How far could Golota have gone if he was simply allowed to low-blow people?

    Starting with Bowe-Golota I, Golota will never get DQ'd for low blows for the rest of his career. Refs may deduct a maximum of one point per round for Golota's low blows, no matter how blatant, but no longer can disqualify him or deduct multiple points per round. In the event that an opponent is unable to continue due to Golota's low blows, Andrew will win by stoppage.

    The immunity is not reciprocal. Opponents can still get DQd for low blowing Golota.

    Golota is unaware of this stroke of luck, though, and will only continue to low blow people with the same frequency that he did in real life. In other words, he will not change his approach to center his game on exclusively low-blowing people into submission. Rather, he will simply foul as one part of his approach, as he did in Bowe 1 and 2.

    How far can Golota go? Can he beat Bowe either time? Does Lewis stop him? Tyson? Is this new, DQ-proof Golota going to hold the undisputed championship for any length of time?

    Golota soars above Ali and Louis and becomes the undisputed GOAT

    Man, his low blows were artistry in action. True kiddie-head-flattening, bloodline-ending, own-jizz-shooting-up-the-throat power shots that turned eggs into scrambled eggs. I say he becomes The Last Emperor, the sole remaining heavyweight, where other heavies either quit the game or boil down to cruiser cause they don't want to fight him. A whole generation is lost.

    The worst part about he and Evanders dirty fighting was how rehearsed it was.

    Headbutt low blow combos are not something you do "in the moment" Mr Fields lol.

    Honestly I think Tyson, Holyfield, or Lewis could still probably take him.

    Well Lewis and Tyson iced him before he could even contemplate harming there baby factories.

    I think that's what provoked the all out attack to be honest lol they saw what happened to Bowe and just thought "nope"

    Is this a comment about Jack Dempsey?

    Where do you get these fanciful creative scenarios CT?
    You sport both rigorous scien-terrific & fitness based analyses, + a big taste for the absurd.
    Keep it up! But how could Golota (Golower) not become aware of the change where he is never penalized for anything he does?

    He would eventually and I feel bad for anyone he has to fight when he does.

    The premise is absolutely nuts.

    If Golota needed to go there I’d be wearing a cup with protruding spikes, mace style, waiting for him. I guess that’s not allowed within the parameters of the hypothetical.

    Like chins, scrotal resilience could be become a “thing” and be legitimately rated alongside all other features of a boxer’s armoury. We’ve all seen those guys who can mentally prepare and cop a major hit in the cajones. As for me, I know from experience that I would be deemed to have a “glass” nad sack. Doesn’t take a lot and I’m down for the count. My eyes are watering just thinking about it.

    Difficult to say. Golota appears to be a great 'middle-wicket' puncher, on film, but there's rumor some of his best ball-breaker shots were not all that and his opponent took a dive.

    Two solid wins over Bowe, though - Not bad.

    Honestly, they probably could. But free low blows would make it a lot closer and maybe give him a chance of winning.

    He did actually get a big title shot off the back of those DQ losses to Bowe, and pretty much made his reputation in those fights, and many people talk about them as if they are WINS for him.

    Lewis simply didn't give him time to find his range.
