SBW survives late White Buffalo onslaught
8 Feb 2013
Sonny Bill Williams beat Francois Botha on points in Brisbane after the boxing bout was controversially reduced from 12 to 10 rounds during the fight.
The former All Blacks centre was hanging on by a thread in what turned out to be the last round and would almost certainly have lost if another two rounds had been allowed.
The judges awarded the fight to Williams 97-91, 98-94 and 97-91.
‘I love Sonny Bill, but this is bullshit,’ Botha said afterwards. ‘I beat him hands free!’
Earlier, Wallabies flyhalf Quade Cooper won his first professional fight in a first-round knockout of Australian Barry Dunnett.
There will be repeats of both fights on SuperSport at 3pm (SS5) and 7pm (SS1).

Sonny Bill wants a rematch……………………………………in SA.
In Cape Town.
” I will probably have more support than he does”. Sonny Bill.

Actually for all the fuss,
Sonny Bill doesn’t seem to give a fat rats arsse.

It keeps getting better. Now I remember why I don’t watch a lot of boxing. I’d rather waste my precious timing on WWF, at least everyone knows the rules – every match is fixed and steroids are probably optional.

@the curse-800: Hi pops, you are spot on: Strydom was the promoter from Botha’s side.
We all know Nasser is SBW’s agent

@cane-808: @cane-808:
Botha has made a fool of all South Africans ranting on about this and that after the fight when we no now he new the fight was 10 rounds and to add insult to injury he tested positive for drugs.
10 Feb 2013, 13:30 pm
@Meno-807:
And you are shouting about how African you are? Yet you turn your back on your own country and want to preach about being African?
Lol. And you want to be taken seriously?
10 Feb 2013, 13:30 pm

@Meno-811: Uncalled for remark !!!

SEVERE doubts have been cast on Francois Botha’s reported positive test to a banned substance before his WBA title fight against Sonny Bill Williams.
Fairfax Media stated Sunday night that Botha’s urine tested positive for banned stimulant Phentermine after a sample was taken last Tuesday.
However, Australian National Boxing Federation committee member John Hogg said it would be “bizarre” if Botha was even tested, let alone did so knowing he would fail.
Hogg is the ANBF Queensland representative and was the man who sent Botha for his full medical last week.
Hogg said there were no compulsory performance enhancing drugs tests required for boxers in Queensland and he had never heard of Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority spot-testing professional boxers in Queensland.

Dawn, dogfood and nama1 will be there in the front seat with their All Black jerseys, trying to get splashed with Money Binn’s sweat.

An ASADA spokesman said the body was not in a position to make a formal comment on the issue but typically boxing title fights fell out of their jurisdiction.
Williams deservedly defeated Botha on points at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last Friday, but was out on his feet in the 10th round when the fight ended despite everyone believing it was a 12-round contest.
Fairfax’s report did not mention which body tested him and how the results were returned in five days.

Capo!!!! How have you been my old racist poodle fancier?
10 Feb 2013, 13:32 pm
this whole thing is just falling further into a cesspool of lies, corruption, blame game and so forth..
it really is the biggest farce and circus Ive seen in sport, and there have been a few
who knows what to believe from either camp anymore?

No, Jacob Zuma made a fool of all South Africans when he became President..

There was no WBA official at the fight. “I sent Frans for a complete medical which tested him for hepatitis and AIDS etc but that is the only testing required of professional boxers,” Hogg told The Courier-Mail. “I have never heard of ASADA spot-testing professional boxers in Queensland.
“I would think I would have heard about ASADA testing Botha or Sonny Bill because they have never showed up to boxing gyms in Queensland or on fight night.
“Tests for performance enhancing drugs are not compulsory in Queensland.”

@the curse-800:
Williams’ manager, Khoder Nasser, WAS THE PROMOTER OF THE FIGHT NIGHT last Friday and did not respond to requests from The Courier-Mail for comment on the doping test claim against Botha.
Hogg said Nasser could have asked Botha to submit to further testing. “But Frans could also rightly refuse,” he said. “Then again, what is the point of testing a fighter on a Tuesday if you only get the result after the fight.
“The only way he would have been tested is if Nasser made him but then which body would Nasser have got to do it?”

