Let's see. If I were Golota, I would first of all try to loosen up. Use your legs...move Wlad around the ring and keep him in motion. Wlad is a big guy with good footwork but he definitely has his own timing on how he likes to operate...keep him in motion around the entire ring, engaging on YOUR pace. As far as an offensive, Golota would have to get his left hook in order...that thing is UGLY! He's thrown it like complete **** lately. He will need to jab with Wlad and try to get off first...take a step back when Wlad jabs and then hit him with your own. Past that, he should keep his ****ing hands up and try to use at least some head movement.
I think Golota should come out very aggressively, get in close range and then start to rip some hard uppercuts to Wlads nuts!
a quick combination of a headbut, bite on the shoulder, and a punch to the nads. (all things he has done) seriously tho, if thompson can have some success and make it close for a few rounds, golota should be able to do the same unless wlad abandons his recent safety first style and jumps all over golota.
I would emphasize his money punch , "The Nut Shot", its either that or adopt a style that I have developed for fighters who are at a severe disadvantage, its called "The fetal position", it takes the turtle shell defense one step further.
His only way to beat Wlad is through pressure, he should also fight dirty. He needs to make it a fight, not boxing match. Wlad has trouble when the going getting gets tough, so Golota must be willing to take a few punches to give a few. I would love to see this fight, and while Golota may not be worthy of a title shot, neither was guys like Austin and Thompson, who fought weak competition to get that shot.
Id have him pay for a lwayer to get Ike out of jail and train him to fight Wlad for him.............LOL just Kidding.......He should go for broke early and hope to catch him cold,,cut him,or just make him respect him, because Wlad is going to box his ears off if he stays on the outside:rasta
