Golota - Peter ... most probable outcome ...

[Stinky gloves]

Which you think will really happen ... these options look all equaly un/real.

[lzolnier]

Golota must be quite confident if he agreed to make this fight happen. I hope the decission was trully his and not King's or Ziggy's. Talk about diving head first. If you consider it, that's exactly what he did with Bowe. Going from Pu'ha to Big Daddy was a large step upwards, and Golota made his name then and there.Golota can rise to the occasion(eg., BOWE, GRANT, BYRD, RUIZ)but he must be weary of the clubbing canons, telegraphed from Peter. Peter is a hungry, determined fighter that has made something out of nothing (classic overachiever) and Golota is in his twilight, finally trying to put those talents consistently to good use against a premier fighter (classic underachiever). If this fight happens, I predict a bloody bout ala Golota vs. Corey Sanders. Peter - Golota will be a hell of a clash, worthy of primetime and regardless of the outcome, will end up surprising many.

[lzolnier]

Golota will expose the one dimensional meathead in Peter/.



One must point out that Peter's ONE DIMENSION, is Golota's Achile's heel. He can only overcome it, if he fights a fundamentally smart bout, essentially outpointing Peter, keeping proper distance and not losing focus. Throughout all his fighting years, I have witnessed the latter part in ONLY one primetime Golota fight (versus Byrd).

[Blacc Jesus]

Hopefully option #2.

[lzolnier]

What are you talking about? Golota's good for boxing.


Ever since Bowe in 1995, Golota has fought with many top dogs in his weight class and has given a good account of himself in approximatly half of those fights. And yet a big win eludes him. In many of these fights, he has left lasting memories - surprise, disbelief, shame, embarassment. Quite frankly, with Golota you get it all, and that is why one cannot know what to expect from this fighter on any given night. That is why people are continously drawn towards him.

[RonnieHornschuh]

ok, who are these six guys that voted that golota would ko peter? you must live in your own polish universe where pope johannes paul II. is still alive.

[ozziebattler]

Im getting strange vibes about this possible bout..

I sense Galota getting that title that has eluded him for so long.

Call me crazy but im getting some weird vibe...

Why so many title shots???

Why so many controversial title fights?

Im going to jump on the galota express for this 1..Sam peter aint no saviour to heavyweight boxing so i couldnt care less if he loses this one...

Welcome to the express. Strap in! The next few days will be a whirlwind of a ride! If Golota does not freeze like a panic stricken deer in the headlights in round 1, the clubbing caveman's days are numbered.

[Haggis McJackass]

Is the fight on? If so, that is bullshit.

Golota is nearly 60 years old, and I have calculated that 72% of his professional fights have been title shots.

Why not David Tua? Tua is on the comeback trail, has fought twice recently, (admittedly against bums), is in training, and has only 3 defeats on his record, to Ibeabuchi, Byrd and Lewis. All top-caliber opponents. He should have got the decision against Ike, was shut out against LL, and lost a clear decision, but not a blowout, against Byrd.

He holds knockout victories over guys like Ruiz, Rahman, Moorer and Maskaev. He has defeated TWO recognized world champions in under a minute's worth of fighting, Moorer in 30 seconds and Ruiz in under 20 seconds. He holds late-round knockouts over another two guys who went on to win one or more of the main belts.

He has had exactly ONE shot at ANY of the main belts, and that was against Lennox, who was possibly the worst matchup in heavyweight history for him.

This is bullshit.

:hat

[Ambition_Def]

Both Byrd and Lewis made Tua look like a bum. No offense to him, but that is the truth.

Neither Golota nor Tua deserve this, but if we are tossing credibility aside, Golota is the much bigger earner. In MSG? Forget it. However if this were in Chi-town it'd be sold out.

I'd still prefer Virchis or McCall, but money talks as usual. At least it won't be boring.

[Haggis McJackass]

Both Byrd and Lewis made Tua look like a bum. No offense to him, but that is the truth.

