The other major heavyweight championship fight I attended was in Joisey - and wasn't much of a competitive fight - Lewis KO'd Golotta in the 1st round. Still, the Go-Lo fans/hooligans in their white and red face paint with Polish flags draped over themselves made it all worthwhile.

There were a few pretty intense fights in the crowd throughout the night.

I reminded a lot of people of a young Peter McNeely in my boxing days - just without quite as much skill and accuracy.

Golatta was a thug in Poland.
Total trash. He would have fights
won and go south of the border with
a punch to get DQed. One of the dirtiest
heavyweight fighters.
