I had Golota a little a head in both. Bowe won, which is what counts the most.

Golota trashed Bowe twice, but he simply didn't know how to win -- even when he was well ahead you knew he had a good chance to blow it.

Golota is one of the worst boxers I've ever seen get a title shot. I guess he was better than Tom McNeeley, but about as smart.. I predicted Michael Grant would beat him. Grant hung in there long enough to discourage Golota.. Randy Newman asking Golota after he got up from a knockdown and walked away from the referee, "Do you want to fight??? Do you want to fight??? Do you want to fight??? Do you want to fight??? Do you want to fight???" spoke volumes -- because he didn't look like he wanted to fight... Finally he said "no" with a very low degree of enthusiasm. He started the fight scoring a spectacular knockdown and ended it like a wimp because he might get knocked out again.

BTW, Luis Collazo looked the best I've ever seen him tonight.
