    No, at this point, I just want to hang and party in the comfort of my own home, as watch another of my favorite fighters make, what I believe, will be his last ever appearance in the ring.

    What are you saying...that McBride will be his last fight, win or lose? If he wins, why wouldn't he want to forge ahead to a possible title fight?

    I sure hope this isn't it for him.:roll:

    I honestly can't see him winning. I hope I'm wrong, and that somehow or another, he manages to pull it off, but things don't look good.

    It was "slodka", not "polska".

    Have faith. MAB is a smart fighter. He's probably been thinking of ways to counter what Manny did to him since the day that fight ended.
    Pacman is a wild fighter & the more controlled MAB just might be able to school him this time. At least I hope so. I'm sick of all this Pacman domination BS. Time for someone to humble his butt.

    Don't count Barrera completely out just yet Rums. He's a warrior and will come to fight like a true champion even though he will be outgunned by Manny Pac. He's gotta a chance but I wouldn't bet against Pacman in this one.


    BTW how many freakin' times have Barrera, Pacquiao and Morales all fought each other including rematches, rubber matches etc??

    Seems like every time I learn of a big match about to happen it always involves two of these 3 guys fighting each other. They should just put all three in a cage like pit bulls until only one is left standing. This will settle the score once and for all. Although I suspect the two Mexicans will double team the filipino before taking out each other. :hat

    Most of you have probably already seen this on the main page but just in case some of you did not I thought I'd give the G-Force Express something to snack on.

    Typical Golota interview....short, vague, and probably a whole lot of "ya know?"s.

    Talkin' Boxing with Andrew Golota

    This content is protected
    03.10.07 - By Malcolm Markowski: One of the world's most popular heavyweights Andrew Golota arrived in New York late Monday night. He participated in the media workout at the Madison Square Garden mall at 11 a.m. before heading off for a media press conference at Kredens Polish restaurant in the Ridgewood section of Queens (66-36 Fresh Pond Road) at 1:30, the food of which Andrew called "the best Polish food I've ever had." Golota was swarmed as usual by the Polish media and many of the workers and onlookers who all got photos taken with the former Olympic bronze medalist.

    Here is the quick interview we did with four-time heavyweight title challenger Andrew Golota who will take on Kevin McBride on Saturday night:

    Q: Are disappointed you didn't get a shot at Peter for the WBC Interim title? Or were you concentrating all along on McBride?

    Golota: I was getting ready for Kevin McBride. And then the thing was they gave me an idea of Samuel Peter because the guy (Maskaev) pull out. So I said, Why not? Same strength, heavyweight strength, same strength but different size but same strength. So don't get me wrong, they're not comparable [laughs] but they are same strength, you know. So I was getting ready for a fight anyway. Why not fight for the championship? So maybe it's too early for this year. I had only one win this year. So maybe not a tough fight would be great.

    Q: So you are looking at McBride as a stepping-stone?

    Golota: It's like a two-point - stepping forward or say goodbye. If you pass this, you okay. If you don't then forget about it. Like a checking point, you know?

    Q: Does McBride worry you at all?

    Golota: Strong, strong guy. Kind of awkward and strong. Very strong. Punch-wise - maybe the same as Peter. But Peter's much, much better.

    Q: Have you see much of McBride before?

    Golota: I've seen three fights. One back in Ireland, then the Tyson one, then this one.

    Q: What's going to be the key to winning this fight?

    Golota: Win. That's what it is. I have to be aware defensively, aware of his punches.​
