    Here we look at the mental Pole's bouts with Chris Byrd and Riddick Bowe.
    Both were very entertaining and high paced, he also gave a good account of himself in both despite the 7 years between them. Any ways...

    Classic. Quite possibly the strangest looking card I've ever done. I don't know if you can actually score a round 9-8 tho, Surely @PhillyPhan69 can inform me on that.

    Golota vs Byrd
    1. Golota 10-9
    2. Even 19-19 (Byrd 10-9)
    3. Byrd 29-28 (Byrd 10-9)
    4. Even 38-38 (Golota 10-9)
    5. Golata 48-47 (Golota 10-9)
    6. Golota 58-56 (Golota 10-9)
    7. Golota 67-66 (Byrd 10-9)
    8. Even 76-76 (Byrd 10-9)
    9. Byrd 86-85 (Byrd 10-10)
    10. Even 95-95 (Golota 10-9)
    11. Golota 105-104 (Golota 10-10)
    12. Even 114-114 (Byrd 10-9)

    Same result as last time I just got there a different way. And now I can spell Golota right lol. Good fight tho, one of the more underrated HW scraps imo.

    Been a while since I have watched it. Generally it is called the 10 pt “must” system for a reason. The winner “must” get 10 pts...with the exception of a penalty pt. Reduction (ie low blow, head butt etc.) and even then it is generally scored 10-1 rather than 9. Can you give me the specifics of the round? Dual KD’s penalty etc.

    I could, but where's the fun in that!

    No I will, Golota scores a KD, then Headbutts Bowe (intentionally) and has a point removed. I wasn't sure if thats a
    10-9 round or a 9-8 round based on it being called a "ten point must"

    Based on what you said:
    10-1 to 8. You can call it 9-8 but traditionally the pt. ,Although we commonly call it a 9-8...the pt is deducted from the total score rather than the round...but at that stage it is semantics we are talking about.

    I can’t find one for Bowe/Golata but if you click the link and look at rd. 10 you will see what I mean by 10-1 rather than 9

    Interesting, thanks. I'll change my card to formally include this, are you gonna do one? Or is asking for a HW bout to much?

    Bowe vs Golota 2:

    Round 1: Golota 10-9. Bowe threw sloppily. Golota's jab is solid
    Round 2: 9-8 Golota (19-17 Golota). Good knockdown. Good slugging.
    Round 3: 10-9 Bowe (28-27 Golota) Good last 10 seconds. Golota is tough
    Round 4: 10-7 Bowe (35-37 Bowe) Holy **** Golota loves low blows
    Round 5: 10-7 Golota (45-44 Golota). Golota hits hard. Both are gassed.
    Round 6: 10-9 Golota (55-53 Golota).
    Round 7: 10-9 Golota (65-62 Golota). Golota doninated. Bowe is heavily gassed
    Round 8: 10-10 Even (75-72 Golota). Again, they're exhausted.
    Round 9: GOLOTA YOU IDIOT

    I'll watch Golota-Byrd later

    Bowe's corner was close to stopping it. Riddick never had good defense, and it didntl help that he was shot for this this. A dangerous beating, Golota hit hard enough to hurt Bowe, but not quite hard enough to take him out.

    A great heavyweight fight marred by low blows. One wonder what if Golota did not DQ himself and won. What next?
