Should SBW take up boxing full time?

That's the thing though, Botha never hit him clean and rocked him, could you imagine what Leapai would do to him?

 

I agree but if he does fight again he will take the Mundine low risk high reward route.

 

Stick to league, a lot easier and safer to make a little money. His chin doesn't look at that good, Polynesian don't seem to be to gifted in this department of the fight game and sonny seems to be cut from the same cloth.

 

To be fair, he did better than I assumed he would, good jab, good straight, showed decent fundamentals for someone at his level but agreed he needs to get rid of Nasser and Mundine influencing him. If the fight had been signed for 10 rounds it wouldn't have ruined the victory, he would of got some respect.

 

SBW needs to distance himself from the sharks around him if he wants to be taken seriously.

The Botha fight took the shine from him for me, and the BS about Mandy being robbed against Geale was the icing on the cake.

I think he could do ok if he applied himself to boxing only, but as I said, he needs a different team behind him.

 

If an old has been like Botha can find his chin and nearly KO him, what do you think a solid heavyweight would do to him? He should stick to rugby as he is making good money and is very good at it.

 

He ****ing did not, watch the video again, he got a few handbag swings at him, and punching the side of hsi head.

Hit him clean... :rofl

In a few years it would still be the same outcome, you can't train your chin to take punches better mate.

 

U mean the third last round not the tenth

 

If any of those guys had any concern whatsoever for Sonny Bill they would have thrown the towel in, not ending it the way it did.
If that was a serious young prospect you would expect him to be handled better especially in public.
The win looks no better than a loss now as it has been overshadowed.
