    Jesus... where you getting your odds. Before I left this morning, he was standing at -160... a lot closer than 5:1.
    Yeah he's talking crazy. Maybe 5-1 at the bookie closest to SBW's house

      Williams isn't even a boxer, he had never been beyond 6 rounds in his "career". The only shock here is how he managed to get to 10 rounds in the first place.

      If he wasn't such a gifted athlete it would have been KO1 or KO2.

        i had the fight 95-93 botha after each point deduction. i had it 3-2 williams after 5 rounds & i gave botha 4 of the last 5. williams held lots, missed too often & was backed up all fight. botha was toying with him & was exploiting the ref who was way out of his league in this fight. he was fighting dirty & laughing. he was in total control but he's 44 so he wasn't putting the pedal to the medal. botha has been 12 rounds many times & was fighting according to plan. take him to deep waters & drown him...too bad he needed a knockout to get a draw...

          It's either in the contract as 10 or 12. I would be interested in seeing pre fight press conference clips, media releses etc by SBW's promoters.

          Botha repeatedly double punching the sides of SBW's head because the ref wouldn't stop the holding was classic.
          good call...i checked it & the last 5 fights involving this title were only 10 rounds.

            This sucks for Botha, they fucked him over. Rematch if the rugby player dares.

              His rugby contract gives him an easy out to avoid the rematch.

              When/if he does return it will a 6 or 8 round bout against someone who isn't even as good as an ancient Botha.

                Botha took his soul last night, I seen it in his eyes.

                He won't go near the buffalo again
