SBW set to fight Francois Botha in November

[maccaz]

Looking forward to this, granted it was 13 years ago, Botha fought mike tyson in 1999 and was winning by points until he was ko'd in the 5th.

should be a good step up for sbw

[Hitro]

Bothas well out of shape nowadays but lets face it he was never actually in that great a shape anyway.

But anyway, Botha can box and knows his way around a ring. Will be a good challenge for SBW for sure

[Ninja]

How old is this guy now? He looked old in 1999

[tomsammce]

yawn... what a joke.

guessing it will be payper view? so lame.

sbw matched up against a washed up old man

im not even a boxer and i could drop botha in the 1st round

i'd drop sbw too if i ever saw him irl

[student]

i wanna see sbw get fucked up already

[Wookie]

I don't think this is going to be an easy fight for SBW at all. Old and 'washed up' as Botha is, even a few years ago he still had a great long jab and a solid overhand right. Definitely not an easy fight for him.

Botha was beating Tyson on points till he got ko'd. Yes it was 13 years ago, but he's vastly more experienced than anyone SBW has fought.

i know he's got experience, but Francois Botha: age 43

[elerew]

Botha's fought in the K1 kickboxing tournament and I think he managed to win a few fights without throwing a kick. Sonny's got height, reach, speed and age. Botha's got power and experience. I'd favour SBW to win with Botha's only chance of winning by way of KO. I personally wouldn't pay to watch it. But if someone else paid, I'd watch it :pfft:
