    No matter how ATG PAC is he is not going to KO Golota in 2 to 24 rounds ...
    the best what PAC can score is a draw if he can hit Andrew above the belt line :lol:

    W/ Pac's excellent workrate and handspeed, Golota will be pummelled by a thousand left straights and right hooks per round on the head and body. He'll be knocked out in 2 rounds. :lol:

    It would be really interesting what could happen in the first round.

    But to the truth i don't see PAC reaching Golota chin so no way he would KO Andrew.
    From the other hand I don't see Golota reach PAC nuts either so no way Golota lose by DQ
    ..... this way or another I smell a long, long, long night for PAC :lol:

    After the Brewster debacle and subsequent long layoff, Golota's skills declined terribly.

    He lost almost all of his speed and fluidity.

    If you watch the Byrd fight, he still had deceptively quick hand speed and could throw his combos together nicely. Sure, he was nowhere near as quick and fluid as when he had fought Bowe, but he was still fast enough to be competitive with any heavyweight around at that time (2004).

    A shame Golota wasn't born 10 years later.

    :smoke

    Yeah, the Golota who fought Byrd and Ruiz (and even that version of Golota was a shell compared to 90s version) was simply not the same Golota anymore in the Mollo and McBride fights. Look how clumsy and slow Golota looks post Brewster. The guy just declined more and more. But, at 39 and 40 years old, what were we to expect. I guess Brewster knocked the **** out of whatever was left of Golota.

    First Golota lost his once great jab, and then as he got older, not only did he no longer have his jab but he lost speed as well. Golota was always deceptively quick for such a big man. Without speed and jab, there's just not much left of em. Sadly.


    Oh, BTW

    I'm really gonna miss Golota when he's gone, but I guess a nut job like him will always stumble his way into the news every now and again with his infamous antics outside the ring.

    At the very least, we should hear about more ski and car accidents.

    And to think, the guy once aspired to be a truck driver. :-(

    Watch Golota against Mcbride. He was throwing some great combinations. It just takes time for him to warm up and that's where's he's vulnerable in that first round.

    He was showing flashes of 90s version Golota against McBride, but he was still very slow. Even today's version throws pretty good combinations on the inside. He rips the body and head very well. But when he's fighting on the outside he's so easy to hit and his punches are very slow.

    Also, McBride is even slower than Golota so I think Golota wa able to look better against him. He was schooling Mollo until he got tagged with a right hand that messed up his eye. He's just so easy to hit these days.

    How many fat ladies would it take to sit on your face to ensure Golota a title?

    :yep
