Tongan heavyweight prospect Samson Po'uha was 15-1 when he took on another prospect in 23-0 Polish gentleman, Andrew (Andrzej) Golota. "Gentleman" may be something of a misnomer. He was unofficially nicknamed "The Foul Pole." It was May of 1995, in Atlantic City, and a wild affair that Michael Buffer rallied the crowd for at the official finishing announcement. Golota was in pretty serious trouble as Po'uha, who'd recently rallied back from nearly being stopped himself, turned the tide and was laying down a whooping. Golota knew he had to do something to get through the round. But apparently it wasn't using his gloved fists first.
In his defense, it's not like you get to have a snack time at work when you're boxing on TV. If he was hungry, what's he going to do? Eat his gloves? He's not some glove-eating barbarian! His blood sugar was low! He's only human!
