    It would be a good fight for a while, but Golata would eventually crumble due to Norton's pressure and body work.

    Golota has the physical tools to win but not the ability to use them. He will crumble at some point

    agREED. As often as I bang the drum for Norton not being a HOF-level fighter, he's certainly good enough to win this one and any other against 'best of the rest' level competition.

    Norton... to me, the only guys I ever pick to soundly beat him are bangers... give me a real serious hitter and I'll pick him to knock Kenny out any day of the week, even relatively limited bangers... but Golota, while not feather-fisted by any means, was not a real big hitter... I think it's a good even fight for a few rounds but Norton starts to cruise by the mid rounds and he stops Golota within 10... when Norton wasn't in awe of a guy's punch, he was an extremely difficult fighter for anybody... when a guy could seriously crack, he had a tendency to freeze up and just wait to get hit
