Francois Botha vs. Ross Puritty.

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.

 

Botha was a distinct class above. Wide decision win.

 

In South Africa, Botha wins because the deck is stacked and even if it’s close they’ll raise his hand.

Put it in America with fair judges (Ross is nobody’s A-side so just being from the U.S. isn’t going to give him any edge on the cards) and it could be interesting as I think it would be close and go to the cards.

If I had topic, I’d go with the White Buffalo but outside of SA, without a lot of confidence.
