I Guess That Golota Fight Wasn’t Fixed
By Larry Brown November 20, 2008 - Posted in Boxing

A few weeks ago I showed a video of Andrew Golota’s fight in China against Ray Austin. I railed on Golota pretty hard for getting knocked down in two seconds and for quitting after a round, claiming he had a biceps injury. It was a natural reaction considering Golota’s history and the fact that the fight was promoted by Don King. But thanks (sorta) to With Leather and SecondsOut, I have come to see that Andrew Golota’s injury was indeed genuine, and for that, I apologize.

I know you’re thinking to yourself right now that it’s awfully big of me to apologize and admit I was wrong. Sure, I have to admit when I screw up, especially when I see such visual evidence. Truth is there was no way I could go without posting those photos after seeing them. Gross ass stuff.

    I’ve seen some nasty deformed bruising on guys who had bicep, tricep or
    pec tears but this one is HOLY SHIT!

    It is good of you to apologize. Dan Rafael had some kind of knee-jerk, told-ya-so reaction, too, and as far as I know, he never apologized or retracted. So thanks.
