    Lewis took him out in 2 fairly easily and Tyson also took out Botha but it was a come from behind win from a well placed overhand right. I'm convinced though that a prime Tyson could perhaps stop Botha in 1 round. What do you think?

    Well he couldn't dispose of Ruddock quicker so it's anyone's guess really.....

    Botha might very well end up like Berbick, which is a little longer into round 2.
