    I agree. I just dont think Frank can put enough pressure and punches together to make Golota quit, he was always not more than a one two guy. I think its a close fight.

    Thats what i mean, Brunos always one punch away from freezing.

    But Golotas even worse than him. Got DQd against Bowe, Quit against Tyson, got KTFO by Lewis.

    I think theyre evenly matched.
    Look for Bruno to run out of gas or freeze, or look for Golota to lose his marbles

    It has to be a certain kind of pressure to make Golota meltdown though. I just dont think Frank has that kind of coordination or offense to do it. He could certainly hurt Golota, but I dont think he has that type of sustained offense that Bowe Tyson and Lewis had to make him quit. In a boxing match Golota could be very good.

    I think Bruno hit hard enough to get Golotas attention, its only a matter of whether Golota melts or Bruno runs out of gas....

    True Bruno never really had much of an offense, apart from a 1-2. I think its an intruging match. However u have to take into account Brunos performance against Tyson/Lewis and Golotas.

    In fact if Bruno DID land a big punch, i see Golota quitting rather than Bruno finishing him off, Bruno was a very poor finisher.

    bit of a wild card match

    I wonder how Golota would mentally take to the rough holding & hitting behind the head, that Bruno did to Tyson in '89 & Lewis in '93? :think

    The difference being that Bruno folded physically Golota folded mentally.I take Bruno to stop Golota inside 5 or 6 rounds if it goes beyond that Golota's chances increase.
