Andrew Golota's arm during an examination in Chicago, a week after he retired in the first round against Ray Austin in China. Golota's heart was questioned for the millionth time in his career, but that...is ugly.

He damaged it in his loss to Ray Austin. He may of pulled it when he was picking himself off the deck or when he tried to fire back with shots. Austin had Golota down in 3 secs and it went downhill from there. He could not throw a punch with it. Good reason to quit…again.

Golotas Heart

I think its more to do with the crazy bastards head then his heart issues. He does normally try to stand up after gettting knocked over for sure. Bowe fights he blew it with low blows- twice-but he showed real toughness in those fights , esp in the classic 2nd match. Fighting with a burst eardrum takes some doing. His state of mind was on another planet before facing Lewis, he was wandering around the broadwalk a hour before the fight. Grant he thought he was behind and pulled a no mas and you seen the Tyson fight.

Only times i seen him overcome adversity and win was against Mike Mollo & Samson Pouha years ago. And he had to bite his way out of trouble for that one.

I think he should call time now.
