I don't even know what a prime Golota is. The h2h monster who self destructs at every opportunity? Or the old fading giant who arguably edged Ruiz and Byrd? I'm gonna assume no matter how it happens Golota loses.
Bowe would have more success. I think Golota gives him trouble at any time. And I also think Golota melts down and loses at any time they fight.
This. Golota's jab gave Bowe fits and his ability to land shots in close while leaving Bowe whiffing air was what really did him in. The nut shots, ironically, saved the day for Bowe.
Bowe wins by early KO if he starts aggressive. Lewis and later Brewster showed that Golota can be blown out early if his opponent lands good shots at the start minute. However, that's a big IF. Rid**** could start slowly and then the fight would be very tough for him.
