    This is Golota's Farewell Fight.


    And its a rematch from their 1996 fight. Golota headbutted (Intentionally) Nicholson, then scored an 8th round TKO.


    If Im not mistaken, this was part of the Night of Young Heavyweights card.

    10 years ago he came up short in a controversial draw against IBF champion Chris Byrd, and then again in an even more controversial loss against WBA champ John Ruiz.

    Why would have he retired then?

    :huh

    I can accept that!
    :good

    Although I continue to maintain that the perfect time for him to exit would have been following the Mollo win. It was the first time he overcame adversity, in a career riddled with such failures, and he beat a local rival in doing so. But it was also obvious that night that Golota had become painfully slow, and that he literally "slowed down" far faster than what usually appears to be the norm for aging pugilists.

    TBH I'm actually kind of worried about Golota losing this one, he is absolutely shot to pieces at this point.. He lost to Saleta who is also shot, but was never actually that good.... I hope Andrew pulls through here and can go out on a high note.

    What do you guys make of Golota, looking back?

    In my frame of reference (1992 onwards) he is one of the most formidable white heavyweights I have seen. Obviously not on the Klits level. But in terms of hand-speed, combinations, chin, power, technical ability, size. He was quite a package for a white heavyweight.

    I remember reading an article after one of the Bowe fights and the writer was saying that Golota possibly throws the best combinations at heavyweight since Muhammad Ali...


    It's very easy now to look back and disparage Golota. But in that short window of time from Bowe I until Lennox destroyed him he looked like a monster.

    I grew up in the era of the Great White Hope. If you are barely out of school and grew up with the Klits as champs you wouldn't understand.
