    :good

    Thanks for the translation and the link.


    I think this fight looks to be on the brink of being a done deal.

    Its also good to see some bad blood between Golota and Peter. That always makes things much more intense and interesting, when they are really wanting to hurt each other. :good

    Go, Golota!

    If he is gonna fight in June, I hope it is against someone who is gonna prepare him to face Peter.

    As much as I like him, Friday Ahunanya would be the perfect opponent or sparring partner for him. Also, Tua is fighting in Europe. He could really help Golota train for Peter's style.

    Actually, I think Golota could put a whopping on Valuev if he administers the type of body shots he was hitting Byrd with. Golota can still dig to the body pretty ****ing good, and I still believe Valuev has a suspect body.

    Damn right! All kidding aside, I know Golota takes some heat for his low blow history, but when he keeps them up he's still probably the best body puncher in the heavyweight division. Without the body attack Golota's not half the fighter he is. It's a major part of his overall offensive attack. I think he would need to employ it to have a shot, especially against Peter.

    Go Golota!

    And Valuev has an awful lot of body to work with.

    If Golota just throws straight rights to the chest and short hooks to the liver-area, I think he can wear the giant down, while busting up a few ribs in the process.

    Chagaev was having success with a sneaky left hand against Valuev, but he still never did the type of body work I think he is suspect to.

    Golota is a rare breed amongst today's heavyweights in that he commits to the body. Honestly, what other heavyweight today goes to the body as much as Golota? They're all pretty much are headhunters.

    Two results occur when you go to the body.
    1) Opponent's hands come down
    and
    2) It weakens them and they lose their power

    Yup. And Valuev's punches don't have tremendous pop as it is.

    I'm convinced that giant will be unable to absorb a prolonged body attack. If worse comes to worse, Golota should sneak in a strategic low blow or two for good measure. That'll surely slow him down!

    Indeed, Golota attacks the body unlike no other heavyweight, and he always has. Remember when he first knocked Bowe down in the rematch with that beautiful straight right hand, left hook combo? When Bowe got up on rollerskates, Golota's first punch was to Bowe's body. Then as he was hammering Bowe with all kinds of vicious shots against the ropes he hit Bowe with some awesome liver and kidney punches as well.

    Golota is a natural combination puncher, so it is only natural and instinctual for him to work the head and the body. Also, I think it is natural instinct for him to want to hurt all parts of the body. He'd punch his opponent in the adam's apple just to inflict pain. :!:

    True, but it might be easier to pull off against the giant.

    Remember when Golota headbutted Grant like a battering ram, and Big George started chuckling "Golota did that on purpose!"?

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    :lol:

    Yeah, but even better was the holding Grant in a headlock and then punching Grant's head with "behind the back" punches. :rofl :rofl

    Golota definitely got frustrated in the Grant fight which made him lose his focus.
