    ahmet temur aint 140 kgs, i saw his last fight hed be about 120 at max i think... and kirby is extremely tough, nathan briggs aint a big puncher but he hit him wiht some of the cleanest shots and it didnt face kirby in the slightest!

    I like Kirby's style out of the ring.....he's got a bit of lip and he enjoys the banter between the top fighters in AUST.......he's a larrikin and he will beat Soloman.....just ask him :D

    24 mate just needs to get fit an box a bit more instead of looking for that one punch knockout cause he can punch thats for sure.

    Sounds like an interesting fight to me. Last i heard he Botha is fighting in europe (probarbly germany). I also have not heard of this Kirkby fellow. So i wonder if that means it will be there? Id like to see Botha in even better shape than his last fight to show he is really on his way back. If he is Kirkby will have his work cut out for him.

    Now having never seen this Kirby fella before, I shouldn't comment, but isn't this a step backwards for Botha? He beat Timo Hoffman last time out (granted a much lesser version of Hoffman than what we are used to) and this just doesn't seem to be a step forward for Botha imho. Any thoughts?

    Aussie boxer BIG BOB MIROVIC fought TIMO and got robbed and i think KIRBY would stop BIG BOB it might be a step back for BOTHA but its a step up for KIRBY i just can't BOTHA winning unless he jabs grabs and runs

    Kirby has less than 10 fights however he has fights against 2 of our best HW'S in Briggs and Leapai.......Kirbys very tough but hes no Timo or Botha just yet.....its a big step up for Kirby and a step back for Botha.....however if Kirby does beat Solomon it changes things a little.

    Botha has had 3 fights in 7 years, 2 this year....

    Haven't seen any of the fights. His last win was a split decision.

    If Kirby comes in fit and fights upfront taking it to Botha he will have every chance of taking this by KO IMO.

    I saw Botha's last fight against Hoffman, it wasn't bad. He still has skills.
