Well as soon as its on its gone. He was on boxrec to fight willie Fishcher and now its been taken off. By tonights events i think he could make a name for himself here in britain by ko'ing Tyson Fury. (by the sounds of things McDermott was robbed)
He did come back, and got stopped in the first round vs. a man named Osborne Machimana. Here is the link to the fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Or_cL5tHc And here is the link to Machimana's record: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=24285&cat=boxer
Finnally confirmation that the Buffallo is back! October 24th. It is willi Fischer the opponent. Its his first show since signing with ses boxing and i think he needs and will get a ko. Cant say i know too much about this Willi "The Ox" Fischer but his records seems comparable if not slightly less so than Timo Hoffmans. Hence the reason i think Botha will get the Ko that i am hoping for! Go Botha!
He can beat Fischer. But Botha did get lucky that Danny Williams was knocked out, he would lose to an elite Heavyweight.
I am not sure I consider Williams to be "elite." A good figher no doubt, who could be on the verge of spectacular on a good night. But too hot and cold to ever make it to elite status.
Danny Williams elite? I have never heard someone refer to him as that before. As for fighting Botha, i thought it was a good idea and would have been a pretty good match. But how much heart has Danny Williams left has yet to be seen. He was pushed all the way by John McDermott and in my eyes lost at least one of those fights. We will see what he has in the tank in the prizefighter tournament.
I tthink Botha will win. Altough he's 41 and Fischer is 37 I think The Ox is more past it between the 2. Anyway WAR BOTHA!
Beginning to get some momentum behind the Botha train now. And i notice he is now up to 39 on Boxrec. He may take a couple more positions if he gets past fischer. Not quite sure how there points sytem works? Anyway with Lamon Brewster directly above him at number 38 if he beats fischer maybe its should be brewster next! And i think he is fighting in germany too?
My trainer actually helps Franscios out in the corner for his fights...I havnt met the man but from what I hear he is quite a character :happy :bbb
