    Definitely Grant is going to win this, probably middle rounds stoppage.
    I'd like to see him fight one of the Klitschko bros. Probably wouldn't win but he posses similar strength, height and greater reach than them. I think he could bother them a lot in this fight. Or at least we would be finally given the opportunity to see K2 brothers fighting someone as tall as them

    Michael Grant is such a disappointment IMO. The guy had all of the physical tools, lived a clean life and looked absolutely unstopppable - until he got a chin check and a boxing lesson by Andrew Golota. It's been all down hill for him since he came back and won that fight.

    just spotted some rounds, quite awful stuff, Grant didn't do ****, Botha at least came forward occaisionally with some windmill style spurts..
    and Botha was just too tired to block that right hand after Grant tipped him twice with the jab

    Maybe Grant wasn't in shape. I don't know, but I now it's a waste of size and potential. I know he didn't have much of an amateur background, but I still had high hopes for him.

    News reports say Botha was schooling him for 12 rounds and Grant landed a lucky big shot in the last 30 secs to win it.

    You can see the entire fight online. How can you be outboxed by Frans Botha and then call out the Klitschkos?
