe showed great heart and did what he needed to win (fight back).

 

1. Golota lost to Bowe

2. Bowe was not in his prime in 1996. He was slurring his speech and had brain damage, he was washed up.

I'm speechless.

Name me one good fighter Golota ever beat? Just one.

 

Golota is a stud. With a decent brain and the heart of a champion like Lennox Lewis or Muhammad Ali, he'd be in with a great shot, here. Big, talented, skillful, and aggressive. It'd be a nightmare fight for Wlad.

But, he was weak. He just was. Andrew Golota finds ways to fold in fights.

I can see Wlad disposing of him in the first or second round, after the first big right hand.

If he doesn't, the holding and the clawing(Wlad's trick where he extends his left and pulls down on your head when you try to come under it) would drive Golota, literally, crazy.

Wlad KO 1-4, or by DQ no later then 7. Either his right hands cause Golota to freeze, like Lennox Lewis and Lamon Brewster and Mike Tyson, or his spoiling causes him to go insane.

 

Golota had by far a more respectable skill set than Wlad, its undeniable. Good reflexes, great body attack and a very decent inside game.
He beat Byrd, no question about that. Even got a KD that wasn't scored.
Wlad throws one punch in an attempt to win. If that fails he has nothing. Pulling down on Golotas head when he gets close will result in brutal body pain and Wlad panic's worse than Golota under pain.
If Golota can get inside and work its his fight to win.

 

When he pulls his head down, those shots would be going low, which proves my point.

Hard to get enough leverage to bring the pain when a forearm is on your neck. Trust me.

 

Golota walks in at angles and stands tall. How is Wlad going to reach up and drag his head down?
He isn't.

 

Golota v Byrd was a fair draw. He got robbed against Ruiz though.

He's just never held it together at the top level. Bowe, grant, Tyson he implodes mentally. Plus his chin is weaker than wlads in my opinion.

Wlad destroys him.
