Can we give Rummy a tribute to the work he has done through the years? He is innovative but grounded, critical when he needs to be but always respectful, has an appropriate sense of drama without being too bombastic, avoids cheap sarcasm and has developed some very interesting statistical innovations. Just want to honor an excellent independent journalist who is authentic, demonstrates humanity and gives this sport the gravitas it deserves. Thanks, Mr. Ciani. Helluva job and it all came together in this Golota masterpiece.

Golota was a trail blazer, the first Polish boxer to come to America and headline big fights, he inspired a generation of Polish boxers and at the peak of his career was the most famous Polish athlete in the world. Half of Poland used to wake up at 4AM to watch his fights. He had the athleticism, but not the mental strength to become a champion. Today he's seen as an icon in Poland and fans love him despite his shortcomings.

Andrew Golota knew he was really injured and that he had to stop right there or else he'd risk getting a serious permanent injury. A lot of balls from Andrew Golota to know his limit and admit defeat in front of thousands of angry "fans". He didn't deserve to be treated that way walking out of the ring.

I loved this Polish fighter! Andrew Golota is my childhood hero, favorite fighter of all-time, and the reason I got into boxing. A world title does not hold the same value as it did before the alphabet soups. Let's not forget that Golota has some worthwhile accomplishments, including an Olympic Medal (arguably the biggest achievement in boxing), and a larger-than-life national hero status in Poland. Golota was Poland's first star in professional boxing who put the nation on the global boxing map. Andrew's impact on boxing globally - specifically on millions of fans in Poland - is well documented as the Polish heavyweight is the link between the former Soviet Bloc countries and boxing success in the U.S. He made millions during his finest hour awakening hope in fans: the number one goal of every elite boxer. The scale of Golota's achievement, including its impact on the growth of professional boxing in Poland, will be appreciated only from a historical perspective, not until 20-30 years from now. This was the first Polish fighter I ever saw step into the professional boxing ring on TV and be equal in presence to such legends as Lewis, Bowe, Tyson, and Holyfield (the latter being the only fighter Andrew never shared the ring with). Andrew's reputation has already spread worldwide. For me, if Golota had become a heavyweight world champion, I would promptly name my own son in the Pole's honor. I loved the Pole!

@jdoro63

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, Adamek was as popular in Poland at a certain point in time but historically speaking, Golota is the most well-known Polish boxer. Meanwhile, Zbigniew Boniek is the greatest Polish-born footballer of all time, in my opinion. He was named to Pele's FIFA 100 and put together the most successful club career overseas than any other Polish player to date (Lewandowski's story hasn't yet been all written). With six career World Cup goals (including a hat trick in '82 against Belgium in one of the most impressive one-man performances in Cup history), 24 goals in 80 caps, and a third place finish for Poland at the '82 World Cup (equaling the nation's best-ever result), Boniek left an indelible mark on his nation's soccer history. Although many regard Poland's Boniek-less 1974 World Cup Squad (which also finished third) as the country's all-time greatest, I think that is debatable. In 1978, a young, bright star in Boniek debuted at the World Cup on a Poland team which is regarded as potentially the strongest side that the country ever produced (players who shined in 1974 were still present and outstanding youngsters such as the obvious Boniek and current National Team manager Adam Nawalka were coming up). What separates Zibi Boniek from Polish greats like Deyna, Lato, Gadocha, Lubanski, and others is Zibi's impact on the game and the legacy he left. In a ranking of the greatest to never win the Ballon d’Or, Boniek is the only Pole listed. Last but certainly NOT LEAST, Zibi's reputation spread worldwide like truly no other Polish player's. A household name in the 80s, Boniek was feted the world over. In 1984, in Honduras, a future national team player was born and named in Boniek's honor. This future player's father loved Boniek. Other Hondurans have also been named in Zibi's honor. That's saying a whole lot. Think about it, the only other soccer players I would ever imagine parents naming their kids after are Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, etc. Just to be in this exceptional group and elite company is impressive enough. There has not been another player like Boniek in Poland!! I hope Lewandowski can receive the same acclaim, but until he retires, it's Boniek ALL THE WAY!!!

Adamek was never as popular as Golota and didn't give such a level of dramaturgy but for sure he was a great boxer and well known too. Other recognizable Polish boxers are Krzysztof Włodarczyk, Artur Szpilka, Krzysztof Głowacki and from the past - let's not forget about Dariusz Michalczewski (it's sad he didn't fight with Roy Jones Jr.; for sure Roy would have been a favorite but Michalczewski had some chances). Interesting fact: even famous Polish poet and Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska was Gołota's fan and watched his fights during night times (in Poland there were nights during these events).

Andrew Golota was the a real world Ivan Drago. Bowe I: After 4 big fouls the ref did the right thing. There was nothing left to be done nor controversial about it. Golota's interview after the Mike Tyson fight was the saddest thing ever. He suffered a herniated disc, a concussion and a broken cheek bone. His managers wanted him to go on, and the audience threw stuff at him. In the interview he could barely talk and probably doesn't remember anything about it.

Gołota had a serious car accident on 20 december 1999. He was injured, he lost his great left jab. His friend also died in this crash. Fight with Tyson shouldn't even take place. Read more: www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-dec-21-sp-46078-story.html

Another great piece.

