The problem is that Botha's promoter has come out and said that the fight was reduced to 10 rounds before it even began. He decided not to tell Botha because apparently you don't tell your boxer these kinds of things.

Even the judges thought it was going for 12:

Dunny Bill told the nz herald he thought Botha would last 12 rounds. The thing that gets me is you can only bet on title fights, if some bum connected to SBWs camp had a grand or two on him they could be in all sorts. He clearly wasn't meant to lose so they should have made it a non title fight and avoided all this bollocks.

Sportingbet refunded my bet on Botha.

I complained last night and they said there was nothing they could do, the head to head result was paid out. But this morning the money was back in my account. Hopefully they refunded everyone, not just those who complained.

Or was his promoter promised to be paid some extra to say he was told pre fight ?

He said he was told as they were entering the ring... is it common for the bout length to be changed that close to the fight?

Also SBW is claiming he knew since the start it was 10 rounds and that's what he was training for... so why all the mention of going 12 rounds on his interviews?

Whichever way you look at it, this stinks.

Channelled my disappointment with some MSPaint copying & pasting (and yes I did gratuitously rip off someone else idea from twitter!!!!!)

Lol, that's brill, you gotta laugh. It is a sham, not only the surprise 10 rounds, but very dodgy reffing- VERY long standing eight count to save SBWs butt, allowing constant cuddling tactics, the 10th round was 15sec short-probably all it would have taken for $BW to be snoozin on the canvas- it is a joke.

$BW has been taught a lesson here, whether camp ****wit wants to admit it or not. I wonder if it will be back to sickness beneficiaries now for $BW...

The fight was worth every cent. It was an entertaining dramatic fight. Sonny Bill fought a great fight but he let Botha's grubby tactics get to him and he joined in on the brawl which was what Botha wanted. It nearly cost him the fight but sbw held on. Great finish. Botha was a dirty grub. Got to agree with Koda Nasser in that one. Fight was a ten rounder from the beginning so itasnt changex during the fight. Botha would not win a rematch. Sbw will only will learn from his mistake and only come back better.

Haters gonna hate. Please tell me who you think won the the fight. Give me some scores.
Sbw was ahead on early points but Botha was coming home strong and SBW was out on his feet! the sanctioned 12 rnds instead of Nassers modifided 9 n 3/4 rnds would have seen SBW out for the count! Embarassing for both Aust Boxing and SBW............
