Interesting bit of corruption there.
Scheduled as a 12 rounder and announced as a 12 rounder in the introductions but at the start of the 10th round the ref declares it as the last round after a bit of consultation at ringside. Sonny Bill was looking tired from around the 7th and barely hung on in the 10th to grab a points decision. He would never have lasted 12 rounds as Botha was really starting to up the tempo. Frans wasn't too happy at the end declaring the situation as "bullshit". Apparently the ref even told him in the pre-fight instructions that it was over 12 rounds.
Good to see boxing is alive and well!
**SPOILER**
That's just laughable! So glad I didn't get involved with this!
It will be interesting to see if the bookies will be refunding bets on this as they did have the fight listed as 12 rounds. I had a €20 double on Botha and Martin Lindsay to win. Waiting to hear back from my bookmaker.
I'D get onto and have it refunded. They would be quick to refuse a win the other way round

I spent 30 minutes on live chat to Boylesports and they eventually refunded. Wasn't easy getting it back off them.

No shock there. Did they refund or give you a bet voucher?

And now Botha has apparently failed a drugs test. We really do have the best PPV options in Australia. Greedy bastard promoters will one day find there are no cookies left the jar is empty.

So far we've had the fight being mysteriously changed in length, claims and counterclaims that people knew or did not know about it, the WBA allegedly not even sanctioning the fight despite it being billed as such, and now a failed drugs test that may not even have happened.
Shadiest promoter ever, seriously.

David Tua has now called out SBW, even the 2013 version of Tua would make short work of SBW
