sonny bill $3, francois botha $1.40

Watch Botha in his last fight against Pianeta. His mobility is extremely restricted. For this reason I dont give Botha much chance. He will need to go hard early before he gasses, otherwise SBW will be able to take advantage of a tired old man, regardless of SBW's untested boxing ability.

 

Anyway might all be hypothetical. Word is this fight is now cancelled due SBW injuring himself in a rugby match in japan.

 

Yep just been confirmed Alex Leapai to be main event :good

 

**** off is this for real? Didn't some one suggest SBW would pull out due to injury. If Alex has stepped up and is main event them I again have the utmost respect for him. Botha is a not an easy fight. SBW is an absolute puss for not taking him on.

 

haha knew it!

 

I think so, SBW Injured his shoulder in Japan playing rugby.

 

Wow, well I suppose I owe capslock an apology then. Thanks for the update.

 

SBW out injured oh no.... but isint he on $100k a game in jap rugby, dont expect him to be out for to long prob 1-2 weeks long enough to get out of this fight , this was always going to happen he shouldnt have taken this fight, than tony mundine dropped him lol ..only option was to fake an injury

 

Botha probably sent them a memo that he had changed his mind and wasn't going to take a dive/throw the fight. Sonny Bill then all of a sudden gets injured and has to pull out.

 

This may have played a bigger role than I thought. It was pretty late in the game to change trainers...

 

This doesn't make sense to me why would you do that LOL. You risk getting ktfo yourself and if you don't land you'll gas early anyway, pathetic plan.


SBW is a bit of a mug, Botha should have just waited for the opportunity and land on him. Pianeta is vastly underrated here I believe he was way to slick and had too much length for Botha. The man isn't a can, he's pretty accurate and has good defensive capabilities. He actually made Botha look worse than he is, Botha would have had Tillman out quicker than SBW did that's for sure.

 

Yeah I called that it sounded to me like SBW was in a bit of trouble when Tony deserted him. I reckon Alex will make short work of Botha, Alex is 1000x greater than SBW.

 

LoL away. It makes perfect sense and I'm not interested in debating a fight that's not even happening now with an argumentative little **** like you. The only pathetic plan was when your parents decided to root without a rubber for the first and only time 16 years ago

 

Why would a seasoned professional like Botha fight like a mug and risk getting down troued by the likes of SBW. SBW is completely hittable without needing to bull rush him.

*NZ papers are saying its minor and he still is traveling to OZ and will fight. He reckon's he wont miss a rugby game either. I reckon he'll be good enough to play rugby but wont fight. When he fought the 44 yo sickness beneficiary he was good enough to box but couldn't play rugby!

whats the ****en difference between this and a lol?

How high do you rank SBW anyway, I put him just below prime Hoppa level at this stage of his career.
