Tommy Morrison vs Andrew Golota

Post by robbydecker »

12 rounds(Neutral Location)

Based on the styles aspects, I'd slightly favor Golota in this bout.

I don't think that Golota would be petrified by Morrison like he was versus Lewis.

Golota was actually hanging in there rather decently versus Mike Tyson until he got caught.

Somehow, even though I can see Golota getting caught and decked by Morrison early in the bout, I actually believe that he'd very likely wither the early storm, recupperate in time, and furthermore acclimate himself to dealing with Morrison's offensive barrage attempts.

Tommy would likely start tiring out by the 5th or 6th round and Golota would then methodically have his way the rest of the bout en-route to a UD win. He Could possibly stop Tommy around the 8th to 10th rounds but somehow I can see Morrison getting enough of a second wind to wither Golota's offensive barrages, but most likely I think that Andrew would remain content to outbox and outland Morrison just enough to control the tempo so to speak.

Basically I'd be around 70-30 for predicting Golota to win this bout, and as I stated, very likely by way of a cautiously fought methodical boxer/mauler style approach, with a good amount of clinching and leaning that 240 lb frame into the considerably lighter opponent in Morrison. This would keep Morrison from having enough energy to throw those blasting left hooks.
30-70 that Tommy could win though, and if so, then likely by a 3rd round Tko, because of Golota not being able to acclimate himself sufficiently enough.
All in all, it'd have some thrilling moments and regardless of the outcome, a rematch would likely be called for by various boxing promoters, and also by the many fans of each boxer. :geek:

The best Golota withstands the early onslaught and batters Morrison to a late stoppage.

This is a hard fight to predict. I could see anything from either man by KO, Golota by decision or Morrison by DQ.

Would be tremendous action almost certainly whatever the case.

Tommy hits harder and is faster. Golota has better fundamental skills. Better technique. Both have stamina issues. Both don't have the most reliable chins.

Anything could happen here.

If they were to meet in mid-1990's (1995-1996), I would've picked Golota.

However, if we take Morrison who put it all together in the Foreman fight in 1994 (or was it 1993?) - I'd pick him to blast Andrew.

The Duke would stop Golota late with a big left hook.

I would pick Andrew Golota in this fight. He was the better technician and probably the stronger fighter physically.
