    This is one hell of a fight. I'm not so sure that Bruno would blast out Golota. If Golota is on top of his game, this one could go either way. In fact, I think Golota's chances would be quite good if he fought his best.

    Golota eats the Bruno jab for a few rounds, gets frustrated and finds a way to get out of there (Bite/low blows) by the fifth/sixth rounds.

    Bruno....but he did have questionable stamina and was always one punch away from "freezing"

    Actually thinking about it, Look what Bruno Did with Lennox and Tyson and look what Golota did?

    Bruno from Tyson I KO's or makes Golota quit early.

    Bruno who fought Lewis makes Golota quit in the mid-late rounds.

    Brunos reputation since he retired seems to have went through the roof.

    He was the first guy to wobble Tyson and gave ATG Lewis a boxing lesson until he got caught. Ok hes nothing special, but hed KTFO of that overrated bum Golota

    I agree he did very well against Lewis.

    Still, he was a rabbit caught in the headlights against many a fighter. I think Golota would have been too dirty, too tough and pressurise Bruno into folding eventually.

    Its hard to judge Bruno against a 2nd tier fighter like Golota imo. Brunos career being largely made up of fighting either no hopers or World Champs. Very little in between.

    Thank god someone else thinks this. I thought maybe it was just me. Bruno, and in particular his power, gets tremendously overated on this forum. Yes he was strong but that does not necessarily equate to power. Offhand, apart from a shot Coetzee, i cant remember a single opponent of worth who he KO'd. Hes the only boxer that i know off that had a current affairs programme made about the questionable quality of most of his opponents (World in Action or Dispatches, something like that, and they concentrated a lot on the Chuck Gardner debacle).An amiable enough guy but veeerrry limited, i can see him folding after 6 or 7 rounds against Golota (another who hasnt exactly shone brightly but IMO had more to his game)

    I lean towards Frank early, but think it's a tough one to call. Depends on who got scared first, I guess.

    It would depend if Bruno Mars could get the jab going early if that happens I'd favor him to stop Golota

    Golota controls the fight for 8/9 rounds.

    Then bites Frank's nuts off and runs out the ring crying, testes swinging from his teeth.
