These fights (along with Arturo Gatti's from these times) turned me onto boxing when I was a teenager! Truely amazing fights. I think its time to rewatch em...its been too long!
Golota took the matter into his own hands and that was clear and he simply did not care. He looked at the ref to make sure he was looking and then bing bing bing, down goes Bowe. Fight over, problem solved. Bottom line, that fight should have been stopped long before Golota decided to stop it.
man thats Crazy. So are you saying Golota was so Merciful himself decided stop beating Bowe for sake of Bowe's healthy??:huh
those bowe-glota fights were epic man.....bowe-golota 1, outside of that wild ass brawl and the lowblows, was interesting in which golota was winning easy against an out of shape bowe..i remember thinking that was the only reason why bowe looked so bad..which brings us to bowe-golota 2 man that was a vicious ass fight..bowe loses like 50 pounds in 8 weeks..weight drained and looked an even bigger mess..nothing was left except heart..golota nearly ko's him in the 2nd..bowe couple rounds later drops golota for the first time in his career..golota comes back and drops him with a nice combination..then outside of the lowblows gives bowe a bad beating again..that fight should have been stopped earlier for bowe's sake...then of course hearing his brain addled post fight speech afterwards was really sad
bowe was not the same fighter after that third fight with holy...if it wasnt for the hepatitis that holyfield was suffering bowe would have been stopped no question when he was put down for the first time..that third fight was more vicious than you think..**** it made eddie futch walk away from bowe after that
the holyfield fights clearly took there toll on bowe.golota stayed right in front of bowe and he couldn't do anything with him. shot to pieces
Not just head movement. He was high-stepping, tripling the jab, turning on a dime, punching effectively moving backwards, 4-5 even 6 punch combinations. Golota from those fights could have fought any heavy from any era.
Sad Sad Sad I am Polish and as a PoleI feel ashamed by my countrymen behavior.I feel bad when i realise that Golota is well known just because of his crazy fights.I am not proud that Golota fought,that he was a boxer.He should be a truck driver So many times i was dissapointed after his fights Bowe, Lewis,Grant, Tyson Brewster, what a shame for all Poles.Especially Tyson and Grant fight.No honor, no pride.I will never forget
Does anyone else remember, during the riot, seeing George Foreman in a tuxedo dropping bombs on the guys rushing after Merchant and Lampley who were hiding behind him? Holy ****, that was a crazy fight!
