    Dude, I'd love to see AG smash that guys face. :bbb

    I was astonished leaving the garden a few years ago that Andrew didn't come away with the Title that night. I was like a zombie walking out of there. Some things, you just don't forget.

    Then were looking at either Ruiz or Meehan then?

    I am a big Golota fan, but I thought Ruiz did enough in the later rounds to win that fight.

    And given that Ruiz is now back near the top with his win over McCline, I highly doubt Ruiz will risk a Golota fight, as it'd be too high risk/low reward.

    That said, I hope Golota fights someone known who provides him with a good fight.

    Hi guys,

    I´m new in this forum and I want to say hello to everybody!

    I´m a Golota fan from the beginning and I was very happy that he returned to the ring last summer. His comeback was excellent so far. He is lacking speed but he is able to compensate this to a certain degree with his experience and very skillful punches
    I think there is a good chance for Ruiz being Golotas next opponent. I thought about this some time ago and I would love to see Ruiz being battered really hard by my good old friend.

    Cheers Raman

    I disagree strongly with you about the first Golota-Ruiz fight. That was a robbery on par with DLH-Trinidad. Golota dropped him twice and Ruiz lost another point for the low blow, thats a four point hole right there! Golota outlanded Ruiz and landed the harder shot. There is no way that Golota shouldn't have got that decision!

    Regardless, I don't think Ruiz would risk taking on Golota, again.

    I agree with everything you said except about Golota landing the harder shots. IMO Ruiz landed more solid shots than Golota, but certainly not enough to win with all the point deductions. Golota was taking some serious shots by Ruiz, especially in the last 3 or 4 rounds.

    Revenge against Ruiz would be wonderful. But Golota is gonna have to switch tactics this time around. Use the ****ing jab! He wasn't jabbing at all against Ruiz, he just let Ruiz hold and punch the entire night. Golota needs to knock that cockroach out this time around! I think he should go to Ruiz's body deluxe. WHen that cockroach starts his holding agian, throw inside combos to the body and head. The squid will end up crawling out the of the ring before the 10th.

    So I guess were looking at Meehan or McCline for the next opponent? Those are the only two other King fighters that I see ranked in any organization.

    I personally think that Vitali will make it through training camp and KO Peter. Then hopefully Golota can be the first optional defense.

    McCline's coming off two losses and Meehan was recently revived over his demolition of TOS so I hope it's Meehan he'll be fighting.

    How can anybody root for Golata??? He is a coward. He quit against tyson and the fans threw beer on him and he ripped off everybody that bought a ticket to the fight and all of the ppv buyers. He quit against tyson and his fans. I do not see how anybody could forgive him for that. Then he rises from a knockdown in the 10th against grant and then tells the ref he wants to quit, UNREAL!! That's the type of fighter you guys like:huh

    Golota was winning the 1st half of the fight hands down. Towards the end Ruiz did OK but many rounds were even. At best it should have been a draw Ruiz. Golota took it easy probably because he thought he had a comfortable lead.

    This I tend to agree with.
