Francios even had more time to train as sbw had an op on his pec muscle or something.He may turn up fit,if he does,sbw is in trouble.I think kodder will pay for the win anyway.I remember overhearing him say to scott lewis trainer,once he heard scotty was doing very well in sparring,that a loss for sbw would cripple the boxing seen down here.
Botha's won one bout in 4 years (and that's not including his shithouse kickboxing and MMA efforts) and is fat, 44 and wasn't that good even at his best (though he had a huge heart and always had a dip). That said SBW has fought noone of note and Botha has a huge edge in experience but losing has become a habit for Francois and I reckon Sonny Bill will beat him just on youth and fitness.
have a look at the opponents compared to dunny's would u. and they didn't exactly blow him away. took plenty of rounds to ko him. dunny will have to run and jab as much as possible or he will be in trouble imo.
Botha just needs to go in there with the turtle defence and let Sonny puff himself out and KO him late. But I see SBW winning, they flew Botha in first class and they'll fly him out first class.
its prob both's last decent pay day, and with the aussie dollar being high and the south african dollar being **** weak he'll do alright out of this fight
Heres the latest http://www.3news.co.nz/Francois-Botha-ups-Sonny-Bill-threats/tabid/317/articleID/285748/Default.aspx Botha looks ok , SBW still looks like an arm puncher he will have to show better form than that Id think
You clownatsch I'm not stalking ya. You were the one having a pop at me earlier. I'd say you're stalking me.:hi:
Hold on, yes Botha is old,and fat, but he is a guy who can actually box and has been fighting at the highest level for 20 years. Alipate Liava'a is just as old,shorter and fatter and NEVER had any pedigree and he gave SBW some scares. Botha could finish this early.
