I smell FOTY a-la Gatti-Ward: Adamek boxing his head off beating Golota to the punch closing his both eyes while Golota scoring 3 knockdowns per round with a final draw announced :smoke.
Man, You dont understand me. Im not saying comparing Adamek to these guys :silly I wanted to say that in this fight Golota had mental problems. He had skills to box full 12 round even with prime Lewis, but the problem was his head. It was very strange. In big fights Golota didnt fight as real Golota used to. It was his head that paralysed him :think
Golota's mental problems in Lewis/Tyson fights were directly related to the fact who Lewis and who Tyson were. Golota was 'scared' before fight and he found the first possible opportunity to find the exit. Brewster was just lucky doing Lewis on Golota with perfection ... that was his plan from the beginning. I seriously think that if the ref allowed fight longer Golota would survive the first round and won ... but that does not matter. Adamek would never create psychological problems for Golota even in his deepest & darkest mind state. If Golota is not scared of his opponent then he is for a tough fight. Also Adamek have no power to repeat what Brewster did he is not that type of fighter, he can cacth Andrew multiple times and score knock downs from time to time but it may be not enough.
You are probably right. But You dont know what may happen in Golota's head. He may be winning the fight on points like vs Bowe1 and Bowe2 and vs Michael Grant and lose it in stupid way. On the other hand he may fight badly since 1 round and lose the fight early. I disagree that Adamek cant make psychological problems to Golota. Adamek may win some early rounds and Golota may start having problems with his head (he will know that he is losing on points) and he may start being nervous and make stupid things. Its the first example that came to my mind. I dont say that Adamek must KO Golota early to destroy him mentally... I only want to say that opponent dont have to be stronger physically than Golota. Brewster wasnt stronger.
Golota is too old to make any real rounds. If he doesnt KO adamek early he will quit or be stopped later in the fight. Or he will just mentally explode and foul out or be dq'd.
But that are not problems from Lewis, Tyson, or even Brewster, that are problems which were in both Bowe's & Grant's fight ... slow frustration leading to quitting, now Andew is way past it, as he proved against Mollo. I belive Andrew can still get scared from someone with great punch but he will not get frustrated anymore.
unless adamek's chin is titanium, golota should be able to wear him down. golota has slowed but he can still land a variety of punches and adamek usually isn't that hard to find. obviously a lot depends upon how well adamek handles added weight and a hw punch. tough fight to call but u'd have to think that a close fight is gonna go to adamek due to him having the bigger upside, so i'd probably favor adamek slightly. plus is golota even back to the pre austin form following the arm injury?
