Video: Andrew Golota - Career Recap

Rummys videos are very well done. You say that usually once you start one up you'll watch it in only a sitting or two.

 

Been in meetings all day in DC:|
Caught the first half and yes I DO SUBCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL:deal
Blaze up and keep comin up Rummy:hat:deal

 

Hmm I don't think he had great fundamentals. He looked very sloppy at times with a low ring IQ. Often he didn't understand what was going on in the fight. Was it the time to be offensive? Time to hold? Time to be defensive?

You may call it mental issues, to me it looks like he lacked fundamental boxing skill. Yes he was big, had a good jab and could KO opponents. Remember I didn't say zero skill, I said mediocre. The overall skillset had some glaring holes. In interviews he often came off as a very simple minded which probably explained much of his low-IQ in-ring performance.

 

Golota became a nicely skilled boxer under Duva. Underrated defence - he could slip , bob and weave and roll shots rarely seen for a man his size.
Could throw short compact shots on the inside too , which made him an all rounder.

He was far more talented than someone like Vitali Klitschko.

 

Not highly, dude. It wasn't the worst ever, but clearly very shaky. Getting knocked out by Michael Grant, who wasn't exactly a KO artist, is a pretty notable black mark here.

 

I think his heart/mentality was more of a detriment to his career than his chin tbh. Yeah his chin wasn't the greatest, but that's not what cost him to lose most of the big fights he was involved with. Oh yeah, he could have easily continued against Grant but chose not to.

 

great stuff rummy, watching it fully now before i go out.

may start speaking like the dogs all night.

 

True but it goes to show that talent means very little when one has issues with ones heart, discipline and cojones. Golota suffered from lifelong low self-esteem and it shows in his boxing career.
