Im a big Mollo fan, but is anyone else disappointed in his fitness? ****en average for a guy who considers himself a legit contender. He nearly was tko'd via exhaustion!
His constant bending, when clinching, did not help either. This is what happens when you have bad stamina: you can't even beat a 40 year old, fighting with one good eye.
be that as it may - if he was well conditioned he would have been able to throw those hooks all night long and they rocked Golota.
With TOS, I believe Mollo hit his ceiling. Outside of a knockout win, the outcome of this fight was all too predictable. And his stamina is one of the worst I have ever seen for a heavyweight, not too mention a heavyweight who is relatively light. Golota, who weighs 10lbs heavier and is 12 years older, had much more stamina.
I can't believe he held on...it looked like he was going to fall over on his own in the 9th round but managed to stay on his feet.and the rounds after it was the same thing somehow he didn't go down.
He was giving Golota a blow job all night long. That bending is a bad, energy draining, habit on his part. I was surprised his trainers did not tell him to straigten up, when clinching.
I could tell after the first few rounds that he was going to be extremely tired if the fight went into the later rounds. He's got a lot of muscle on him and should get down to about 210-215.
