Pressure busts pipes. Or in the case of Golota, makes them hit people in the nuts. Any sort of distress and this guy hit the panic button and found a way out. He’d do the same with Max, probably while ahead on points.
I like Golota's skills and size over Baer. I think he can do this without a single low blow or head butt.
Baer was a glorified club fighter skill wise. Golota had much skill and size over Baer. You never know with Golota he could decide to suddenly quit but if I had to bet my house I m going with Andrew by mid round stoppage.
This is the trouble with backing Golota in a fantasy fight. On paper, he has many things going for him but almost never managed to put it all together for a solid win. He just doesn't have many convincing wins over world class opponents and tended to foul or crash out when things weren't going his way. Against someone like Baer, this could lead to one of the biggest disasters in the ring. He would be more than happy to let this become a wild, ugly brawl and would also be happy to mix in some egregious fouls. Considering Baer has the edge in power and chin, I can't see things ending well for Golota if he abandons his edges in skill and technique to have a mud fight. So it's a big "if" when saying if Golota keeps it together he could win.
We are basically matching a man who lost fights that he should have won, against a man who lost fights that he shouldn't have been bale to lose.
