Yep. His trainer did. Announcer's were trying to gloss over it. Now they they said, "10 or 12, which was it?" and then just moved on. But they were surprised when the ref first said that the 10th would be the last.

Botha thought it was 12. Boxrec and bookies had it 12. Announcers thought it was 12. It was a title fight. Unbelievable level of bullshit.

Still impressed with SBW, but he loses if they don't decide to cancel the rest of the fight once he's in trouble.

In work so can't catch any of it but it sounds like Botha was close to closing the show in the next 2?
If this went one more round SBW was done.

He demanded one during his interview. He shouted loud enough for Williams to hear across the ring, but the kid wouldn't even make eye contact.

Fuck me boxing can be so corrupt at times it funny. Love the way Williams was hurt in the 9th and they just decided fuck it we'll only do 10 rounds. SBW has gotton alot fuckin better.

I'll have to watch it when I get in. Hopefully some sort of enquiry will happen into the sudden change in rounds.

You can't blame SBW. Dude didn't even know where he was and impressed me.

However, something this blatant might warrant a criminal investigation. Not that there will be one. But I don't think this can be explained away, like poor judging can be.

SBW should never show his face ever again after that pathetic display.

Just clicked on the WBA International Belt on Boxrec and there have been both 10 and 12 rounders on there so an excuse for team SBW to fall back on. What did the announcer say at the start of the fight?

Twelve. Everywhere this has been mentioned or advertised, it's been twelve.
