    If Andrew comes out stone cold and daydreaming again, he's going to be in deep trouble, because Mollo is another 1st round KO specialist.

    Well, that would say a lot for Golota if he wins it... especially at age 40.

    I wish Golota had more Knockout Power. Let's face it, no one ever talks about Golota's vaunted left hook like they talk about Mollo's or even Sam Peter's. He just doesn't have that devastating power shot. He's got what I call knockdown power. He's capable of getting you out of there with an accumulation of punches over a few rounds, but that's a dangerous way to live in the Heavyweight division. His best punch is obviously a quick straight right but he's never been a great finisher. He's a busy puncher who works the body well when he keeps them up. I wish he would have developed a better uppercut over the years to take some guys out. Oh, well, not really the time to go negative. You go to war with the troops you have. I would go absolutely nuts if he proves me wrong and takes this guy within two! I'm starting to get those nerves again.

    Against lower level opposition he may be.

    But certainly not when in against strong opposition.

    "...he's never been a great finisher. "


    But Mollo is a deadly finisher.

    Andrew and Mollo just had a common opponent, McBride. Andrew looked good, Mollo looked better.

    I like both these guys and I'd rather they weren't fighting each other, but like someone said, if Mollo loses he'll just come back, but if Andrew loses, especially if he loses badly, he's probably going to retire.

    He's got plenty KO power. He slapped Ruiz and down he went. The trouble is Golota KO's people when he doesn't mean to. The guy is plenty strong. Look at the photos.

    I think Golota throws a lot of arm punches. Doesn't commit alot to his punches. Earlier in his career under Bloodworth and Duva this wasn't the case, he loaded up on his punches more. He was an early TKO artist before the Bowe and Lewis fights (28-0 25 KOs). He lost a lot of his agresssion after the Bowe wars.

    Obviously he can still put the hurt on when he loads up like he did against Ruiz and McBride. That southpaw left hook he TKOed McBride with was quite nice.
