    Wasn't he training Botha around the time he fought Briggs? Pretty sure he was in his corner for that fight...

    That's exactly the fight I was watching parts from earlier. I thought it was his face in there.

    Underrated fight... Thought Botha got the better of Briggs overall but the verdict was fair due to the close nature of many of the rounds as well as the KD. Luckily for Briggs it was a 10 rounder.

    Trainers train good fighters and bad. Both had his ups and downs, but he was never in the class of Corrie Sanders.

    Forgot about Botha working with Sanchez. I remember him being trained by Panama Lewis for quite a few years if I’m remembering correctly.
