Shannon Briggs-Francois Botha

Post by dempseyfire »

Just re-watched the fight . . .pretty entertaining forgotten heavyweight scrap from the late 90s. Briggs of course by far the more talented fighter but Botha really sucked up up and fought his heart out, landing right hands at will. He was knocked down and almost out in 8th round but came back to edge the 9th and won a BIG 10th round in which Briggs got a busted eardrum and was on the retreat. I had Botha winning clearly 7 rounds to 3 with a 3 pt margin of victory b/c of the KD.

What were your scores?

I remember I was surprised how easily Botha landed his punches, despite Briggs serious reach advantage. I do not remember my score, but I also had Botha winning the fight as well, despite the KD.
