    Tucker wins this by wide UD or possibly TKO. Better boxer, faster hands, much tougher.

    It would be close not much to choose between them except Tucker is stronger mentally, I pick Tucker to win by a close decision unless Golota has one of his moments.

    If Golata fights clean then I may be inclined to barely picking Tony Tucker by a decision or late stoppage. But honestly I say that with little conviction. Tucker wasn’t terribly aggressive and often fought defensively which is the opposite of what tended to put Golata into surrender mode

    Tucker by ko 11. Whilst slightly behind on the cards maybe.

    I see Tucker outpointing Golota. Tucker is the more well rounded boxer + his timing and handspeed combined with his reach is the main factor. Although Golota is physically strong enought to push Tucker back, he will be eating a lot of delicious straight hands wile moving towards Tucker. He might be crafty enough to sneak in a few isolated shots on the inside + i see him making the better trades occasionally but it won't be enought.

    With Golota? who knows. The same guy who brutalized Bowe could beat Tucker but Tony is the favorite here by UD .

    Who knows with Golota. I'd be giving it to Tucker based on the true grit required to go the distance with Tyson while one-handed.

    Tony would win by UD. Andrew would make it very hard for him, however.
