Comments Thread For: Hekkie Budler Tested Tough, Retains Over Khonco

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hekkie Budler won one of the most memorable fights in recent years in South Africa when he beat Simphiwe Khonco on points on Saturday night.

The WBA and IBO minimumweight champion won the battle at Emperors Palace near Kempton Park 117-111, 115-113 and 116-112, and immediately conceded it had been one of the hardest of his career.

Budler had to pull out all the stops to avoid a shock defeat such as the one the Springboks had suffered against Japan in their Rugby World Cup match earlier in the day.

Glad to see it. Budler fights often and can be fun to watch. Hope he keeps winning and improving. I wouldn't mind a fight with him and Roman Gonzalez as they are two little guys fairly well known inside boxing anyway.