First, I'm not offended. :lol:

Second, Brewster didn't make Golota look like a bum? Or faded Tyson, whose final victory over a name opponent was a 2nd round KO over Golota?

Third, Lewis is a top-5 ATG heavyweight who had spent the last few years dominating the division. He was almost a foot taller than Tua and put on one of the best fights of his career.

Fourth, Byrd makes a lot of guys look bad, and though I don't like to offer excuses, Tua's life and camp was in complete disarray leading up to the fight.

Fifth, Tua has many more victories over name opponents than Golota does, and Golota has had 10x as many opportunities to grab a title, and never managed it.

Sixth, it is VERY possible that Golota will get starched inside a round or two by Peter. Tua won't.

Seventh, Peter's flaws play RIGHT into Tua's strengths. Peter's power may be overrated. Tua's isn't. Samuel Peter won't be outboxing Tua like Lewis or Byrd did, he will be right there for Tua to hit. Peter-Tua is a guaranteed war. Peter-Golota may well be yet another humiliating implosion by Golota.

Peter-Tua is a better fight for the sport and for the fans than Peter-Golota.

:hat

[Ilesey]

I think Peter will knock Golota out, within the first six rounds.

[DamonD]

Golota outboxes Peter for 11 rounds, then accidentally falls off his ringstool when sitting down between rounds and injures himself. Peter wins TKO12.

That's Golota style :)

[pipe wrenched]

Where's the option for a Golota DQ or the option for if he says fuck it and quits liike against Tyson?. Nah, just kidding Golata vs Peter could be a hell of a fight.

[Rumsfeld]

golota is a fighter with a name, that's the only thing he still has going for him and peter knows that.

This might well be true, but he's still better than Maskaev.

:smoke

[Rumsfeld]

talent wise, most definetly he's better than oleg "molasses" maskaev, but we all know andrew will completely shit himself even before he steps into that ring. i can't even imagine golota signing the contract.

Golota has always wanted to take on the best.

Anyone who's foght Riddick Bowe 2x (considered "Top Dog" when they fought), Lennox Lewis (WBC champion), Michael Grant (consensus #1 contender when he fought him), Mike Tyson (former undisputed champion), Chris Byrd (IBF champion), John Ruiz (WBA champion), Lamon Brewster (WBO champion), and now Sam Peter (consensus #1 contender) isn't afraid to sign any contracts.

Sadly, I fear Golota doesn't have much of a chance in this one, but who knows? Maybe he'll surprise us. In a career defined by the unpredictable, anything can happen.

:smoke

[BIGTIMETIMMY]

I guess golota wants to put on the deer in headlights look again peter ko in less than a full 2 rounds

[lefthook31]

Two probable outcomes really.

1. Golota will be overwhelmed by Peter and quickly knocked out in the same manner as Brewster and Lewis did.

2. Peter will try and box with him and let Golota into the fight, with the eventual Golota meltdown later as he starts getting hit and hurt

Either way, Peter is too powerful for Golota, and I see Golota folding under his power sooner or later.

I concede, those are the two most probable outcomes.

[Irländsk]

Goes to the scorecards, Golota gets robbed. It can't end any other way.

[Loufatski]

If you look at Peter's record he beat a steroid blown middleweight twice, and lost to Wlad. Some say Golota is better than Maskaev, and I agree. Put 2 and 2 together and it's clear that Golota has good chances.

[Loufatski]

I think Peter will knock Golota out, within the first six rounds.

The only way to TKO Golota is inside the first round, when he's cold and vulnerable to getting iced.

Th important thing is maybe Peter isn't so hard puncher,
he couldn't finish Wlad and did not hurt fat and short Toney for 24 rounds?
The only thing People think he is hard puncher is his hard KO over Willimson.

[andyZOR]

Golota UD. Man i still cant believe this!

[brooklyn1550]

Peter by KO

[Ilesey]

That is not the only way to knock Golota out. Do you think it is beyond the realms of possibility that the big punching Peter does take Golota out in the mid rounds?????
