Botha v. Golota, primes

I want to say Golota, but that's only potential. Surely, even if Golota's winning, he gets disqualified for low blows or quits if he gets in trouble.

 

GoLATTA only wins fantasy fights.

 

Golota is the much more talented fighter overall but Botha comes to fight.

Golota probably gets Franz out within 4-5 rounds.

His jab is too good & he throws straight right hand bombs......................

 

Botha was a tough fighter he drew Briggs, gave Tyson fits and lead Holyfield before gassing

Golota was very skilled and good when he kept focus. That was something you cant always count on

though later in his career he fought Ruiz and Byrd to close decisions that many feel he deserved

and despite hitting hte canvas 3 times vs Brewster he got up every time and was angry when the ref stopped it

though other times he would **** the bed like vs Ray Austin a guy many thought he would steam roll

 

Golota. Botha was tough and a descent lower contender in his day, but golota was on another level at his best

 

Golota tears through him.

 

I'm thinking Golota, but then this is Golota were talking about, so who knows.

 

Did these guys have primes?

Maybe Im missing something.

 

Golota was the better skilled fighter, on paper he should win this easily...

But thats on paper, which is in a perfect world, in the real world Golota would probably snap and try to take a **** in the corner in between rounds and get DQ'd...

A very disappointing fighter, one of those 'coulda been' fighters...

 

Most likely Golota, but I think Botha may be mentally tougher and if he could survive getting busted up early, he might discourage Golota late.

 

With Golota the only think you can predict is unpredictability. Anything could happen with him, he could put on a masterclass behind his jab and win an easy fight or he could mentally crumble and throw it all away. I will be an optimist and go with Golota to win a UD.

 

Real tough fight to call. Both got stopped by Tyson but Golota was stopped quicker. Both got smoked by Lennox Lewis but again Goloa got smoked quicker. Really tough one to call. Golota showed a lot of skill in both losses to Bowe but lost both by DQ. Golota looked like a beast in the first round with Michael Grant. I am not sure that I have seen harder punches landed on any man but Grant got back in the fight and stopped Golota in the tenth. Botha I think has more heart of the two. Golota had the more potential. If the fight came down to heart or was a DQ win I would favor Botha. If the fight was pure skill and no DQ losses I would pick Golota on points.
