    Great great fight that ruined both men both physically and mentally. I miss fights like these!

    This fight was amazing. I remember having a bad feeling that Bowe would die in the ring. He was getting the shit kicked out of him.

    Bowe won because he had more heart and mental stability in the ring.

    Golota was such a choke artist, always finding a way to not win the big fights.

    Golota was quite simply, physically, the perfect heavyweight. Unfortunately, he lacked the pertinent, and vital, mental attributes.

    It's quite interesting that one guy's career never was because he didn't have enough heart and the other's ended because he had too much.

    I'll go one better: Bowe had too much heart in the ring, and not enough out of it.

    Golota, on the other hand, had plenty of heart outside it, and not enough inside it.

    Eventually, they both found each other out.

    great great fight. gotta give bowe credit he was getting thrashed and still stayed in there and tried to fight back. golota looked amazing - great jab, great combos... got off the floor himself to put Bowe back on the floor and beat him down.

    that 2n round, i think Golota landed 85 punches, it's one of the biggest arse whippings i have ever seen in a round without a KO

    Bowe had heart but also had too many doughnuts

    The Legendary Nights bowe/golota episode was brilliant.

    No, have to disagree here, it was a piece of Propaganda that refused to touch on the pertinent issues.

    I just rewatched the second fight the other day what an amazing war I can't believe stupid ring magazine gave fight of the year to Tyson holyfield. That wasn't even an action fight ...

    Could you elaborate what you mean by the first sentence? I'm quite sure you weren't meaning to convey he was the perfect Heavyweight fighter, minus his brain, which is how I initially interpreted it. Now, I'm not sure.

    This was the rematch, right? The second fight is, from an action-perspective, somehow one of the most under-rated or glossed over in history. It was outstanding, to the point it verged on defying belief.
