I hope he goes with a fight like this Kirkby fellow. It will be good to get him back in some kind of top level shape (Which we havent seen for a while). A good tune up fight which is the sort of level he needs to get him back to where he needs to be. So he can start challenging the top ten fighter once more. Gooooo Botha!
Now having never seen this Kirby fella before, I shouldn't comment, but isn't this a step backwards for Botha? He beat Timo Hoffman last time out (granted a much lesser version of Hoffman than what we are used to) and this just doesn't seem to be a step forward for Botha imho. Any thoughts?
I kinda agree as i also never heard of him. Cant see his name on boxrec either. Surely he can get a bigger fight than this. But perhaps he is just thinking about it as a tune up fight? He needs to stay more active me thinks.
Could be. Even as a tune-up though, he is virtually a no name to most of the world. I good tune-up would be a Taurus Sykes type opponent or something. This type of opponent (Kirby) just doesn't seem right to me. But who knows?...
Well at worst he gets this with Kirkby and wins and just uses it as another tune up fight. At best he could get a good fighter on his german contract. I think many would find it maybe a step too far but i think a brewster sort of fighter would be good. If he is going get back to the big time he needs to fight guys like this. But we will see.
I tend to agree, but unless he gets himself in much better shape, I don't think he is yet ready for a Brewster. I think he should go back to pursuing that cowardly Solis.
I like botha......briggs is on the comeback so we hear...........how bout briggs/botha 2...............botha was robbed..........