Great show! Thanks for the documentary- very well done.

Oh man love this format!!!! I think a longer video on just one fighter and his career is exactly right----great work!!! subbed ....there should be a million on this channel!!!!

The best polish fighter. That nights with Andrew fights was awesome. Thanks man!

you mean Golata the ball aimer? and also the fight quiter? haha, that is indeed the best.

Golata could of been one of the greats. Shame that he sabotaged his own career. Great documentary! Some good memories in there!

Thank you for making this video. It brings back the memories when me along with thousands of other Poles back in homeland that missed many hours of sleep in anticipation of Andrew's fights. Sadly, his mental state would not allow him to be a champion. Great content, Rummy.

The best boxing channel,love how this guy breaks down stories

You know your boxing my friend. great home documentary

Thanks Rummy. Very nicely done. I agree with you. After only seeing disjointed highlights of his faux pas, your commentary restores a lot of justice (and respect) to Andrew's boisterous career. Kudos to Golata. You have a new subscriber. Mozzman

Most comprehensive boxing videos on KZread. Keep up the good work!

What an absolutely amazing and comprehensive biography of Golota. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. Had me glued to the tube.

Just a sad story of what could have been =/

Elvathar - Agreed 100%. I'm here because it was in my recommendation list. i'm an old school boxing fan. Golota was a character... a poker face in the ring and a mix of hi end talent and hi end demons. A great story, but a shame he could not make it after all that work and turmoil to the finish line and get that belt. Tragic really.

The GOAT imo. None would win a 10-series bout with Lennox. He had everything.

I enjoyed this video. Thank you for that. That's one of the best boxing channels on youtube. You are a good storyteller. Great work!

So much potential in A.G., I remember feeling so devastated for him. Great recap Rummy.

Awsome video again!!i grew up watching these guys in the 90's.I would love to see another career recap of some 90's heavy weight...great stuff

Ah Memories. Nice Work. Golota won that fight against Ruiz. It's a bit disheartening that he didn't get that decision to become heavyweight champion after he resurrected his career. Also, that night he lost to Brewster, he dropped the torch which was picked up by Adamek who fought in one of the bloodiest battles on the undercard against Paul Briggs to win the light heavyweight title.

This is a really, really, really EXCELLENT video. Well edited, well narrated, and extremely entertaining. Thank you

Awesome video. Love these full length features. Keep them coming.

Fascinating insight, thank you for the effort not just in this video, but in all the videos I have so far seen. Best you tuber I come across

What a great documentary, Rummy. Top work. And a perfect statement at the end of it about physical and mental strengths of Gołota which never met each other. Thanks for this. Greetings from Poland.

Golota was very injured after the two Bowe fights..his arms/elbows/shoulder and knees (and a bad back) all required different treatments...you can clearly see that his body broke down and the snap in his punches and the bounce in his step had disappeared.....What a great job by this guy - Rummy....excellent documentary..what a great fucking channel!! USA - Tuesday Night Fights were fucking great btw!!! - Tommy Morrison, Golota, etc...great nights as a young bachelor in the 90s with my buddies!!

Great video Sir. I loved boxing. I was growing up at the time of this heavyweight blow up. You took me back to my youth. Its appreciated 🥃

I love watching these older fights! The good ole days!

I'm not sure any of us will ever really understand Andrew Golota. On his day, he had everything to be a world champion. the size, the power, the boxing skills yet there was always something missing.

Superb video Rummy. A wonderful combination of humor, boxing knowledge and perspective. How insightful to recognize that Golota's physical maturity and mental maturity had arrived at different times. It gives me a deeper appreciation of this fighter. Thank You.

This is by far my favourite channel even more so then boxinglegendsTV: Rummy, you just bust out tons of videos regularly and im only just a recent subscriber. You don’t get enough credit my man

Excellent documentary. I enjoyed it immensely.

Do another career recap for somebody/anybody else. this was great!

Rummy, you did an excellent job on this documentary. Your phrasing, pace, and video synching are all on-point. I hope you get paid well for your work.

What an amazing video. Thank you for this.

I have been a boxing fan for over 40 years. I think I have watched every boxing doc out there. But let me tell you when I see my notification on Rummy's channel, I cant wait to see what he has posted. Rummy's hand gets raised when it comes to boxing knowledge and content. Well done champ !

Great job man👍Andrew all the way💪💪

Great recap as usual, Rummy. I remember watching this one and when Golota bit him, thinking “This dude is out there.”

I don’t know how anyone gives any thumbs down to your videos! Always appreciate your insight and non biased reporting!! “Proving once again, I don’t know shit... about boxing.” 😆😆😆

Not enough emphasis put on the fact that he was absolutely correct in “quitting” that Tyson fight. The list of injuries he had was absolutely ridiculous, including his brain being loose in his skull according to his doctor. Everyone that called him a coward should try to do their job with the type of injuries Golota sustained.

Elvis no shit it's easy to judge someone when it doesn't affect you but it does cause all you badasses that called him a coward are just realizing that you would of quit if it had been y'all see you can see someone else that falls short and relate to them but you can't recognize when someone digs deep and puts all the pain behind them as they finish something that most couldn't because y'all couldn't that's why you talk shit bout other people that way you don't have to focus on your inner coward
