    ** NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED **
    November 20th, 1999. Undefeated “Big” Michael Grant takes on “The Powerful Pole” Andrew Golota in a WBC Heavyweight Title Eliminator, with his NABF Heavyweight Title also on the line in his first defense.
    The winner of this fight will earned the opportunity to face Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis who held the WBC Heavyweight Title at that time (among other titles). 2 years earlier, Golota faced Lewis in a WBC world title fight and was easily knocked out in the opening round.
    Prefight records; Grant 30(21)-0, Golota 34(28)-3.
    Entering the bout, Golota’s most notable bouts were DQ losses to Riddick Bowe back in July and December 1996 where he was beating Bowe to the punch in almost every round but somehow unable to stop himself from fouling especially throwing low blows despite multiple warnings from referees in both meetings.
    Although he officially lost those 2 fights, but he somehow proved that he was indeed a threat at top level particularly with the showcase of his skills, power and precision despite his notorious tendency to resort to dirty fighting.
    Once a heavily hyped prospect, 27 year old Micheal Grant standing at 6’7” with an 86” wingspan amassed an impressive 30 win streak from his debut in July 1994 till his 30th fight in June 1996 where he picked up wins over notable oppositions in Lionel Butler, David Izon & Lou Savarese.
    On the other hand, the 31 year old Golota from Warsaw had defeated the likes of Danell Nicholson & Tim Witherspoon (albeit a past best version).
    From the opening bell, both fighters set their jabs up early and exchanged right hands but Golota was in better control and scored 2 knockdowns that badly hurt the undefeated young challenger who courageously rose to his feet although clearly shaken and bleeding in his mouth from the pinpoint assaults of the powerful Pole.
    Andrew resumed control in the following round and landed more right hands but he was warned for holding and hitting behind the head and lost a point in the 3rd for low blows but Grant also connected with some shots below the belt line and received a warning too.
    In the 4th, Grant was penalized one point for low blows and he also lost that round.
    After 12 minutes, Golota was leading in the scorecards as he won rounds 1 and 4 by 3 and 2 points respectively due to his sharp jabs that allowed him to dictate the tempo and create openings for his strong right hand. Harold Lederman had the defending champion 6 points behind after the 1/3th mark.
    Grant managed to get a second wind and come back to win the 5th and 6th as he connected with big right hands after reestablishing his jabs and shaken off the cobwebs from the Polish fighter’s early thunder.
    Between the 7th and 9th rounds, the pace slowed down as both showed signs of fatigue but punches were traded more evenly but Golota was still more effective and ahead in the cards. However, Grant was gradually gaining momentum as the fight progressed into the championship rounds, despite having absorbed tremendous punishment.
    Golota told the referee Randy Neumann he did not want to continue after rising from a knockdown in the tenth round.
    By the time of the stoppage, the 3 judges had Andrew ahead 87-80, 86-81 & 85-83 while Lederman unofficially had it 86-81 for Golota.
    With this win, Grant earned the right to face reigning Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis who held the WBC title at that time. The fight took place on April 29th 2000, where he was decked 4 times en route to a one sided KO2 loss despite a courageous effort.
    After the devastating defeat, he was still determined to become world champion and made several comebacks. However, he was never again the same fighter due to the punishment he took against a prime Lewis, who is arguably the Greatest British Heavyweight in the history of the sport.
    Hope you guys enjoy this highlight of a good albeit foul filled Heavyweight fight from the late 90s, and remember to SUBSCRIBE for continuous boxing goodness! Keep punching.

