***The Official Golota Express! Bowe-Golota II - 19 years ago today***

Andrew has never come in overweight or looked out of shape.

 

Speed kills and the speed differential in this fight is going to be shocking.

Never one to be called quick fisted, Golota has looked even slower in a last few fights. His one chance in this matchup is to rough up Adamek and bend the rules. And unless the ref doesn't know about Golota's history I don't think that will work.

Adamek wins this handily. This is a world class fighter against a has been.

 

Good point but you can't count out Golota just yet.

 

I think its gonna get pretty crazy around here! The Express is rolling again & Adamek is on an all time confidence high. We are headed on a full steam collision course!!!

Sure as hell isn't gonna be ez to figure out who to root for.

:huhbbb:think

 

I like Adamek, but my heart is with Golota. I want Golota to retire a winner in a big fight, even if it's against a smaller opponent. Remember, Golota has NEVER officially won a BIG fight. Adamek still has plenty of time to do great things once he finds out HW aint his proper weight class.


GO GOLOTA!

 

Golota in his prime was pretty fast for a big man. That was one of the reasons he was so good back then. These days, he lumbers around like Frankenstein. But from what he showed against Mollo, he still has some skill left. Golota may be old but he has a ton of experience against the very best. Adamek has NO experience fighting such a big guy. Golota can still box, and has never been outboxed in his entire career. The only way to beat Golota is to ice him. Adamek wont have the power to knock Golota out. This means Golota will get his jab pumping, straight right hands landing and the inside combinations doing damage.

This is starting to look like a fairly even handed exciting fight. But Golota has the edge with his size, skills (though fading) and over all experience.

 

I think thats pretty much the way I'm gonna roll with it, too.

((((((((((((((GO GOLOTA)))))))))))))))

Plus, if AG does well, another Title shot down the road???

YOU BETCHA!!!:!:

I just hope a loss by Adamek doesn't **** up his chance to fight Bernard Nobkins. I'd really love to see Adamek bury his career!

((((((((((((((GO ADAMEK))))))))))))))

Confusing, isn't it.

 

I'd say Adamek & Golota are = when it comes to experience. Maybe even more so with Adamek. Don't forget about the total bloody wars with Briggs. Plus, being that Adamek has actually wons some Titles, he's way ahead of Golota in the "positive experience/confidence" department.

:deal

I did not say Adamek has no experience-he has plenty. I said he has no experience fighting a big heavyweight like Golota. You are so flustered by this bout it is affecting your ability to READ.

You are right about Adamek's will to win spirit over Golota's. But we know Golota has adopted a warrior spirit over the last several years and he now has a good head on his shoulders, except those first round jitters but that wont be a problem with Adamek.



GO GOLOTA!!!!


**** ADAMEK AND HIS BIG EARS!!!

































rofl


Just kidding about that. Adamek is great but we gotta pull for Golota on this one. It's his LAST DANCE!!

:happy

 

Ya see that! This damn fight is gonna have us Poles fighting amongst ourselves!



I didn't really mean who's older, or who has had more fights, whatever. Point I was trying to make was Adameks experience has been more positive & successful, which is a real confidence booster.

You can't tell me that you honestly believe Golota doesn't voices in his head telling him not to lose or don't do something stupid.

Thoughts like that would never cross Adameks mind.

 

And remember one thing...I don't think Golota has ever lost to a white boy!!!

:smoke

 

Golota should pull a Bernard Hopkins and remind Adamek of this at the next press conference.

:smoke

 

I don't wanna see Golota acting like a fool the way BP did...:yep

Even if Hopkins said that just to sell tickets, he shouldn't have gone there.

 

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]IBF cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek has made a bold move up to heavyweight to face the best Polish heavyweight ever, Andrew Golota, on Saturday, Oct. 24 in the new Lodz Arena in Lodz, Poland. Golota and Adamek appeared at a media-packed press conference on Tuesday at the Warsaw Marriott to announce what the Polish media have dubbed as, “The Polish Fight of the Century.” Interest for this fight is so great in Poland that three national television outlets carried the press conference live.
Interestingly, Adamek (38-1, 26 KOs), from Gilowice, is the one who asked for the match.
“If somebody asks to me to dance, I never say no, and this was Adamek’s idea not mine,” Golota said at the press conference, “so I said, why not? He has never fought anybody from the heavyweight division, and has no idea how hard we can hit. He will know in about two months.”
The Warsaw native added: “I hate breaks in training, my place is in Chicago, but I understand they [promoters] had to make this official because nobody could believe he wants this fight, including me. Adamek is faster than bullet and lightning combined—so they say—so I’m supposed to be very careful. But he is also easy to hit. This is the way I see this fight.”
Adamek did not appreciate the Warsaw-born Golota (41-7-1, 33 KOs) poking fun at him, and both fighters appeared to have a genuine dislike for one another.
“Andrew is Andrew, always laughing, making jokes, some of them about my skills,” Adamek said. “No problem. Nobody ever went down from words. Let’s see what will happen when we will be in the ring. Two words from me: speed kills. He will never be close enough to hit me.”
“Just happens this way that I will fight two 40-year-olds, first Golota and then, hopefully, Bernard Hopkins on January 30 in Newark. I will finish both of their careers.
Peter Garczarczyk, a Chicago-based sportswriter born in Poland that now writes for several Polish-based publications, is a longtime confidant to both Golota and Adamek. He also attended the press conference in Warsaw.
“Boxing fans in America may not know how big this fight is in Poland and how much these two fighters genuinely don’t like one another,” Garczarczyk said. “Golota thinks Adamek’s victories and world championships don’t measure up to the quality of opposition he has faced in his heavyweight career, and Adamek detests the fact that so many Polish people still revere Golota.
“I believe the only reason this fight is taking place is because Adamek wants to take Golota’s place in the hearts and minds of the Polish people. Adamek thinks he is merely using Golota as a stepping stone in his quest to be regarded as the best Polish fighter in history. He wants to settle this score now before moving on to even greater accomplishments.”
Don King promotes Golota and formerly promoted Adamek, having given the young Pole his first opportunity to fight for a world championship.
“Golota and Adamek are fighting for something bigger than a world championship or money; they’re fighting for country,” King said. “In Poland, this fight will compare to our Super Bowl or the World Cup in terms of demand and attention.
“I’ll be ringside in Poland for this one. Polish fans are what we call in the ghetto SKD, meaning they are something kind-of different. They are real fanatics, and this fight cuts right down cultural, spiritual and visceral lines that run right through the country. There’s never been anything quite like this in Poland.
“I love Poland and I love the Polish people. I have visited the Warsaw Rising Museum that pays tribute to the Polish resistance movement in World War II and Oswiecim Concentration Camps. I hope to meet Lech Walesa and President Lech Kaczynski during my visit to the great country of Poland.”
The fight will be staged in the 14,000-seat Lodz Arena, which opened in May, in the large city of Lodz located 85 miles from the nation’s capital of Warsaw. Ticket prices, on-sale date and purchase locations are planned to be announced next week.
Golota and Adamek co-promoter Ziggy Rozalski has completed a deal with Polish national television broadcaster Polsat to televise the fight live in Poland. The fight is being promoted by Ziggy Promotions, Don King Productions and Polsat.
