NEW YORK: Heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis figures undefeated Michael Grant is a perfect candidate for his defense of the undisputed heavyweight championship. Golota dropped Grant twice in ...the first round but was unable to finish him off and wound up being stopped in the 10th round. Lewis thought that spoke volumes about the big guy.
Jefferson Park District officers were called to Andrew Golota's home in the 8000 block of West Berwyn Avenue about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday by two women police said Golota had picked up earlier at the ...intersection of Madison Street and Laramie Avenue and taken to his home. The women called 911 after leaving his house. When police arrived, they found the weapons and took Golota into custody. The women made other allegations, leading detectives to question Golota at the Grand Central Area detective headquarters from Wednesday morning until Thursday evening, when the gun charges were approved.
A Will County judge agreed last year to reopen and erase a 9-year-old misdemeanor conviction, but Golota's legal maneuvers weren't successful in Cook County, where he pleaded guilty in 2006 to a case ...involving a dozen firearms found in his home, records show. Immigration-court judges have discretion in cases involving "moral turpitude" convictions, though there are other factors that may play a role, said Sioban Albiol, a clinical instructor at DePaul University's Asylum & Immigration Law Clinic.
Lamon Brewster knocked down Andrew Golota three times with thunderous left hooks, the first coming 13 seconds into the bout. After Golota got up, Brewster continued to attack and knocked the ...challenger between the second and third ropes.
Heavyweight boxer Andrew Golota, widely reviled for quitting against Mike Tyson in October, is expected this week to agree to a 10% reduction in his US$2-million purse from Showtime, the pay-per- ...view broadcaster of the bout.
Friday was another dark day for the sport of boxing, as two fighters, nationally ranked heavyweight Andrew Golota and Saugus featherweight Bobby Tomasello, suffered serious injuries in separate ...bouts. Mr. Tomasello's death from his injuries thankfully is still unusual in the boxing world. But the injuries leading to his death and those suffered by Mr. Golota are not. What is shocking is the reaction of the fans and media epitomized yesterday by a Boston columnist's ode to the "noble" nature of boxing, in which he asserted that the then-comatose Mr. Tomasello would "stand forever tall" for displaying "the essence of a champion."
