Tyson Wins!

[SweepEm]

At the beginning of the third round, Golata quits, refuses to continue into the 3rd round. Just refuses.

Oh well

[SweepEm]

Golota apoligizes to the fans,
says that he was dizzy from the head butt and so he quit.
He quit because the referee didn't do anything about the head butt from Tyson.

[rockinronnie]

....and he also quit because he has no heart!

Sure, there was a butt from Tyson, but it wasn't such that he had to give up. If so, why didn't he just give up right after the butt, instead of waiting 'til the end of the round? That was so unlike Golota. I was hoping for a war at best - maybe a disqualification by some other means, but to just refuse to fight, and then walk out of the ring the way he did? He's finished as a boxer. He'll never get another chance at a top 10 fighter. He'll definetly NEVER get another big payday. What a cur!

Ronnie.

hmmmmmmm......

[SweepEm]

"That was so unlike Golota"

What do you mean?
It is not the first time Golota has quit. He did it after being knocked down by Michael Grant in the 10th round of a fight Golota was winning last Nov. 20.

the guy is a quitter.

But reports are that Golota suffers from anxiety attacks and might have had one in the ring.
Still, pay me 2.2 million dollars and I will go at least 3 rounds with Tyson. If I could run away for 3 rounds.

[StrongerThanDeath]

Golota just doesnt have the heart to make it in the boxing world.....

[Evilution]

It's strange because friday morning on the news I heard Golota saying how he has to win this fight or his career is over, he will get no more big paydays if he doesn't win. Then Last night on espn on the little banner at the bottom of the screen that shows game scores and stuff it says he quit after the third round (I didn't get to see the fight). Apparently he didn't care about it THAT much. BTW didn't Laila Ali fight that night also? How did she do? I've never gotten a chance to see her box yet.

Unaminous decision for Laila "My daddy is" Ali.

From fightnews,"worst exhibition of boxing skills seen on Pay Per View since Butterbean's last appearence."

SweepEm - my point being he went toe to toe with Bowe (or should I say "fist to ball"), aside from the fouls, there were some decent exchanges. At least in the Grant fight he went 10 rounds and showed more of a fighters heart than what he did last night. With Lewis, he was just totally out-gunned (that was never mentioned, I just threw that in). Before he quit last night, his exchanges were sloppy, and never "on the mark". Tyson, however was (for the most part) catching Golota with everything he threw. I noticed a "Tyson of old" emerging last night. Had the fight have went any further, I believe Tyson still would have taken Golota out before five rounds. Call it anxiety, call it gased, call it "taking a beating", call it being intimidated....whatever. Golota quit. After the fight, when Golota was being interviewed by Jim Gray in the dressing room, Golota looked and sounded like a "broken-down fighter". I felt bad for him at that point. He just doesn't have that killer instinct....and maybe he never has. Big and strong yes...but no killer instinct.

Ronnie.

Laila Ali looked absolutely terrible! Her opponent's record was something like 6 - 7. Her opponent threw "wild" hooks - and nothing else. All Laila had to do was come "straight down the pipe" to stop this girl. She wasn't as gased as her opponent, even to the end, but not a good showing. As a boxing match she didn't fight like an Ali. Even a lighter Christy Martin would beat Laila Ali, IMO.

well, thank YOU, mr. golota, for insuring that for god knows how long, we'll have to view that walnut-brained punter on the telly, spewing his ridiculous jive and pretending that he's a contender still when boxing and the civilized world have long since left him in the goddamn disposal.

the only thing more daft than the frozen-in-pre-homo-erectus-stage tyson is that flame-haired buffoon who seems to be perpetually looming over his left shoulder: don king. one hoped that a good pasting by golota would finally send the both of those sorry blokes swirling down the cesspool of their own fecal creation, towards a destiny of oblivion, which would be a f***ing favor for all of us.

but no: the threat-that-wasn't had to crap out in the third bloody round, for god's sake, claiming that he was a little light in the head, not to mention obviously light in the loafers--that f***ing poofter.

so now the talk will begin about tyson and our mate lennox lewis. personally i'd rather pay 100 pounds to see lewis stamp on a bag of flaming dog shite, but i guess tyson will suffice.

as far as those tyson and golota punters, though: neither of them are worth the price of the gunpowder it would take to blow them to hell.

[Zhoozhitsu]

It's no secret that Tyson's skills have deteriorated drastically ever since he left his original team of managers/trainers who hailed from Cus D'Amato's camp.

Last night, Tyson's boxing skills were awful. No combinations, no head movement, no nothing. Just looking for that one shot KO.

Tyson would be toast against Lewis.

[EJ]

It is a crime that they charge $50 for this kind of maggot-pocked buffalo shit.

[SweepEm]

Question is,

did YOU pay $49.95 to watch Golota "no mas"?

Today's newest headline:

CHICAGO -- Andrew Golota, who pulled out of a boxing match with Mike Tyson after two rounds Friday night, was under observation for a concussion at a Chicago hospital Saturday, a spokesman for the fight's promoter said.

Donald Tremblay of Main Events said he was told by Kathy Duva, the firm's chief executive officer, that Golota complained of nausea during the night and upon returning to Chicago had head pain and more nausea.

WGN Radio in Chicago reported Saturday, citing an unidentified source close to the situation, that Golota was disoriented and underwent a CAT scan on his brain at Resurrection Medical Center.

A nursing supervisor at Resurrection Medical Center, contacted by The Associated Press, said she did not have any information.

Golota left the match in Auburn Hills, Mich., telling referee Frank Garza, "I quit." He went to a hospital to have a cut over his left eye repaired before returning home.

Tyson trainer Tommy Brooks said Golota was not a "coward."

"He suffers from anxiety attacks," he said. "I think he suffered one at the beginning of the third round."


But Golota wanted to quit even earlier, after the first round when the 222-pound Tyson knocked down the 240-pound Golota with a right to the head. Golota got up quickly and took a mandatory eight-count. Then, the bell rang.

Al Certo, Golota's trainer, said when the fighter returned to his corner he said he wanted to quit. Golota went out for the second round and held his own.

Before the bell for the third round, Golota left his corner and referee Garza told him to go back to his corner. That's when Garza said Golota told him he was quitting.