Well done Oz on beating the Windies

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-816: whats the matter, just using your principle of guilt by news report, facts have never been relevant to you have they?
so run along moffie boy, havent you khaki shorts to darn?
10 Feb 2013, 13:35 pm
@Meno-811: Cape Town. In all its glory – which is in South Africa, a country represented on the rugby field by the Springboks. South Africans do not find themselves represented by the sporting teams of other countries. They also know more than sweet fokkall about their own country’s sporting personalities.
10 Feb 2013, 13:36 pm
@JockBok-814:
You seem short on words.
I have lost faith in my country after this latest incident.
I had money on Botha.
Now it is clear the best man won.
Why is it that South Africans and Australians seem to be so involved in match fixing and doping .
I think its the ego of big nations ,well it has now been exposed .
The Domino effect is now in play in Australia.
Its only a matter of time until they snitch to save them selves.

@CharlesM-830: just the way my roster at the kings cross nightclub this fat maori security guard works at is scheduled..

SPEAK UP
10 Feb 2013, 13:39 pm
What is wrong with supporting the All Blacks i have supported them for many years.
I have been at many All Blacks matches in my all blacks gear in Capetown .
Do you think it is treason supporting a team that stood up for us people of color in the tour of 1981.
10 Feb 2013, 13:41 pm
@Rage-787: Thanks mate!
10 Feb 2013, 13:41 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-827: why are you mentioning NASSER now?
throughout this whole charade your target has been SBWs, youve been adamant it was his fault the fight was shortened and that it was his fault the bell was rung “early” and that the guilt was solely his
why the change now bakkies? youve been very vitriolic towards the man himself, now you want to shift focus to the manager
fck off you myopic w@nker. your hatred of NZ is well known on this blog and even Saffa posters pity you and are embarassed by your incessant, constant hate spewed forth in NZs direction..
10 Feb 2013, 13:41 pm
@the curse-822: and we are all in agreement once more.
10 Feb 2013, 13:41 pm
@the curse-832:
you said you wanted to serve me something..?…
a big helping of what again?
oh
that’s right
STFU sonny
10 Feb 2013, 13:44 pm
@the curse-839:
i havn’t seen someone serve themselves a helping of ‘egg on face’ like this in years
this almost rivals SBW’s fight, Poeps
come on bud, you have to agree this is funny.
10 Feb 2013, 13:45 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-836:
So, John Hogg says that he is not sure Botha was tested positive, and you velieve him
when Johm Hogg was adamane that both camps agreed to 10 rounds, you maintained and continued to ask why the fight was stopped early?
SO, when John Hoggs statement supports your argument, his word is gospel
when it doesnt, his word is nothing?
10 Feb 2013, 13:47 pm
no egg on my face Bakkies, SBW won the fight and thats all that matters..
10 Feb 2013, 13:47 pm
I have watched so much sport in my life and spent hard earnt money betting on matches ,buying supporter gear and attending games.
Id call sport my religion and in some ways i feel i have wasted my life watching sport and supporting teams when in many cases the game has been tainted by doping and match fixing .
Whats the saying i always hear on the streets in Cape Town
# Money talks
Well in my view now money cheats and money ruins sport
Professionalism & Gambling & Drugs have ruined sport .
At least in WWF we now its rigged.

Bakkies Botha you are an honorable man please front up.
10 Feb 2013, 13:53 pm
so no answer to why you listen to John Hoggs words now, but didnt when he stated that both camps agreed tp the fight being 10 rounds?
why is this bakkies? dont divert, answer the question?

Brumbies becoming the Saracens of the SH
10 Feb 2013, 13:55 pm
you do of course realise that not only have you Anzacs been shown up badly as PATHETICALLY USELESS fight fixers who supported a fighter who was handed his arse by Santa Clause BUT…
you have now also been exposed for your shameful attempts to discredit a boxer who you already defrauded out of a legitimate win by spreading false lies in the media
can this get any better
