Why did Golota like punching guys in the groin so much?

    Did he ever comment on it in later years why he did that? It had to be more than just sloppiness but actual tactic, was there some greater goal involved with him being such a ball breaker?

    I often wonder why someone wants to be a boxer as opposed to a football player, baseball player, basketball player et cetera. My conclusion is some people box to showcase their skills and some people box because they want to legally hurt people. Golata falls into the latter category.

    Probably because his brain just goes into a mode where he can't control himself and goes for low blows .... Due to the fact he likely utilized low blows during his street fighting days prior to professional boxing

    Basically he reverts back to old habits

    Has anyone considered it might be because he is starting to panic with the other guy still being there and it would actually be best to escape any incoming whooping by being disqualified?

    No Andrew suffered from severe anxiety. He was a very good fighter. He could box, jab, throw combinations. Good pop on his punches, good handspeed.
    His problem was that even when he was winning if a man kept coming back at him and didn't give up he would panic. He beat the crap out of Bowe and Grant but neither quit. Hitting low so blatantly was his eject button.
    If he didn't have those mental problems he would have been tough to beat.

    This makes sense to an extent, but there are easier and less deplorable ways to give yourself an out than to intentionally target the groin. That could potentially end someones career or ruin their balls for life.

    He could have made a gesture to have his corner throw the towel. I mean he's not above simply quitting in the middle of a fight as we saw in the Tyson match. The guy should win an award for worst sportsman conduct of the century.

    Well I don't know what it's like to have his condition. Whether we call Anxiety or panic attacks. Hard to say what that is like in that moment. Whether he can think rationally or not. There's alot of pressure in that ring with a man in your face.
    Just saying suspect Golota less a bad guy as much as he was a sick guy. I doubt he planned to disgrace himself and be labeled a quitter or a dirty sport. I could be wrong.

    The better question would be why did guys crotches like to jump in front of Golota's fist so much.
