One of the few times Golota was knocked down with one punch, probably only time from pure power. Not only that, but it made him quit fearing for his life. And he was correct to do so as: "it was later revealed he had a broken bone in his head, which could have pierced his brain, should the fight have continued."

Tyson on Golota the hardest punch ever?

I don't believe Golota was in any danger of a bone piercing his brain, but he absolutely made the correct call in not continuing.

After the jab Golata moves at a circle to avoid anything after the jab, Golata then throws out his own pawing jab thinking (no doubt) that he will reset, Tyson steps at a perfect angle so that while Golata thinks the punch is wide, it hits target perfectly. Tyson knew exactly what distance he wanted to be at.Last edited by billeau2; 01-23-2015, 09:31 AM.

Amazing. But is it any harder than the punch that KO'd the White Buffalo? Ol' Mike did it on multiple occasions, didn't he? That appears to be a right hook. If there is a technical difference between a right hook and a roundhouse right, someone please explain.

His corner was a disgrace, remember how his trainer didn't want him to stop the fight and his behavior, he wasn't there to protect his fighter. Golota said 'stop the fight' already after the first round.
That textbook KO caught Golota in a spot where it spins the head like a top, creating instant whiplash while the brain gets smashed against the interior of the skull. because the blow is right at the tip the whipping effect is devastating as opposed to recieving the blow on the cheekbone where the whole body and head can move to offset some of the blows effects. Anyone who thought Golota could get up from that and keep fighting, like his horrendous corner, should have their head checked.
