David Tua vs. Andrew Golota

Tua is fat

 

Tua eventually knocks Golota out

 

Golota is bonkers.

 

Fat or not, bonkers or not....this is one MM in which I pick Golota by decision.

 

As the Terminator said to John Conner - 'it's in your nature to destroy yourself'.

 

Wow, REALLY? Golota wouldn't even make it as long as Maskaev did.

 

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Golota won. He was a hugely unreliable figure, but far, far ahead of the supremely-limited Tua in most areas.

No shocks whoever wins.

 

Golota was a headcase, but the fucking dude took Riddick Bowe's best punches for two fights. Tua is a short fat man with a left hook and MMs are supposed to be about fighters on their best nights. Golota of the Bowe fights beats Tua, no doubt.

 

I agree with this. In fact, it's entirely possible that Tua gets even more frustrated than Golota as the fight goes along.

Put it this way... had they fought each other next after appearing on that same B.A.D. card in - whenever in '96 it was - I'd have picked Golota by decision. Tua would've gunned for an early knockout, and fell apart soon thereafter.
