Andrew Golota vs Jameel McCline

What if there is a title on the line? What happens here, a draw?

 

Split the bet between McCline by knockout in the first three, and Golota by decision.

 

A good possibility, but then again Golota never got the decision against Ruiz or Byrd.

 

... and he didn't deserve it. Both Byrd and Ruiz stepped on the gas pedal as the fight went on, something that McCline is utterly incapable of doing.

 

I'll take your word for it. I only saw a few rounds of both fights. I can't stand to watch either Byrd or Ruiz. All i remember is a lot of people thinking Golota won either 1 or both of the fights.

As much as people wanted to see both Ruiz and Byrd lose, there wasn't much of an "uproar" either.

Golota is the absolute best at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

 

If you didn't watch the fights, why bring them up?

 

don't take his word for it. he's a fucking idiot if he think byrd deserved a decision! ruiz was close could have went either way but golota clearly outboxed byrd. even byrd's wife said so

 

oh ya and prime golota stops mccline in 5

right now it's a toss up

 

McCline jumps on Golota early and Golota quits after 2.

 

Funny I was thinking McCline quits, fights competatively a few rounds and quits fighting the second half and loses a decision.

 

With 2 guys who are as fragile emotionally as these guys are , You never know.

 

prime golata gets DQed in the 6th. if they fought today, mcCline wins by TKO

 

I didn't say that Byrd deserved a decision. I had it a draw; I covered that card for Inside Fighting. Golota simply didn't do enough in the later rounds, when it looked like Byrd was starting to get the better of him in the exchanges.

But to be fair, we should compare scorecards. Please post yours, and then I'll post mine.

 

prime Golota doesn't get dq'ed against mccline are you joking ? Golota smokes him!

 

Golota in his prime was a knobhead. Golota'd probably find a way to lose. He always did.

 

I rarely agree with Kaliber about Golota, but in this case I do. The 96-97 Golota beats the shit outta McCline.

Right now if they fought, McCline stops him.

 

there you go finally giving Golota credit :bears:

96 Golota was vicious

 

i had it 115-113 for Golota so i could understand a draw but no way can see Byrd winning

how did you score Golota-Ruiz?

i had it 114-111 for Golota :dunno: what a robbery, of course with Ruiz's holding he gets no credit either way


1 - Ruiz (10-9)
2 - Golota (10-7)
3 - Golota (10-9)
4 - Golota (10-8)
5 - Golota (10-9)

9 - Ruiz (10-9)
10 - Ruiz (10-9)

rounds 7 and 11 could have gone the other way

I also had Golota winning both. I thught Golota-Byrd was the closer one, I can't see Ruiz as the winner

 

I had Golota ahead on points against both Byrd (115-113) and Ruiz (113-112), but wasn't terribly upset about either outcome. I didn't see a case where Byrd deserved to win, but the best case scenario for him was a draw, and that's what it turned out to be.

For Ruiz, it could've went either way. I was more surprised that it was a unanimous decision (and by such wide margins) than the fact that Johnny won.

Anyway, more germane to the topic:
Primes: Golota by TKO, basically whenever he wants. McCline was always a panic attack waiting to happen, it just took for Wlad to finally convince people. He was hardly agressive against Whitaker or Briggs, neither of whom showed any interest in fighting back.

Now: who knows. It's a knockout early either way, or McCline via decision in a fight that's completely unwatchable from 7-12. McCline has the better chin, so I guess McCline by decision is my pick.
