Lamon Brewster (WBO) will be meeting Andrew Golota on May 21 at the United Center in Chicago. Brewster retained his belt with an uninspired, disputed split decision over Kali Meehan last September.

What do you think will be the outcome of this bout?

golota easily, i mean this guy had a close fight wich he should of have lost against kali meehan. you can make a case golota won his last two fights against, ruiz and byrd, it where close fights. anyway i pick golota. no doubt.

I saw that fight. i know Kali Meehan beat him but the judges didnt give it to Kali.

Golota by K.O.

Brewster looked retarded against Meehan, and that is saying alot. How would he deal with Golota's punching power, and roughhouse tactics? I do not think he would.

Brewster is a "B" class heavyweight, Golota is an "A" class heavy.

In enters atwa, one of the few Golota fans on boxingscene :)
Golota by early KO, and finally gets the belt he deserves
After being robbed twice, finally his time

Golota by 6th round ko. Then Golota goes on to meet either Wlad Klitschko or the winner of Vitali vs Rahman.

He also can have a rematch with Ruiz or Byrd.

Brewster vs. Meehan was obviously a sham fight.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Meehan Brewster's sparring partner?

Yah Meehan was the sparring partner of Brewster when he was preparing for the Klitschko fight. (Simulating the height)

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Meehan Brewster's sparring partner?

Yeah he was.

The only thing Golota has achieved in his career is his determination to blow any kinda big fight he has had. Everytime he has faced a fight that he`d gain any title or credit for winning the guy has blown it.
Konwing this, i think there is nothing in Golota`s make up to suggest he gets it right. Only for Brewster being as mentioned a poor heavyweight has Golota got a chance to win. But, like Muhammad Ali used to pull off big wins against the odds, i am conifident that Andrew Golota will try his level best not to win a title and he will blow this chance like every other chance he has ever had.
So....keeping in mind Brewster's disadvantages and journeyman status, i believe that Mr Golota will lose this fight, while Brewster will win only by the virture of his opponent!

What makes Golota have the attitude? I mean... I was watching the Tyson fight last week and why did he quit that one?

I dont think Golota is 1/3rd the fighter he was in his prime in the 90's but even a 1/3rd Andrew Golota will stop Brewster. He will wack him over and over with his good arm, his right. Golota does not have his jab any more do to a shoulder surgery. He is a one armed fighter. But he will only need one arm to beat Brewster. Props to Brewster though for gaining the title, but his time as champion has lasted already far to long. Golota will win, but I honestly dont know who I would pick Golota to beat at this stage in career. Golota would probably lose to Rahman and most other contenders.

I was also thinking about that. Do we honestly think golota still has what it takes to be a HW champ?

I was also thinking about that. Do we honestly think golota still has what it takes to be a HW champ?

No I dont think he has what it takes. He is damaged goods and past his prime. Even in his prime Andrew Golota prooved that he was not a championship caliber fighter, however he was one hell of a fine contender in a pretty deep heavyweight division.

Right now after May 21 I expect Golota to be WBO champion, I am looking at the top 10 heavyweights he does not have a great chance against any of them except maybe Byrd. He performed well against Byrd the first time, IMO much better than he performed against Ruiz. But we shall see, maybe he will get a proper shoulder surgery or something bring his jab back into the game, then he has a chance to beat anybody, but that is not a likely possibility.

One a side note I think Golota beat Byrd clearly by a margin of 3 or 4 rounds. That is even if you dont want to call the incidents when Byrd went to his knees clearly hurt by body shots knockdowns. Golota got screwed in that fight because if he won betting sites would have lost a lot of money. I had 170$ on Golota at 7-1 and so did alot of other people.

Against Ruiz I think Ruiz deserved the decision. Golota did not do anything in that fight and Ruiz landed far more clean effective power punches.

Golota did NOT beat Byrd

And he won´t beat Brewster. Brewster is a bigger puncher then either Byrd or RUiz and Golota folds against the punchers. And that was when he was a talented fighter in the mid-late 90s. I thought he looked pretty bad vs Ruiz . . .no jab, slow, he faded really bad late . . .Brewster will win this by sheer youth, power, and durability

. . .Brewster will win this by sheer youth, power, and durability

Losing a decision to Clifford Etienne is pathetic and unacceptable as far as being condidered a contender.

