Honestly...fukkery aside i didnt like the first fight all that much. Bowe came in out of shape (again) and got battered for it without putting up much of a fight to me.

I distinctly remember watching it on PPV (the scrambler days) and worrying that Bowe was going to die in this fight. He took a scary amount of punishment.
Golota was such a headcase. In the big fights, you could count on him having a breakdown at some point, and being unable to finish the guy if he hurt him. I was surprised years later he fought Mike Mollo on the Roy Jones-Felix Trinidad undercard, and won the fight with a closed eye. All those other fights previously he would mentally implode.

Somehow bowe thought to himself kickboxing after this is a good ideaand the punishment got worse after that

Some LDBC cats were saying Manny already called Spence out and the deal is basically done but I can't find anything definitive supporting that
If true that might force Porter to activate the WBO mandatory and we can get two good matches there
bowe was fat and out of shape - got battered, man takes 50 pounds off in 8 weeks and looks how he did when he became champion - gets severely battered
foreman, lampley, and merchant all of them were saying it was the end for bowe...everyone saw it..then you hear bowe talk afterwards in the post fight interview
golota did redeem himself somewhat later in his career..in a rightful world he would and should have beaten ruiz and byrd for their belts
he tried to make a boxing comeback in the mid 00s - one of those fights he went life and death with a very lowly jobber - i remember this cuz i was in a bar for a thirsty thursday and that fight was on one of the tvs..he looked so bad

Unification > Mando .... Always
which was the whole point N why Errybody is
with the WBONow after the unification WBO can force a Mando N IBF can force theirs at the same time N that’s when belts get vacated
there’s no
for the WBO on this one... Usyk team must have influence in the WBO

I don’t see how anyone can say the winner of AJ v Fury is not undisputed because the WBO was stripped ...It’s time y’all come to the light
