at a local fight card in the afternoon and I didn't make it back in time to
watch the heavyweight card. A lot of the fans and the media are saying Galota
won but was robbed of the decision. Who do you think won the fight? Anyone else
out there, please post your opinion.It appears that Ruiz once again
pulled out a win in a sloppy fight. It seems he has an uncanny ability to rise
to the occasion even when the rise is not to a very high level.|

grazie !||||10|Golota is a very strong fighter, with probably a decent shoe
size. His only flaw is the lackof " mental stability ". Tyson-Golota was "
Stell" Mike Tyson's last great fight ! Too bad for Mike that he destroyed
his own win by assuming mariujana. I was thinking: Ruiz is heavyweight
champion of the wordl, Byrd is heavyweight champion of the wordl. I think that
Jerry was better of both them. Nowadays he would be heavyweight champion of the
wordl ! Maybe not undesputed, but anyway champion of the wordl. Ciao. Eat
lasagne, they are so good ! PS; unfortunately, I haven't seen Byrd-
Golota, so I can't judge the fight.|

Sun website (lasvegassun.com) and hit "columnists" then go to "accent
columnists" you will find an April 16 article about JQ.|

sucker for effective aggressiveness, so Golota won on my card. It was the best
fight of his career. Obviously he was better against Bowe before the incidents.
It is a shame that Golota froze or acted crazy in his definitve fights. It has
always been obvious to me that if you put Evander's heart and Golota's skill
together you would have one of the best fighters of all time. I do not say that
lightly.|
|4/20/04 09:44:01 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|It all
depends on what impresses the judges the most, effective aggressiveness or total
number of punches landed. From what I understand, Byrd outlanded Golota but
Golota was pressing the action and Golota landed the harder, more effective
punches. Apparently the judges saw merit in what both fighters did in the
fight, hence the draw verdict.|

think you put it very well. That pretty much sums up how fights are scored and
why people see things differently---leading to disputed decisions. I didn't see
the fight. The way you describe it, I'd probably score it for Byrd. Of course,
it also depends how consistent the fighter is throuhout the fight---the old
"stealing a few rounds" method. Ali managed to get decisions over Shavers and
Norton, who clearly landed the harder, more effective punches, by landing more
(albeit lighter) punches himself. He'd win more rounds even though Shavers and
Norton had far better rounds in the ones they won. When I scored a fight, it
would take a knockdown for me to give it to someone 10-8 (on the 10 point must).
For that reason, Ali would win a lot of 10-9 rounds by looking better (ring
generalship) with the pitter-pat punches. I could see how you would score
Norton the winner in their third fight, but in Ali's fight against Shavers, I
think he won fairly comfortably even though Shavers got the better of him with
the harder punches. If there was any doubt, he erased it with the strong
finish. |

to go to the vegas paper and see that an EX wrote shit about Jerry, why after 5
years of being dead would someone want to write that stuff, i can only hope one
