Frans Botha

Botha's was a "tough guy". I miss his fights too.

i would hope so...his record is like 2-8 or some shit like that Even in K-1 his ring entrance is cool. I've seen 2 K-1 fights of his and he lost both.

now all he does is get knocked k-1 I read somewhere that he is getting paid sweet cash for doing that.

It's not like any of those 3 even had chance of beating him. First thing, he fought 3 pro HW's in one day/night while he was a contender and that deserves props. Second, in boxing one punch is all it takes so he took a huge chance doing that. Listen I'm not saying he was a super hero or anything I'm just saying I liked him as a HW, I liked the way he carried himself. His entrance music, the way he walked to the ring, he came to fight everytime he stepped in the ring. There is not another HW like him.

Isn't it 3 fights in one day in Oklahoma City?? vs: Artie Hooks KO1 Mike Jones KO1 Russell Rierson KO1 WHO???????

I think you might be right, that shit impressed me when that went down. Todays HW contenders would'nt dare try that shit. It's not like any of those 3 even had chance of beating him.

I miss him. :( why? he's an overachieving bum

a few times if i remember right. Once held held it and tried to twist on it abut the ref broke it up early, the second time Tyson grabbed it and twisted the shit hard and Botha screamed in pain. I think Botha was getting into Tyson's head and Tyson resorted to typical Tyson tactics.

Your right. Not to mention Tyson tried to break his arm. a few times if i remember right.

he was outfighting and confusing tyson before he got confident and walked into that right hand. Your right. Not to mention Tyson tried to break his arm.

He was limited on skill when it came to fighting the world class guys and he was probably outmatched in all those fights, but he was fearless and came into every fight ready to throw down and I always respected that. he was outfighting and confusing tyson before he got confident and walked into that right hand.

I don't....though I am grateful for him laying some abuse on Shannon Briggs. His 2 fights in one day impressed me. And I always liked his ring walk and entrance music.

Does anyone else miss this guy? I don't....though I am grateful for him laying some abuse on Shannon Briggs.

Lewis knocked him out of the ring in one of my favorite KO's ever