Dirty Clinch-fests. Golota is a tactical low blow assassin.

Golota by ud ore ko as long as brewster dont get another gift decisison ore somthing strange happens with golota`s stamina

Golota will knock Brewster out! I'll bet all my points on it when the fight comes.

Sure it makes sense that Golota would win. Ok course. But he has a much better trackrecord of dissapointing than of doing what makes sense.

bowe twice, Grant, Tyson, Bryd and Ruiz he should have beaten but dind't.

I am going with Brewster on this one.

Brewster had better literally have "Balls of Steel" because Golota's prime target is the Twig+Berries.

NO way man. Golota tends to do that against taller fighters like Bowe. He didn't do it against Ruiz or Bryd and he probably won't do it to Brewster.

What makes Golota have the attitude? I mean... I was watching the Tyson fight last week and why did he quit that one?
He quit it because he had a broken jaw and a broken hand

and Kimmy, if you had half a brain, you would know Golota got screwed out of Ruiz, and he didn't lose to Byrd it was a draw you moron

Bowe fights were both dirty, both guys were committing fouls. In the first Andrew was winning, but just couldn't stand that Bowe was not going down... ;) In the second, Golota was knocked down with punches to the back of the head, the ref didn't react. Andrew got pissed off, but still didn't need to hit low, he put Bowe down cleanly twice. But again, he wanted to KO him and couldn't, so he started to get nervous. Hitting low in that fight was a big mistake. He could have just stood there hitting Bowe's head til the end and get a wide decision win.
The Lewis fight was lost before it started (muscle relaxant injected just before, he was slow like a cow), besides, he would've lost it anyway, Lennox was just too good for him, I guess.
The one I would never understand was his quitting in the Grant fight. He would have got an easy decision, it was enough to just stand there after the kd and do nothing til the end... He said after the fight 'I thought I was losing on cards anyway' - wtf!!??
The Tyson fight... Well, he said he quit cause Tyson was fouling him and the ref didn't react, he was asking his corner to talk to referee, but they didn't do it. Plus he got the jaw broken end of first round and some problems with his hand, he felt Tyson would have killed him. ;) I don't think so, the second round was better than the first, but it was him in the ring, not me. Maybe he felt he just couldn't continue...
Talking about last 2 fights. Byrd draw was almost fair ;) but the 'loss' to Ruiz was unfair IMO. He didn't finish the job, true, but hey, Ruiz did nothing to win the fight, except for a couple of single punches that caught Golota, but did no harm at all.
Now Brewster - Andrew must win and will win this time. Albert Sosnowski beat Brewster up in a sparring, c'mon... If somehow Golota doesn't do the same in the title fight, he should give up boxing, no doubt...

I'm going with brew by ko.

I think both Bowe fights he got frustrated that he hit Bowe with everything and Bowe did not stay down so he low blowed his way to a DQ. The fight vs Lewis I felt he was going to knock Lewis out but the musle relaxer that the ******* Dr. wrongly injected him with ****ed him up way before the fight and you saw him on cloud nine while he was walking to the ring. This fight was lost before it even started. The Michael Grant fight was the most puzzling one of them all. He had Grant beat on all three judges score cards and his corner told him that he was losing the fight entering into the 10th round. He got knocked down and just quit like a mother****ing *****? All he needed to do was dance around for two more rounds and avoid being knocked down again and he wins at least a split decision. Against Tyson, I think he was totally out of shape, did not care and his fear of Tyson hitting him overcame him and he just left before thngs got worse.

I'm going with brew by ko.

Tuff call bro. :)

Golota should beat up Brewster, but credit to Lamon - the guy is short on talent but he has brass balls.The same cannot yet be said of Golota; hence, I would never bet on the foul pole.That said, I'll be cheering him on regardless....

golota should win and retire

golota should win and retire

Do u think that' will be the last of Golota?

yup i know he is done, cant jab anymore never really took care of his body early in his career, just win yr belt golota and go back to sking poland loves u

I think after the Brewster win he will definitly get a shot at Vitali. He takes the big money, lets Vitali beat him up and claim that he is unifying the division and then goes home.

