i remember watching in shock as botha was beating tyson back in the 90's..untill BOOM tyson lands a thundering right hand that droped botha like he had been shot.,

 

252-samw weight as last time.

At least he's not heavier lol.

Hope he wins.He should.

 

i havent seen this other guy fight..he's very tall..but is he any good?

 

HJave no idea.Haven't seen him fight.

Just know he's old,inexperienced and heard he got robbed with Charr.

 

What a **** fight. Terrible performances by both fighters. Botha is shot to pieces. Carrion actually did better than expected, and probably would have deserved the nod. But he still looked amateurish and wouldn't have had a chance in hell against the Botha of old. Since they both looked terrible nobody really deserved to win this, I think a draw was ok.

Remember, after his close win against Timo Hoffmann I said that Botha should retire - it was clear to me that he is shot. I was so right, and tonight it was blatantly clear. He should have retired with one last good win then. He should definitely retire now.

 

How about Botha vs Tua? Who would you favor in the fight?

 

I don't wanna see it. After tonights shitty performance, I think even a faded Tua would stop Botha in brutal fashion. Botha is too easy to hit, he's slow, no timing, out of shape..

Bring on Tua-Brewster or Tua-Oli McCall instead.

 

Botha won it was not a draw. It was a robbery. The sport of boxing doesn't need this ****. :bart

 

you're right, it wasn't a draw. But I thought they announced it as a majority draw in the ring. Don't know why they changed it to a decision for Botha afterwards. Maybe I got it wrong.
Sure, it was a robbery. Not because Carrion looked good, but because Botha looked even worse. But both men looked so bad that neither really deserved to win this..

 

I haven't seen the fight but hope t odo so tomorrow or so.

Don't put much into this bad performance,Botha said he hurt his hand in the first round nad was clearly unmotivated after Fischer pulled out.I think he just doesn't get up for it unless he has a tough challenge.

 

I watched the fight and even as a Botha supporter I have to make this perfectly clear for those who didn't see the fight:

Botha clearly let his fans down by putting down another horrible perfomance. Botha came in overweight and out of shape, just as he did against Hoffmann, and got out-manouvered by a very weak amateurish styled opponent. The German crowd, although pro Botha at the beginning of the fight, booed the South African hero badly when the decision was announced. I wouldn't say that Botha is 100% finished, but he should redicate himself or retire. I don't mind seeing old timers as long as they are in shape. Botha should take an example in fellow former champion McCall before fighting again.

 

I can't find the fight to save my life.
