Golata vs. Brewster

[!!Captain]

totally up to DK. It's his call who gets this belt, as Golota is in his boxer stable too right? I think he might give it to Golota to try and mimic the Klit's success, coming out of an Eastern Europe / ex-USSR country. Maybe having Golota in there will generate more fame for that title and for DK's pawn game.

Could not agree more. The outcome of this fight doesn't depend on skills, punching power, or any other characteristics of Golota or Brewster. It depends on King's mood that day

DK has to know that Golota is gonna be more of a bread winner for him than Brewster could ever hope to be.

My question is to the Great1. You actually think that the Brewster vs Meehan fight was fixed, however you believe that the Wladimir vs Brewster fight was legit? Come on now that's a double standard.

how is that? Wlad isn't promoted by King. I think Wlad just punched himself out and coundn't go on, it's not the 1st time that has happen, did you see foreman/ali. sometimes the better fighter can't win.

[Pno]

if someone REALLY wants to fix a fight, they either have to have full control of both fighters (who must be willing to take the bribe and go through with the fixing) OR the fixer could have the cooperation of one and not the other. in that instance, they'd have to force the uncooperative one somehow to ensure their fixing plan is still fulfilled.

or at least that's the way it is in the movies LOL

It looks as though this fight has been moved up to March 12th 2005 as opposed to the 19th because Tito vs Winky fell through.

So Golata has a mediocre career, drifts into obscurity, and now he's getting three 'title' shots in a row (after losing the first two no less)? I know the HW division is somewhat lacking right now, but this isn't right.

Simple explanation for that is King can make the most money with Golota. He generate's alot more interest from fans than any of his other scrubs can.

Yeah, I agree with you. My statement was pretty much laced with sarcasm. I'm also assuming you're using a pretty broad definition of 'fans' there. That is to say: I consider myself a 'fan', and King is generating zero interest here. But again, I know it's all just a moot point; still, it's no less frustrating.

I happen to think that Golota beat both Byrd and Ruiz but was robbed in the decision. Although there is a case that Ruiz could have pulled it out at the end and a Ruiz win doesn't bother me that much because he completely neutralized Golota down the stretch. Still, if Golota can't put it together against Brewster he should retire. With that said:

Golota by TKO in the 10th

I still would rather see Golota fight Vitali. That would be an entertaining fight. Supposedly after Golota fought Byrd to a "draw" Byrd refused to give him a rematch and then Golota on his own called Vitali personally and asked him if he was willing to give him a shot at the WBC belt and Vitali said to him "I am not ready for you yet". Whatever the hell that meant.
