Patscorpio Reminded Me of this... Bowe/Golota I had the Riot, but II had the WAR

[HARLEM AL]

Suggestion @patscorpio why don't we pick a fight a week. Break it down on what we thought of it. Rds etc..... Each week we pick a new fight to talk about.

[WhodatWhoadi]

Ed is right those combos to the nuts were fukkin brutal....Golota one dirty ass motherfukka

Dude is the King of Dirty shyt, Dude biting motherfukkers before Tyson

teeth sunk in like a fukking vampire....

Dude was of the top boxing bad guys as well, always tuned in when he was fighting, hoping his ass would get whooped or to wait for some fukkery to happen..

He sort of paid for it too, not only by being KO'd several times but, I thought he beat Byrd and Ruiz only to lose both decisions. I was disappointed in the decisions but I couldn't get upset because, it's THIS guy.

great call on the suggestion...

One thing I noticed, Larry Merchant was slurping the shyt out Golota...he gave him two 2 pt rounds AFTER points were deducted for the headbutt in 2nd and low blow in the 5th (pretty sure it was those rounds), and then he tried to say the triple low combo at the end wasn't intentional...

I know cacs will cac but god damn, he is polish too?!

In case anyone else was wondering, I never heard Tyson or Bowe ever mention each other and thought that was odd since they are both Brooklyn heavyweights from the same era pretty much. Just got done reading Undisputed Truth too and no Bowe mentions there but they were actually friends and went to school together.

Tyson vs Bowe would have been

Bowe said growing up that when he saw Tyson and his clique, he and his friends would cross over to the other side of the street

Bowe was always wishy washy about Tyson. One day he'd praise him, the next day he'd shyt on him. He'd say that he would never fight Tyson because they're both from the same hood and agreed not to fight each other. That was a lie though, because Golota was supposed to be a tune up for a fight with Tyson

Yeah apparently Golota wad a tune up for either Mike or Lennox. Jim Lampley even said that's all Bowe would talk about during the pre fight meeting. He even call Golota a bum before their first fight.

I still remember to the day reading USA Today saying he was the best HW since Ali. No b-ullshyt.

At the time period, Riddikk Bowe was the most talented HW to enter boxing since Ali retired in 81....at least that argument can be made

From 92-96, he was the best HW on the planet

I'd give the Bowe that fought Holyfield a chance against any HW in the history of boxing. He's a legit Top 10-15 HW just in terms of pure talent

He'd easily dominate today's division. Then again, many past Heavyweights would

Classic wars. Makes you realize how far the division has dropped in terms of quality.

yeah boxing skill wise there was nothing wrong with Bowe that wasn't fixed by the time he fought holyfield..he was just undisciplined.....that and only that ended his career prematurely
