I knew Golota would pull it out. He is underrated. Maybe b/c he is crazy as a MOFO but I always liked Golota.
He was kicking his ass, but he was also getting his ass kicked. Great fights until he got stupid. Those fights also proved he has a chin, and it's his mental make-up that is always his downfall. Probably one of the best fighters who seriously was held back by his weak mind.
Golota is a fine guy! Respect to him for not giving up. Maybe he is finally getting rid of his mental issues. Though 39 years is way too late for a comeback :-(
Golota has the tools to beat Tua. Tua has a punch, but his has to land, Tua get's outworked all the time by BAD competition, he just gets lucky because usually that competition is very chinny and can't take a punch. I never understood the Tua love, the man is a very boring fighter most of the time.
McBride is not a very big win, no, but Golota did what he had to do. He beat the man they put in front of him. Job accomplished................. But its good to see Golota come back from being hurt, and taking over from then on. Showed he can recompose himself and go on to overcome the initial setback. Focus and mental strength was illustrated here. Great to see from Golota, for a change. LOL Now, Golota is gaining a bit of steem, and should either fight another Maddelone type fighter right away, or wait a couple months and fight someone more known.
It sounds like Golota almost got knocked out in the first round. I wish Showtime would show the undercard fights. Rather then show a movie they are going to air another 75 times over the next couple months.
I cant believe Mcbride lost! But it was his own fault. Look at him. He is in terrible shape. Looks like he only lifted weights and hit the heavy bag. Look how big his fore arm is!
