    As you can think about this, this is more important for us than for Golota himself.

    Golota is not fighting Tua. Roger is training Tua at the moment. After Tua fight in Utah he will start training Golota.

    No, Bloodworth has been training Tua again, and frankly, Tua hasn't looked as good since Bloodworth was last training him.

    I am looking forward to seeing Golota back in the ring, and lets' hope he's gaining momentum with his next fight.

    Don't blame Bloodworth for Tua looking like crap. Thats Tua's own fault, and the greatest trainer in the world wouldn't make a difference.

    I hope AG doesn't fall into that same catagory.

    Tua was a great prospect in the mid to late 90s when Duva and Bloodworth were training him. Remember what he did to the squid Ruiz? Shortly after he started showing up to his fights in terrible shape, couldn't keep from feeding his fat face. He figured he's just eat whatever he wanted, lift weights, and his power and good chin would do the rest for him, he was dead wrong.

    The trainer can only do so much, but if the fighter can't dicipline himself, there's not much the trainer can do for him.

    I don't see this being a problem between Bloodworth and Golota. Even thru out his 30s, Golota has always taken conditioning serioiusly. I have high hopes for Golota teaming up with Bloodworth agian.

    When is Tua supposed to fight in Utah? Boxrec hasn't updated Tua's upcoming fight. How soon will Bloodworth start kicking the **** out of Golota in the gym?

    I think you misunderstood. I've seen most of Tua's recent bouts. To me, he's looked better with Bloodworth than he's ever looked since he LAST worked with Bloodworth several years back.

    Bloodworth has helped Tua show improvements; expect him to do the same with Golota!

    :good

    Hey Rums, I'm damn excited about Golota and Bloodworth gettin' back together. I hope everything goes thru. Now all Golota needs are his old white and red trunks and that aggressive prime Golota style and we're back in business!

    :happy :happy :happy

    Nah, I didn't catch Hopkins-Winky. I thought it was going to be on HBO around 9pm but instead all I saw was Bill Maher yappin'. I'll check out the replay though.

    Check this out.

    Another good video with highlights of the ups and downs of Golota. Bad choice in music if you ask me, but still a good video, especially for all those newer Golota fans just off the boat. My favorite is that awesome straight right hand that put Grant on his ASS.
