Unless you’ve been domiciled under the proverbial rock in recent times, then you should by now be well aware that there was a big fight in town. I am not talking about Bad Black vs. David Greenhalgh (aka Dumb White) or Kabakumba Masiko vs. Pretty Much Everyone. I am of course talking about the World Kickboxing Federation Intercontinental bout between Golola Moses vs. Andras Nagy. But I’m not here to discuss who won or lost. I’m here to address a larger issue.
Upon hearing of Besigye abdicating his FDC throne, Golola began training to become his replacement.
Even before the fight started, I found several people talking about how they wish Golola gets his ass kicked. First dwell on that sentiment for a second. A Hungarian champion flies to Uganda to challenge Golola and our won people wish abject failure upon our own representative! This is not mass murderer Joseph Kony. This is not a shady politician who has stolen money meant to prevent Ugandans dying from malaria and AIDS. This is a simple humble man who has trained long and hard in an attempt to try and be the best ambassador to Uganda that he can be in his chosen discipline.
Don't look for trouble before trouble looks for you...
Why are there so many haters? “He talks a lot!” Pardon my French, but so fucking what? So did Muhammed Ali. So does Jay-Z. And if anything, the boasts from these men and countless others merely served to increase their mass appeal. People need to understand this is a combat sport and the combat begins before reaching the ring. The most important element of a fight apart from physical fitness is the psychological fitness. When Golola makes grandiose statements that he trains by kicking down trees, he is not doing so because he is arrogant. It is to build a fear factor around himself so that he can intimidate opponents. Also to create humour for our amusement and to increase the profile of his sport which was pretty much dead until he came along.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Golola
But Ugandans are hating. With this type of attitude, is it a wonder that the Uganda Cranes recently fell apart against Kenya? As Ugandans, we must learn to love and support ourselves. Only then will we be able to conquer the world in every category we set out to dominate, whether in academics, sports, business or the arts.
Nagy is in trouble...

Good one Mr. Enygma. Hope you saw my rant too;http://eddie1991mayhem.wordpress.com/
Thank you, I hadn’t seen yours yet but I’ll read it and comment accordingly!
100% Correct!. I’m a shamed how Ugandan are such haters. The things I’ve read on facebook, in the news paper and on the street about Golola are heart breaking. Ugandan is classic case of a prophet is without honor in his own home.
Instead of appreciating him putting us on the map in positive way. People just want to bring him down
It really is so sad.I hope the history books will eventually remember him more kindly.
