Step back in time.........Andrew Golota versus Michael Grant

Don't really wanna step back in time for this one. In fact, I'd rather forget this fight altogether. Very disappointing.

 

Yea me too man. I saved money all summer to buy a ticket to that fight drove to Atlantic City sat in the first row..... And watched my hero at the time quit. I heard him say no when Neuman asked him if he wanted to continue. Neuman shouldve never asked him though just said box. He probably still wouldve found a way to lose though.... One of the many Horrible memories of Golota ! Seeing I was at Lewis vs. Golota also.

 

This fight took away from Lennox win against Grant, because after Grant fight with Golota he was looked as having a very suspect jaw and then when Lennox destroyed Grant critics did'nt want to give Lennox any credit for the win.

 

It's funny because I remember the talks before that fight very well as a kid through comments online and clips on the TV, many people actually gave Grant a good chance based on his power. As soon as he lost, it was the typical "We knew it, Grant is a bum...etc", some fighters just get no credit for anything they do.

 

Jesus Christ:rofl :rofl

 

Mike was my friend, We had come through some hard fights, Obed and Izon especially, then we had our eye on the big one (Lewis) We knew Golota would be a tough one , but my god i almost bit my nails off.... Golota had it in the bag, and he didn't have the iron will to maintain the win.. He turned his back on Victory... We were offering nice words to the Lord that night..

Mike got out of jail ...... I still couldn't tell you what happened ..

 

If Grant only had the proper management. What a waste...

 

he wasnt that bad he just had only a decent chin (which is managable) coupled with low left hand (perfect right hand territory) and no clinch work. he was pretty slow for a guy as athletic as he was.

i personally think he reacted pretty well in the first knockdown pretty well. that right hand would of dropped most heavy's (and it did)
if you that big trying to get up is gonna look like a joke.


amazing specimin tho. 86' reach 6'7 and 250 odd pounds perfect body in a purely statisitcal eye

 

Well they seem to have done the right thing putting him up against Golota at the time but his management probably thought he was going to beat Golota easy but received the shock of a lifetime,but they should have waited on putting him up against Lennox even though I don't think it matter anyway I think Lennox would always beat Grant whether he developed or not.

 

grant looked like an athlete trying to box. he seemed too stiff, not very fluid and lacking intelligence. his natural gifts far exceeded his boxing talent.

lol. lennox put him on ***** street. he looked like sam peter against mccline. those rabbit punches were brutal. lennox could get down and dirty with the best of them

rofl at mcgirt saying in between rounds, 'u all right, Mike?" dude was on another planet :rofl

 

I hate this ****ing "step back in time" ****. Its rather stupid.
