It's not even a fight I bothered to watch because of it but I did end up catching the KO clip after all this started up. I remember Golota when he fought Bowe and after seeing him get blasted out of there against Brewster, I didn't want to watch him again. I don't like seeing Old/Shot fighters continue to get beaten. Maybe you do, but not me. Different standards.
I wasn't at all enthusiastic about the fight either. I was disappointed that Adamek-Johnson or Adamek-Cunningham II didn't happen, those were the fights I wanted to see. I didn't like the idea of Adamek moving up to heavyweight, since he was doing so well at cruiserweight and I think he's simply too small for heavyweight. But I felt somewhat relieved after he looked very good at the weight today.

But instead of going down to your level and retaliating, I dealt with it by using a little humor.

I actually wasn't at all enthusiastic about the fight either. I was disappointed that Adamek-Johnson or Adamek-Cunningham II didn't happen, those were the fights I wanted to see. I didn't like the idea of Adamek moving up to heavyweight, since he was doing so well at cruiserweight and I think he's simply too small for heavyweight. But I was somewhat relieved after he looked very good at 214 today.
I watched Brewster vs. Golota...a fight in which I was rooting for Golota because I wanted him to finally win a title. I still can't believe he blew it against Bowe.
Didn't watch after that. Never talked about Austin-Golota. You must have my post confused with someone elses.
Adamek-Cunningham II is the fight that should be. If Haye beats Valuev which I'm not so sure about, Haye vs. Adamek would be a good fight.
Now the weight for Adamek is what people can talk about. If he showed he still had his speed and power and could move without losing stamina, that is something to talk about. I agree with that. But personally, I still couldn't bare to watch that fight because of who Adamek was facing.
No, the comment was actually more like a low blow - a hateful, uncalled-for insult against someone you know little or nothing about. I don't resort to using such insults myself, it seems rather low to do so.

Still, I think Adamek did a lot better against a good HW than Roy Jones against a good HW (Ruiz). Cong**** to him.
Adamek made a statement about his power, and I've come to the conclusion that he simply doesn't have HW power. He does appear fast for a heavyweight but then again Golota is very, very slow these days.
I seriously believed Adamek would end the fight in one round and he almost did but Golota seemed to be taking his punches fairly well for a while until the sheer accumulation got to him.
