    I think it should be Domngo:huh, he is so cautious about Golota health
    so we would be sure Golota will get out of there safely.

    It was SHANNON BRIGGS who offered Golota a fight at MSG.

    Theres a difference between altering opinions and downright hate and negativity. Ive had my doubts regarding Golota, if hed ever fight again, and I was extremely disappointed in his last performance and hardly anyone agreed with me.

    but no one got to the point of calling me a dumb Canadian, or Polack, or any derogatory term, racially motivated or otherwise. It takes fuel to feed the fire, and that is why cop had no recourse but to hurl racial slurs your way.

    Golota should take the fight with Briggs. There are better opponents out there but not many that would be interested in Andrew at the moment...as an opportunity presented to him by a recent WBO champion, it's worth it.

    Holyfield suddenly getting a title shot should give Golota and others hope to continue.

    Sounds like a good match up. Briggs luckily beat Lyakovich to become WBO Champ, loses his title to Ibrag & now wants to fight Golota.

    Andrew has to accept this fight! But only of course, IF he really wants it deep down inside.

    Unfortunately that's true. I would give Golota a better chance to beat Ibragimov than Briggs. Golota is difficult to outbox but very vulnerable in the first rounds.

    Bad choice IMO.

    But if Golota can survive those first 2 rounds & Briggs does put on an aggressive attack, he'll be so gassed by the 3rd that Golota could blow on him & he'll fall. Briggs can never put bunches of punches together & thats what it would take. He can't bang with the firepower that Brewster caught him with.

    Andrew has an excellent shot against Shannon, and this would really reestablish some credibility. Shannon hardly throws punches and can be out-pointed easily. All Golota has to do is jab Shannon to death for 3 rounds. Shannon has no conditioning after that. Golota stops him late or wins a UD.

    I agree with that Golota is better then Shannon and I think he could beat him. One thing bothers me though. Golota had only 1 not even 2 round fight against a very limited opponent, who ran out of steam by the end of the first round.

    What I am saying is that Golota is IMO still rusty. Shannon will try to take Golota out in the first 2 round as everyone mentioned, and I just hope Golota wont be as stiff as he was in his last fight, because if he comes out like that again against Briggs, he might have some problems. Briggs is no Bates. Not that Briggs is great or anything, I never thought much of him as a world class boxer, but he is definently a couple levels higher then Bates, and I dont think that he will come out and stand in front of Golota doing almost nothing like Bates did.

    Is Briggs a D King fighter? I think he is...

    Leave it to King to figure out what will make him the most $$$.
