    2 boring counterpunchers.

    Andrew always throws enough combo's and jabs to keep it exciting.

    Haven't read that this fight has been confirmed, the last I heard was that it was Golota against Briggs or McCline in China.
    Briggs-Golota is the more interesting match for me as Golota likes to trade and Briggs has huge power early, where Golota is usually stiff and prone to the KO.
    I can't see Briggs outpointing Golota in any scenario, and if Briggs is gassed after 4 rounds as he usually is Golota will not hesitate to go for the kill.
    I would take Andrew by late TKO and it should be exciting as Golota will engage and could be KO'd at any point by a Briggs right hand.

    :yep

    And Golota has the power to also KO just about anyone, at any point, as well.

    That is what makes this fight so appealing

    Very true. Andrew is one of the only guys out there that can make a fight with Briggs exciting.

    You are right, its not important. BUt do you really care about that? I don't. Was Gatti-Ward important?

    I think Golota ko'S Briggs

    This is exactly what "past his prime" guys should do. Fight each other. The only way to make it exciting. I like it.

    You can depend on Golata snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Golota will win if he can get through the first couple of rounds, if Briggs jumps on him the way he did against Lennox Lewis Briggs will win, but we havent seen that Briggs for a long time, I am taking Golota in this one.

    Very good fight. Golota is the better boxer but their is a distinct possibility that Golota will **** himself at some point in the fight and suffer a dramatic defeat.:smoke:smoke

    I've been to 3 of Golota's fights. There's a lot more action and clean punching going on in the stands than there is in the ring!

    I take Golota UD. Maybe even TKO if he can accumulate the punches on Briggs enough. Golota is a good techinical fighter and I think his corner will know what the recipe will be to bring Briggs down. Hopefully he can do it, I am pretty sure he can.

    :bbb:bbb Andrzej!!!!!!!!! :happy

    What has Golota said to the media on him being a ****-up? Curious.
