Lennox Lewis vs Andrew Golota... What happened??

That was an arm injury -_- not a ko by any means.

 

Because Golota's promoter said that ****? You don't think Golota's promoter has a motive to make that up? You cannot be that dumb.atsch

 

Lewis obliterated him with early nukes, what else is there to say?

 

An irresitable force met an immovable object.

The object got moved...flat on its arse.

 

He was in with PEAK Lewis(not far off the best of all time), he was getting destroyed no matter what the circumstances whether at his very best or not.

 

With Golota, it was always more of a mental thing!

Against Lewis, he was intimidated & Lewis took full of advantage of that!

Same against Tyson. Once he got hit with that right hand & was dropped, he didn't really want to know thereafter!

Bowe was not in shape for Golota!

 

Golota got destroyed by Lewis. That's all there is to it. The Yanks thought Golota could rid them of Lewis. They hated Lewis and after watching Golota destroy Bowe they thought he could take out Lewis. But "The Lion" would not be denied, and destroyed the quitter Golota in one brutal round.

I also like how you ignore the "Duva said he didn't know whether it was the drug that caused the seizure" line.

Lennox Lewis' devastating combo ****ed Golota, not no stupid drug.

This is like the Klitlickers saying Wlad was drugged vs Brewster.atsch

Was it a coincidence Golota looked fine until Lewis smashed him in the face about 20 times?:rofl

Was it a coincidence Wlad looked fine until Brewster landed a devastating hook on his fragile Glass Mandible?

 

This is all that needs to be said. Lennox felt a little threatened by Golota, come out and blew him away. That is all!

 

It was actually a combination of events that transpired. Lewis was very aware that Golota is the type of fighter who panics when getting hit, especially early. Lewis said he picked up on this watching Golota at Seoul Olympics and essentially created the blueprint in their fight on how to beat Andrew Golota - a blueprint that many other fighters would try to follow by bum rushing Golota early. I think it seemed obvious to everyone that Golota got better and more confident as the fight went on.

The Lidocaine shot just made things worse. I don't know to what extent it affected his performance or whether Golota losing his vital signs after the fight is true. If its true that Golota won a lawsuit against the doc that administered the lidocaine, then there might be something to it.

The only other similar scenario to the Lewis fight is the Brewster fight, but Golota was a few years removed from his prime by than. Again, Brewster followed Lewis' blueprint to a tee, jumping on Golota very early.

 

I remember like yesterday. Sitting in my friends basement in Staten Island & when it was over in 90 seconds, the fight wasn't bad enough. My "Buddy" started bad mouthing Golota & I really didn't need that **** at the moment.

Had he been 100% in mind & body, he would have lasted through Lewis' early assault & would have went on to inflict a "Bowe" number on his ass, too.

At least thats how the dream should have turned out!:yep

 

Against Austin he got injured and was forced to quit. Big difference and cannot be used in this argument. The only time Golota was really knocked out in every sense of KO was during his prime was against Lewis.

 

There are a number of reasons as to what happened. The biggest reason is the shot of lidocaine Dr. Scott Katzman administered to stave off Golota's knee pain. But it's a much more deeply rooted issue than just that. First and foremost, the Pole had just lost back-to-back fights to Riddick Bowe. Golota SHOULD HAVE NEVER FOUGHT LEWIS IN 1997. The former's promoter, Main Events, were only in it for the money. They wanted to make millions on their fighter's name after he became famous for punching Bowe below the belt. They smelled all the potential moolah thanks to the intrigue Andy's dirty fighting generated. Suddenly, Andrew Golota was a celebrity who was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. When Andrew signed to fight Lewis, that was the prime example of just how poorly advised and managed he was. The first step after two DQs is to rebuild your career, not to be thrown at the wolves (into a world title bout) by your promoter.

But all in all, it's the lidocaine that stopped Golota. If not for the shot, we would have seen a war reminiscent of Andrew's battles with Bowe. But the lidocaine made the Polish heavyweight legend light-headed and dizzy. Adverse side effects of lidocaine include blurred vision, dizziness, and seizures. Shortly following the bout, Golota suffered a seizure in his dressing room and had to be rushed to the hospital.

 

The shot had a lot to do with it, but Golota's mind was not stable, sometimes he could fight well, the next time he could not.................

Vlad "was" drugged against Brewster, way too much proof, but in Vegas, at that time Don King owned boxing. Read the Judd Beristain letter, read what Emanuel Steward said. I was in touch with team Klitschko that night, a punch does not cause a fighter's blood sugar go up to dangerous levels, two blood and urine samples disappeared, etc., do yourself a favor and read the Judd letter, the info tells a lot more than just about Vlad's being drugged, it has bribes, fight fixing, etc., read it or keep your head in the sand and hide because you don't want to believe it, kind of like Trump's alternative facts..................Vlad was drugged, that is a fact. The biased media made me want to puke, the media used to lie about Vlad's fights, Vitali's also, I warned them to stay away from Vegas, after that they never fought in Vegas again. I suspect after all the bad decisions in Vegas we should all avoid paying for fights in Vegas, it's corrupt as hell!
