Saw thread on here earlier. Fantasy match between Botha and James toney. What do you reckon. Seems like most said Botha would get his ass handed to him. But i think it would be a pretty decent close fight? Or is that just me?
:think I saw it too. Difficult to say really, as we simply don't know what Toney has left, although the weight loss is a good sign. I should think it would be a good technical scrap between two fighters that are roughly the same age. I can see Toney out hustling Botha, but then again, Botha does have that awkward style. This is an intriguing matchup. I would probably have to go with Toney to outwork Botha and get a SD victory. What say you?
I think your probarbly right. But the second half of the fight should be botha's in my opinion. If botha dont get knocked down early which to me James Toney probarbly aint gonna do. I think botha has a bigger heart in that ring than toney and that could count for alot in the latter stages. But this does depend on Botha being in real shape. Mind you that goes for James Toney too. But then again they both seem to be getting in good shape and getting sharpe.
True enough mate. I think that Botha edges Toney in the heart department and thus could manage to pull off the upset, but sadly, I just don't see this version of Botha being able to do so. But he is a tricky fighter no doubt, so you never know... If Botha did manage to pull it off, and it went to the scorecards, sadly, I think that the judges would rob Botha of a W.
Hey just read his interview. He sounds in good spirits and hope he means it about being motivated it could just make the difference! Few pounds off and a bit of motivations will push botha along way me thinks! Hope i can get the fight with Fischer in britain somehow.? eurosport of something.
He said he actually wants a shot at Klitschko before retiring.He really shouldn't think that far. But I'm rooting for Frans Botha all the way.
I doubt he''ll get a title shot period. But he can do damage on the old boxers circuit. Winner of Rahman-Mercer sounds good if he beats Fischer which Ithink he will.
