    Yeah I was really cheering for Francois until Mike shut me up. LOL I think he felt sorry for Botha after hitting him so goddamn hard.

    It's undeniable what a true warrior Frans Botha was. Definitely one of the greats of the 90s.

    We knew him as the magician. He possessed skills that were beyond demonstrability, ethereal, quintessential skills, truly of the fifth essence... mere mortals could not discern this stuff of the Gods...

    Just looked up Boswell's record. Not too shabby. Botha fought the better fighters but he lost a lot more. Then again, Cedric has a win over McCall (probably shot - but still) ... whereas Botha has Mike Hunter, Bostice and Hoffman. I think that these two are comparable. They probably would have been a good matchup.
