    Golota against Lewis. In the press conference Golota was cocky and he acted like he was going to walk thru Lewis like with Bowe. He showed up late, had some kind of injections administered and then had some kind of panic attack. Lewis picked up on it and creamed him the poor stiff. Golota's interview after the fight was priceless.

    Be confident on your abilities, not cocky.

    Not sure how Paulie was humbled that night, a cut-causing headbut in the first exchange... Pretty much pointed the fight in one direction.

    When nate cambell fought Robbie Peden the 1st time he was easily winning, but he dropped his hands and stuck his chin out to mock Peden, and Peden delivered a single punch to his chin, KO'ing him. They rematched the next year in Australia, and Peden beat him up and stopped him in 8, I believe.

    Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman, he was arrogant by not training properly.

    I thought the people behind him were jerks, I actually felt badly for him. They just seemed in it for themselves.
