Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall, Queensland, Australia - Rugby star Sonny Bill Williams (6-0, 3 KOs) ****** it up to win a controversial ten round unanimous decision over former heavyweight champion Francois Botha (48-9-3, 29 KOs). Williams swept most of the fight with his boxing ability, but it was Botha who rallied strong at the end. The scores were 97-91, 98-94, 97-91. Controversy broke out as the fight was always scheduled to be a twelve round contest, but it changed to a ten round fight without prior notice.

The verb "Best" doesn't suit here well. "Sonny Bill Williams Defrauds Botha" would be much better. To everyone's surprise, the fight was rescheduled to a 10-rounder as Williams was getting his ass kicked badly. There was no way he would have survived 11th round.

Kind of sick of these guys from different sports jumping to Boxing and acting like they are the best upon arrival.

Its not the first or last time thats happened. I had Jerry "Whimpy" Halstead in Milan Italy years ago fighting the Italian LtHvy Champ and Whimpy is beating this guy all over the ring. The ref is not breaking the clinches and the crowd is whistling (booing) their heads off! The ten round semi-feature became an 8 rounder during the seventh round hahahaha!!! Whimpy gets screwed on a blow out fight!!!! Thats boxing "on the road" for ya!!!! Ray.

I'm sorry but the ex heavy weight champion looks all the EX on it.. over weight, did not look in shape and still gave this Williams an ass whooping.. I would love to see Kimbo fight this Williams guys, two heavyweight "contenders" according to many, who only fight bumbs and have NO skills, just big muscles and now we know how athletes here get those..!!