, just win yr belt golota and go back to sking poland loves u

He has serious turmoil in Poland.
That is the reason he "Fled" to the U.S.A.

He supposedly is wanted by the federal government, and the only "Skiing" he would do, is barefoot in the shower. Ski's fashioned out of multiples of soap bars.

Commercary::::CHECKPOINT
prison yard:::CHECKPOINT 2
Cell:::FINISH LINE

this is an interesting fight only because golota is a habitual loser, a choke artist and brewster just flat out SUCKS..... so the question isn't who's better, but who's less of a LOSER... i'm gonna favor golota cause i think King would prefer golota have the belt, he can make more money off of him...

I agree with every detail of this post, best yet on this thread....

You're right about this fight being about who is the lesser of the 2 and not about who's better...I hope a SCUD missile hits the arena in Chicago that night so both guys will go away for good (let's make sure John Ruiz has a ringside seat also)

golota i think will beat down the klitchkos.

Wladimir probably but Vitaly I doubt it.
:rolleyes:

Golota takes care of his physique more than most boxers out there. He was in great shape against both Byrd and Ruiz. I have heard a few people mention about his jab not working anymore. Does anyone know anything about this? Did he injure his left arm at some point?

In car accident a few years ago.

How about rydell bookers physique huh?

The 'roids have worn off, so his reflexes have gone to garbage....

I loved seeing Riddick Bowe's quote the other day about Golota's roid-pimples disappearing over the past couple of years, Big Daddy has always had a way with words....

You could say that Golota's mental problems are gone with the 'roids but Riddick's fat stomake getting bigger and bigger.

Brewster has got to be one of the worst hw "champ"s ever. Golota should be entertaining in some way. Golota by 5th round K.O.

You could say that Golota's mental problems are gone with the 'roids but Riddick's fat stomake getting bigger and bigger.
No doubt, Big Daddy loves the kitchen as much as he loves the KO, and he'd be the 1st to admit it....

It's just sad that a truly great talent got demolished by a guy who was blatantly breaking the rules, not only with his in-the-ring tactics but his drug abuse outside of the ring....

then again if Big Daddy had weighed 240 for his 1st fight w/ Golota & had KO'd the foul pole in less than 2 rounds like he should have, we wouldn't be having this conversation

This should't be a problem for Golota, he's just the bigger and stronger. He realises that this is his final chance to do something useful in boxing. And when he captures the WBO title, his next opponent will be Wladimir Klitschko and that would be a very interesting bout to watch.

On paper you're right, he is too big & strong for Brewster....

but so was Vladimir Klitschko.....

Yeah those roid pimples really stood out in his fights. They were blaring out at you in the Lewis fight, but obviously his roid use did not do him any good.

The roid rage definitely hurt Golota vs. Lewis and Tyson, but that rage lead to his elite status following the 2 Bowe fights, so it was a bigger plus than a minus in the long run....Golota shoulda been on Capitol Hill yesterday w/ Canseco :)

He is not currently on Roids and his physique has looked solid the last two fights he has been in.

Golota... what is he gonna do, beat Brewster with his walker... no one should be boxing when they're past 35, except for Bernard Hopkins.

I wonder if this is a PPV or a regular broadcast.

Box Rec lists 3 undercards to go with it, all with big boxing names, much more name recognition than King's Spinks-Judah card...

Light Heavyweight Paul Briggs V Tomasz Adamek
Vacant WBC Light Heavyweight Title

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 1 PM CT - I think I'm going to buy a pair - anyone else thinking of going?

So where is the bout taking place? is it finalized already?

If you continue to work-out, then muscle-mass won't decrease by avoiding the roids, but the pimples are gone so he's obviously put the needle down...

If the fight is at the United Center maybe I will buy a ticket, a cheap one. Sit in the way back where you cant see anything and get drunk, watch the fight on the jumbotron, but I wont pay anything over like 50$, and beer better not be 4$ a cup.

uhhhhh beer at $4 a pop? that's 1/2 the price of what a beer costs at Arco Arena for Kings games and on fight night.....be happy with a $4 charge bro, you got it gooooood!

