Though I was never very impressed by Andrew Golata, I still think that the version who thrashed Bowe would have beaten Sanders. Of course, looking at what Sanders was able to do to Wlad and a at a very late stage in his career, its not impossible that the opposite could have happened, but I don't think it likely. I think it would boil down to who outlasts who, and Corrie's stamina was terrible.
Golata was a better fighter, but considering that Sanders is a first round specialist and Golata is infamous for crumbling in round 1, I have to go with Sanders KO1.
I think Golota finds a way to blow it, like he did every big fight he ever had. At least Sanders won The Big One at least once. Besides, Golota has a history of coming apart against punchers, and Sanders certainly was that if nothing else. Sanders by KO/TKO at some point.
The Golota that fought Bowe knocks out Sanders in 3 or 4 rounds,but he was a fragile minded guy and I can see Sanders knocking out Golota too. No matter what thought this fight does not go past 4 rounds.
Sanders punched hard, and thats when Golota started looking for ways out of the fight, when he got hit hard. I dont Golota winning a boxing match, someone gets knocked out or quits and most likely Golota.
Golota was dusted early more than a few times. While I'm impressed by his performances against Bowe, I think that most quality SHW's in general would have tremendous success against Riddick due to styles. Especially the Bowe that fought Golota in both fights. I like Sanders early, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
sanders would brutalize him for the beginning of the fight and golota would eventually resort to his infamous dirty tactics by headbutting him or hitting him in the crotch.
