    I think this would be a pretty good fight, who would win?

    Purity was a pretty durable fighter and Botha wasn’t exactly a huge hitter. So this lends itself to the idea that a fight like this would most likely go the distance. Botha had quick hands and decent boxing skills. Purity had power and a big heart. I’m inclined to favoring Botha by decision UNLESS Ross lands something big at an opportune time

    If Botha can beat Gideon Hlongwa he can beat Purrity

    Puritty probably just follows Botha around with a high guard, and gets outworked. Botha UD.

    Botha's stamina would fail and he'd get stopped late while up on the cards.