The United Center
Chicago, IL

uhhhhh beer at $4 a pop? that's 1/2 the price of what a beer costs at Arco Arena for Kings games and on fight night.....be happy with a $4 charge bro, you got it gooooood!

Beer was 7 bucks for a 16 oz. and 10 bucks for a 32 oz. at Spinks/Judah, another King event. I don't know if the promoter, the arena, or the catering company sets the price, but I'm guessing 4 bucks won't even get you a hot dog...

I'm going to order floor seats, but not ringside. I'm like the guy that won't buy a new car, but I'll get one with like 8,000 miles on it and call it new but getting a discounted price...

Golota... what is he gonna do, beat Brewster with his walker... no one should be boxing when they're past 35, except for Bernard Hopkins.

Unless your a better boxer than the those that are under 35. There has been a shift in recent decades towards the over 30 fighter.

If Golata almost beat Ruiz and Byrd(actually he probably should have)then he should have no problem with Brewster.

i pick golota, providing he does not bite or hit brewster consistently in the nuts.lol (golota's a mad dog !)

I think both Bowe fights he got frustrated that he hit Bowe with everything and Bowe did not stay down so he low blowed his way to a DQ. The fight vs Lewis I felt he was going to knock Lewis out but the musle relaxer that the ******* Dr. wrongly injected him with ****ed him up way before the fight and you saw him on cloud nine while he was walking to the ring.

All he needed to do was dance around for two more rounds and avoid being knocked down again and he wins at least a split decision. Against Tyson, I think he was totally out of shape, did not care and his fear of Tyson hitting him overcame him and he just left before thngs got worse.
The fight with Michael Grant heading into the 10th round, Golota was winning the fight 86-81, 87-80, 85-83 on the three judges scorecards. Which means that if Golota did not quit and got out of the 10th round the scorecards heading into the 11th round would have read 94-91, 95-90, 93-93. All he needed to do was box cautiously the next two rounds without getting knocked down again and even if he lost the 11th and the 12th the fight would have ended up 112-111 for Golota, 113-110 for Golota and 111-113 for Grant which would have given Golota a split decision. That to me was the most shocking outcome of his quitting against Grant.

1. Golota has no problems with law in Poland. The old case is finished. Now he still has some minor charges for punching some drunk ******* in front of a hotel, but that's nothing serious. He comes to Poland and leaves whenever he wants.
2. Talking about his training and shape, everyone who had ever watched Golota before knows that vs Byrd and Ruiz he was very well prepared. And he 'won' those fights. He injured his left arm in the 6th round vs Byrd. Rounds 7-12 he fought practically one handed, that's why Byrd managed til the end.
3. Someone said Bowe should have been 240lbs and knocked out Golota within 2 rounds... LOL, that made me laugh... How about the rematch, when 'slim' Bowe got the worst beatdown in his life?
4. You want Golota and Brewster out of HW division (to the one talking **** about missile hitting the place)? And who's gonna be fighting for the title? Meehan vs Donald? Yeah, that would be awesome...

Andrew should beat Brewster and then fight Klitschko/Rahman. If not, rematch vs Ruiz or Byrd, finally beat the **** out of any of those 2. Then he can retire.

Fighting either klitschko or Rahman will probably be the defining fights of his carreer. If he managed to pull those fights.... Then we have a heavyweight division. It's along shot but it can happen.

If Golota wins the WBO belt and Klitschko retains the WBC belt over Rahman, then the long awaited matchup between these two NEEDS to happen. That fight will generate plenty of publicity and I think it would do very well on PPV. I still think Golota will give Klitschko a ****load of problems in the ring.

golota easily, i mean this guy had a close fight wich he should of have lost against kali meehan. you can make a case golota won his last two fights against, ruiz and byrd, it where close fights. anyway i pick golota. no doubt.
Typically, Golota's problem have been mentally. He's gets intimidated kinda easily. Brewster, on the other hand, will stand up to any amount of punishment and try to win. The problem is he doesn't let his hands go. Golota's not gonna be intimidated by a guy who had so much trouble with Kali Meehan, and is gonna stay on him, outwork him in every round and take a decision.

brewsyer had to have wlad drugged to just braley beat him he was almost KO'd by a guy who couldnt hold himself up... should be easy fight for golota
