You make some good points, but I think if Golota can keep that monster off of him til the mid rounds, Peter's flat footed, out of steem, wild swinging, coupled with minimal defense, will be where Golota starts to take over, and land the overhand right with regularity. Golota is a not only a powerful puncher, but he's a good boxer who has very good stamina, especially for being 40 and 6 foot 4 and weighing around 245. When it comes to training and conditioning, Golota is light years ahead of Peter. And when it comes to skill level, finding an opening, and getting your shots to land, Golota is also ahead of Peter by quite a margin. And I don't think Golota is too far behind Peter in power. Peter probably has some more thrust to his shots, but Peter's power is way overrated, as we've seen. And Golota can drop a sturdy chin with one good shot, as he did with Ruiz, and many others.

But Peter's early attack and wreckless aggression (shots to the back of the head) will be what Golota will have a hard time getting past. I hope Golota don't get that deer in the headlights look once (if) Peter nails him with a clubbing shot. But obviously his best bet is to keep the jab pumping right in Peter's face to keep him from getting a chance to hurt Golota. That'll be a tall order, and that is what I think the fight's outcome hinges on.

Regardless of who thinks what, I think we are in for a great fight between two powerful punchers who both will lay it all out there.

Peter does not throw wild looping shots anymore, unless he knows he has his man hurt, no since the wlad fight has he really went in just throwing wide looping shots, and his defense has really improved, minuse the first three rounds of the MCCline fight, watch the maskaev fight and watch peter bob and weave underneath the shots maskaev threw:good

Ugly fight, yet still possibly fun. I lean toward Peter by mid-rounds KO, but with those two, anything could happen.

Golota never got KO'ed in the mid rounds. Either it's a 1st round jerk off or he folds in the end, one way or another.

That said, I think Golota is on a mission and he's coming out full balls. Peter is a tough customer but Golota is no joke when he's in the right mood.

I hate predictions because for example I picked Maskaev over Peter, but I'm going to have to go with Golota for the distance.

I have always liked Golota and think he has a legit chance here. However, I'm not quite ready to predict an upset. I really thought Golota would beat Brewster and was disappointed. So I have to go with Peter by TKO here.
