Comments Thread For: Sonny Bill Williams vs. Francois Botha Early Results

[Gordon_Gekko]

Can someone explain how a 12 round fight becomes a 10 round fight when the local boy is ready to go?

[sabonis11]

That was an absolute farce...

- I had Botha actually winning on points, despite what the ultra biased commentators thought.

- as mentioned above and by Botha's corner, this was a 12 round fight apparently. How in the hell can the ref decide that he's gonna change that and make it a 10 round fight?? It's so obvious that everyone knew he was about to go down and fast...just incredible.

- SBW should have been deducted points a number of times for holding, he had absolutely no response for any attack that Botha launched, just hugged and hugged, and hugged.

SBW has no future in boxing, you could even tell in his post fight interview that he knows it.

I don't know why I'm getting so worked up about such a pointless fight, but Boxing is hurt by crap like this..

Agree with the whole post, ridiculous fight but now it's got me upset! I didn't even really care about the scoring because it was KO or bust for Franz.... I had it 95-93 Botha at the end.

That was the most pathetic fight I've seen in a long ass time.

Sonny Williams should have been deducted points for excessive holding many times.

And wtf was up with it being a 10 rounder when it was scheduled a 12 rounder? Not to mention ref saying "30 seconds left" when there was still 1:30 on the click.

Don't knock it, it will be more entertaining than Mayweather-Alexander lol

Well that's true. If this fight was on the Floyd-Alexander under card it would have been fight of the night.

Definitely - except in that fight, I'll be happy if they trim the last 2 rounds.

[Fighting Pride]

Sick of this greedy rugby clown and khoder nasser using the sport to rip fans off in order to fill their bank accounts. Looks like quade cooper is the next one. It's a bad trend that's starting, that embarrasses the sport, even though it brings interest