      Well Golota was finished by both of them. What's your point? So the talented Golota was waxed by green Grant? Doesn't sound good for Golota to lose that fight then. Golota had success against one great and that was riddick bowe. And that's because styles make fights and Bowe was past his prime, and Golota threw dozens of low blows. It was so bad at one point that he flat out threw a 4 punch combo to riddick bowes balls

    • @Pulsonar
      @Pulsonar Před 3 lety +2

      Not sure many believed Grant would beat Lewis just because he is big and outmuscles Lewis. I think most boxing fans would have expected Grant to last longer against Lewis because he is a decent boxer thats all. Grant did well here to weather Golotas initial storm in this title eliminator and pull out a victory with good boxing form, determination and resolve. Golota always seems to lose it when his best work doesn’t reward him as expected. Grant knew enough to persist and frustrate him with his awkwardness and disturb Golotas mental weakness (especially after getting up easily
      after each knock down). He mixed this with nice inside combos and even picked him off with good long range shots. However, he needed more than this against Lewis. For a start Grant was easy to hit, had poor head movement, loses composure easily when hit to make that gangly awkwardness work against him more than it did for him, and his footwork was nothing special. Lewis had far superior footwork than both these guys and excellent defensive skills. Also If Lewis had anyone shaken with shots from all angles it was usually curtains! Grant and his coach simply underestimated Lewis’s superior ring craft, tact, KO power and killer instinct that works in all conditions.

      Very true! Actually even in this fight he was doing very and he was missing a lot of the vicious punches. Had he gone on he probably would have won coz although he was down he still looked strong to go on, and he did not have to worry coz he had already scored 2 k.downs earlier in the fight. Also Grant had used up his reserve at this point and with most of his shots not hitting target it was causing mental wear.
      He could have won this one, although mental stability is a crucial part of the game.

One punch and he quit. Grant was getting punched all night before he landed one. Now who has the weak chin? I know you white guys. Every black fighter has a weak chin if they show any sign of being hurt. But if it was the other way around for Golota, you would say they're heavyweights and that's normal.

    Golota could have been a better fighter/slugger had he had the correct mind frame and commitment, too bad that sometimes he chooses to fight dirty with lo-blows etc., Grant the forever Glassjaw did his best, this was a significant era to watch the heavyweights, must say that in my humble opinion Lennox Lewis has been the most significant heavyweight, well, after Muhammad Ali of course.

      It's funny how you call Grant glass jaw but he finish Golota. Problem is not throwing nut shots. The guy simply had no heart once he got punched good on the chin. all the talent in the world but he was a quitter. So maybe Grant had a glass jaw but Golota had a glass heart

I could not belive why he gave up the fight. He let all of us down terrible. Now i know, he just had psychological problems. Btw if he wanted be top Hw should been knock guy like Grant out without any problem. He could not, we overestimated Golota as a Poles.

    They pushed Grant too fast! He would been a problem for the entire division had they taken their time with him, or he started his career much earlier. He only had 12 amateur fights, and actually starting boxing after 20 or 21. So, all the fights he did win were based on sheer athleticism and grit.

    • @cpx2584
      @cpx2584 Před 2 lety +1

      He most likely wouldn’t have won a title even in the very weak post-Lewis era. Golota, who’d been KO1’d by Lewis three years earlier, was outboxing him pretty comfortably. American fight fans in general do tend to overhype their own (see Jeff Lacy)

    Es una pena que un boxeador tan bueno echase su carrera a perder por tener tan mala cabeza, pudo haber ganado con facilidad a Bowe las dos veces, a Grant también le tenía mucha ventaja a los puntos, Grant le derribó una vez, eso puede pasar pero estaba bien para seguir y no quiso, contra Tyson se quejó de cabezazos, fue derribado una vez en el 1º y en el 2º asalto parecía empezar a hacer su pelea pero no quiso seguir peleando. El problema de este hombre era mental, por capacidad física iba muy pero que muy bien, lamentablemente para triunfar se necesitan las dos cosas.

      Compared to Grant, Wilder has an iron chin. He's only been on the floor twice in his career, both in the same bout. Grant was knocked down almost every time he fought someone with a pulse. Grant got demolished by journeymen level fighters like Dominic Quinn and Jameel McCline.
      Obviously you weren't around during the 90s or you'd never come out with such a dumb and uneducated statement.
