Golota vs Mcbride

! After Golota's meltdown against Tyson. I felt the one thing that could have helped him would've been a better trainer. When he had Duva and Bloodworth all they did was yell at him. Then when he brought Al Certo in prior to the Tyson fight, I knew right away that it was not a very good match because Certo is one of the worst trainers in the history of the sport. Then he make's another comeback and hire's Sam Colonna. Colonna is not a trainer, he is nothing but a spit bucket handler. Golota's career has been ravaged with idiotic decisions on his part. You need to get your facts straight, pal. You obviously know nothing about Colonna's career as a trainer and are only looking at Golota's fights. Golota has mental problems and when he gets into the ring he has panic attacks. He looks great in training. I know Colonna, and Golota begged him to train him again. Colonna was extremely reluctant because of Golota's idiotic moves in the past. Golota always had great trainers and blew it for himself. Lastly, look at his last name. COLONNA! Obviously Italian, and not Polish. Sam Colonna was born in Italy and has been a trainer for over 20 years. He knows his stuff and the reason he chose to train Golota again is because he has a good heart and will help a friend when he needs it. Golota obviously is well past his prime and has made a disgrace of himself and his trainers time and time again. Training is not his issue, however. His issue is on the inside. Get your stuff straight before you decide to talk about someone again.

Golota's career has been ravaged with idiotic decisions on his part. i agree except for the sam colonna part. under colonna's control, golota beat two nobodies by TKO, was robbed against byrd and ruiz, and was just blown away by brewster. under colonnna, the only guy he really lost to was brewster, and that was cuz brewster was just too aggressive and powerful for golota. his career was IMO at its best (if best is the right word to use) when sam colonna was his trainer.

He said it himself. The only reason he hired Colonna was because he felt comfortable with him. Colonna lived in Chicago and is also of polish decent. With Colonna he would not have to travel out of state for training. That is a ridiculous reason to hire a non qualified person to train you. In all three of Golota's championship bouts against Byrd, Ruiz and Brewster, Golota came to the ring cold without an ounce of sweat on his body. There was a real lack of preparation on Colonna's part. Brewster was smart enough to capitalize on Golota's lack of prep and attacked him right away. Byrd and Ruiz did not really attack because they both were more concerned with not getting hit and took a defensive stance in the ring. Byrd with his elusiveness and Ruiz with his huggy bear tactics.

Well, at least it means that we won't see Liakhovich vs. McBride.

Great Post. Never had the right trainer. He needed someone to keep him calm in the corner not yell at him like Duva and Certo does that as well.

If Golota had a normal brain with his skills he could be a legit threat to the champs of today. I wonder if he was scared of Brewster like Lewis or it was just a great shot. He had everything a fighter needs to succeed except the temperament. I still think he beats McBride. McBride is not anything exceptional.How he couldn't parlay his Tyson win into a title shot is a shock to me. Maybe if he beats Golota he gets one. He was robbed versus Ruiz IMO.

I heard Golata pulled out due to injuries

Just when you thought it could get no worse....

That should tell you how far this idiot Golota has fallen because of his stupidity. Lampley and Merchant saw Adamek-Briggs I last year even though it was untelevised. It was a great fight and I imagine they may have influenced which undercard HBO televises...

HBO is showing Valuev vs. Barrett and Adamek vs. Briggs II only That should tell you how far this idiot Golota has fallen because of his stupidity.

It is still showing as a legit fight. Don't really know if it is though. I do not think HBO is going to televise it though. US USA, Illinois, Chicago, United Centerview Nikolay Valuev V Monte Barrett Tomasz Adamek V Paul Briggs Nate Campbell V Matt Zegan Andrew Golota V Kevin McBride HBO is showing Valuev vs. Barrett and Adamek vs. Briggs II only

If Golota wasn't... odd, he might very well be the top heavyweight in the world right now. He has two wins against Ridduck Bowe that he didn't actually win because he couldn't not hit him low. He quit against Grant after a knockdown when he was winning fairly easily. He fought Byrd very well, and his loss to Ruiz was a bs decision. His three real losses were against Tyson (technically a NC though), Lewis, and his last fight versus Brewster. If he had a career of good breaks, he'd be 43-3. Given the division now, he would be competing for a title for sure at the least.
