    Damn you want to see Bowe die?:huh That is the reason I knocked a Lewis Bowe fight and put forth the fourth bout with Holyfield. :bbb

    I don't think Bowe is brain damaged enough to sign on for a third fight for Golota. That would be a horrible mauling.

    Hey, found this:

    Boston Herald, Sunday July 6th 2008
    by George Kimball

    ...In other heavyweight news, the last man to defeat Mike Tyson and the guy who hopes to lure Tyson out of retirement have been spending a lot of time in the ring together. “Clones Colossus” Kevin McBride and former champion Riddick Bowe have engaged in several spirited sparring sessions at Brockton’s Petronelii Gym.

    McBride, who hasn’t fought since a loss last October to Andrew Golota and whose second child was born this spring, has been working with Bowe, who claims to have a Tyson fight arranged for Dubai. Bowe, inactive since 2005, is widely considered to have seen better days, but his 1993 bout with Holyfield remains the only official loss on his 42-1 record (he took a lot of punishment in two fights against Golota, both ending with the Foul Pole being disqualified).

    I'm glad he's having fun, but when someone like McBride is going you "spirited sparring" it's time to hang the gloves up perhaps...

    I'd relax. This fight won't happen, we've seen him with scheduled bouts before on boxrec but just a week before the fight is supposed to happen it gets cancelled. He's not gonna fight

    Golota is a nut case who quit in almost every fight that got tough..

    But recently he face Mike Mollo and it was an excellent fight.. all credit..

    I thought the fight that was supposed to take place in a parking lot getting canceled would be the last straw. If he's gonna fight again, at least give Billy Zumbrun a rematch.
