KIRBY vs BOTHA

[cookie the carr]

If IRON MIKE KIRBY beats SOLOMON he could be gettin a shot FRAN'S BOTHA'S W.B.F title.

[The Kurgan]

He has no chance. Botha is unstoppable and he has a world title to prove it.

WHITE BUFFALO!

WHITE BUFFALO!
OK we will see.

[JOE COOL]

Isnt Kirby the opbf champion how can you get a world title shot

[bushboy]

Kirby would give anyone an uncomfortable night, I would rather see Kirby fighting one of the english stars like Rogan, Now I think that is a winnable fight for him

For a second there I thought you were serious Kurgan.

Tend to agree :good

[Charles White]

I've been a Botha fan for years, so if this fight materializes, I will undoubtedly root for him. I have never heard of this Kirby fella, what's his story my friends?

[The Kurgan]

:lol:

I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for Botha, but I don't think he is or has ever been world champion material. He's just likeable, since he always puts up a decent fight and is so much tougher than he looks.

[Phil Austin]

Yeah the Lewis fight just showed the calibre of Lewis when he is up for it IMO. Kirby can be an uncomfortable night for anyone but Botha would be a big leap too

The same reason MIROVIC got a shot at BOTHA he got beat by OKHELLO then beat a fijian an a kiwi lost to SINAN SAMIL then got KO by SHANE CAMERON, OKHELLO was O.P.B.F champ an got a shot MASKAEV.

Kirby is a hard man mate....dont look at his record....he will give any top aussie a run for their money......Soliman Homono is going to have problems getting passed him :deal

Sounds like a rough and tough guy. I will have to research this further to see how a potential match up between him and Botha would go down.

[Phil Austin]

Very, very strong and un-orthodox - one of those guys whose demeanour outside of the ropes belie his fighting spirit. Botha would have to be a heavy favourite but you would not count him out against anyone

He's been in the gym for year's but only had 6 amateur fights but a lot of sparring with a lot of tough nuts from the western suburbs the K1 fighter MARK HUNT, The big 140 kg unit amateur super heavy AHMET TEMUR, STEVE CIRPARA, young underfeated tongan SOSAIA FUNAKI and HOPPER stopper BRIAN FITZGERLD.

[maco_187]

ahmet temur aint 140 kgs, i saw his last fight hed be about 120 at max i think... and kirby is extremely tough, nathan briggs aint a big puncher but he hit him wiht some of the cleanest shots and it didnt face kirby in the slightest!

[ashley]

I like Kirby's style out of the ring.....he's got a bit of lip and he enjoys the banter between the top fighters in AUST.......he's a larrikin and he will beat Soloman.....just ask him :D

Have you seen him lately ? id like to see the big turk turn pro i think it would suit him more and trim down a bit he's got a good trainer in ERROL OLUKLU out at liverpool P.C.Y.C.

[maco_187]

well not since his last fight about a month ago.. hes a strong guy thats for sure, whether he has the stamina for pro's jsut yet i dunno? how old is he?

[cookie the carr]

24 mate just needs to get fit an box a bit more instead of looking for that one punch knockout cause he can punch thats for sure.

[Edmundpwb]

Sounds like an interesting fight to me. Last i heard he Botha is fighting in europe (probarbly germany). I also have not heard of this Kirkby fellow. So i wonder if that means it will be there? Id like to see Botha in even better shape than his last fight to show he is really on his way back. If he is Kirkby will have his work cut out for him.

[Charles White]

Now having never seen this Kirby fella before, I shouldn't comment, but isn't this a step backwards for Botha? He beat Timo Hoffman last time out (granted a much lesser version of Hoffman than what we are used to) and this just doesn't seem to be a step forward for Botha imho. Any thoughts?

Aussie boxer BIG BOB MIROVIC fought TIMO and got robbed and i think KIRBY would stop BIG BOB it might be a step back for BOTHA but its a step up for KIRBY i just can't BOTHA winning unless he jabs grabs and runs

Kirby has less than 10 fights however he has fights against 2 of our best HW'S in Briggs and Leapai.......Kirbys very tough but hes no Timo or Botha just yet.....its a big step up for Kirby and a step back for Botha.....however if Kirby does beat Solomon it changes things a little.

[boxoncottonon]

Botha has had 3 fights in 7 years, 2 this year....

Haven't seen any of the fights. His last win was a split decision.

If Kirby comes in fit and fights upfront taking it to Botha he will have every chance of taking this by KO IMO.

[RedCornerPromotions]

The Iron Rhino puts them all into retirement...

....

his words not mine ;)

[Phil Austin]

Didn't know Alex Leapai had retired Bri - thanks for the heads up! :p

[fast hands]

Ah it's wonderful to dream,

Kirby V Botha similar result to Hopoate V Mc Call

[Charles White]

If IRON MIKE KIRBY beats SOLOMON he could be gettin a shot FRAN'S BOTHA'S W.B.F title.Where is the source for this info. anyway?:deal

[cookie the carr]

Heard it from a trainer at parramatta P.C.Y.C who's close with KIRBY'S camp:shock: any way KIRBY'S got to beat SOLOMON first.

Na mate don't know i remember seeing him fight at the oz title's some year's back, i just took one of GERGAN'S boy's over to spar with JOHN AKAUOLA il try and find out for you BUSHY.

[Ben K]

WBF = Worthless crud Title

Why would any fighter bother. Sure on Paper it says World Champ. In reality it means you might be in the top 150 Heavies in the World.

Thanks m8 it would be a waste if he didnt turn pro could go pretty well IMO.

[goodnight]

Solo is shot, Kirby should take him if he survives the first three rounds of overhead bombs. Solo seems lost if that strategy doesnt work...

be a good matchup with botha :good

[fast hands]

Any fighter who has a 6 round split decision over Les Mason on their record is going to

create ripples on the world heavyweight scene.

Next time they Rumble -

It will be "In the jungle...the quiet Jungle....the Lion sleeps tonight"

so the Rhino told me!!!

[perfect jet]

After Haumono, Kirby will fight:

- Col Wilson on the Star City card in Oct.

- Then he's got a fight in Japan. I'm not sure if it's against a Jap HW, I'm just trying to think what i was told....maybe it's against an African but it's in Japan. Anyway, there is definateley a fight lined up in Japn for the Rhino...I know that much.

Is their an African HW based in Japan? I don't follow the HW's too closely.
