Should throw him in the ring with Rob Berridge. Even though Rob would come in a lot lighter I'm sure he would make short work of SBW.

The Butcher would have punished him even 20kg lighter

Doubts have surfaced surrounding the Sonny Bill Williams and Francois Botha fight.

Some of the boxing / kick boxing events I have been to just leaving you shaking your heads at the blatantly rigged fights.. And its always in favour of the home town boy...

If they rematch, SBW's is going to get knocked out. He's no match for Botha..

It's a shame Botha hadn't turned it on a little earlier..

Still you got to take your hat off to SBW's.. He did well and did exactly what he needed to survive.. Another couple of rounds would have been a different story of course.. Im surprised I thought SBW's was a poor boxer..

I cant help but wonder how he'll go with a bit more experience under his belt.. Obviously he needs to learn to fight on the inside.. If he can step up his inside fighting skills, he may just get some where. He does have size and reach and his athleticism to rely on..

Just some thoughts but to be honest I don't think he'll ever go far.

Joseph Parker vs Botha, now that's going to be interesting.. If Joseph can really pull this off it will throw him in to the big time.. A very big and possibly way to early step up for J Parker.. Cant wait for that one..
