In his career he won right-hand bouts with Richard Lupkes, Ryan Espey, Matt Girdner, or Earl Wilson. In left he's beaten Eric Woelfeley, Sylvain Perron and Tom Nelson.
I have better control in that arm – he says.
In his sports career he's had a few difficult fights.
All fights are difficult, when you go toe-to-toe, and the fighters have opposing styles – says Gould. - My toughest opponent was Eric Woelfel. He has a powerful top-roll. It was hard to face it.
As Gould was informed of the Vendetta fight very late, all he can do is train as hard as he is capable to.
Vendetta is a great opportunity for me, a test of my skills, and I feel that I can win – says Gould. - Żółciński looks like a very strong opponent, in great shape. I think he has the power, but he lacks experience. And I'm going to use my experience to beat him.
Armfight #44 will take place on 24th October in Las Vegas, on one of the scenes at Fremont Street. There will also be a TV broadcast in CBS Sport Network, we will keep you posted on that.
